    It certainly shows a lack of respect, but I didn't like him to begin with. He'll be winning me some cold hard ****in' v-cash this weekend though.

    I voted yes, though my real answer would be somewhere in between. I don't like Mayweather for a lot of reasons. One of the main reasons being that he says he is the greatest ever.

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, except Floyd of course. Ali said he was the greatest and what do you know, a couple years after his retirement he is, in the eyes of a lot of boxing fans. Do you know why? Because he said so. Floyd will only get his respect when he is retired. My opinion is Floyd is the greatest boxer ever as far as all around skill. Best resume all time NO! As far as skills I don't put a single boxer ahead of him. That's just me. I am a fan of the sweet science. I don't have to see a KO like a lot of so-called boxing fans. Seriously, go round for round and I can't think of anyone who has a better round winning ratio against top opposition than the guy. That takes skills folks.

    One of the things that made Ali great is that he beat guys the experts thought would destroy him, ie Sonny Liston and George Foreman. Mayweather took two years off when the 147 division was the best it had been in years. He does not try to challenge himself, he tries to avoid challenges. - In general

    Pac wins most of the rounds he fights, and in addition he KTFO most opponents. Is it better to win all the rounds and rarely score a KO or win most of the rounds and often score a KO? KO'ing people is a skill. It takes timing, and guts to try to open yourself up and attempt the big punches.

    First of all the sport is called Boxing, not knockout. It's not like Floyd doesn't have KO's. Second of all Pacquiao wins most rounds against Arum fighters. Just think about that for a while. See Marquez fights and tell me he wins more rounds. You better be on your game when you come at me. Did you not notice I was talking about Floyd and his skill set and you had to mention Pacquioa. Just couldn't help yourself huh! That had nothing to do with the topic

    Let's look at it this way guys. For those of you who have a wife or a girlfriend that wasn't a virgin when you got with her. Would you say that you are the best lover she ever had or would you crown some other dude with that title. Keep it real and think about the thread. Floyd should feel like he is the best. Now shouldn't he!!!

    What happened? Did I run people away with a logical scenario?
