    Please I invite everyone to give calculated responses with level headedness.

    First in way shape or form am I saying that because he never fought at 160 it will write of anything he did but as
    someone who thinks he is better than the greats the true boxing fan would ask why he never fought at mw?


    I know some of you will say he is to small(which is not true)

    wasn't duran too small?

    so I ask do you think it would hurt his legacy that he never tested himself and fought at 160?:think

    as annoying and pathetic as Floyd is, 'boxing_masterbater' might be worse.

    I mean hell he has come up from 130,but i guess 147 (his 5th division) is not outside of his weight class to you...so why not go up to 175 since he is so huge

    I really feel Floyd could of tested himself by fighting at 160 but instead he fought the ghost

    Not really. Not fighting when his division was on fire has done that already.

    Mayweather for me is a small mw naturally.

    many mw's don't start of as mw's they grow into mw's

    go check duran who went up to super mw and he is smaller than mayweather
