Duran and Leonard made ridiculous comments. Like the fab 4 again is untouchable.

    Just cause Floyd didnt fight Pac & Margarito ( 2 Top Rank fighters) doesnt mean he wouldn't have fought any of the Fab 4....Floyd is an all time great, jedi sweet science master, old school/throwback fighter. He isnt afraid of any fighters. Do you think Kobe was afraid of Jordan? Was Shaq afraid of Wilt? Legends arent afraid of legends. Floyd has been one of the longest reigning champions ever. This is not an accident or mistake.:patsch

    He's making just as much as DLH was when he was boxing. This 6 fight contract probably propelled him past DLH.

    Duran/Leonard keeps saying the same old **** over and over again even though 20-25 years have passed.

    "I could have knocked out DLH"
    "I could have knocked out Tito"
    "I could have knocked out Martinez"
    "I could have knocked out Floyd"
    "I could have knocked out Manny"
    "I could have knocked out Pea Whitaker"

    They're so deluded to this point it's hilarious.

    You can see that they're just as bitter as Holmes is over Lewis/Tyson because Lewis/Tyson had superstar qualities and Holmes was easily forgotten.

    Floyd is one of the smartest fighters to ever live, how many of those greats were able to adapt to any opponent as good as Mayweather? Also I agree those fighters have more power and are naturally bigger but if Floyd was a natural WW or MW with the same skill set, he would have a chance to beat any ATG from those weights. Floyd is a super feather weight that has scaled the weights and has remained dominant for 17 years. What other fighter from the 80s did that?

    I think it means a lot that Floyd did not fight Pacman. I don' think Floyd would have fought the fab 4, yet I know for sure Oscar and Tito and Mosley would have. Actually one fight I would have liked to see is Mosley vs. Tito. But no I don't think Floyd would have fought the fab 4. The Pacman situation proves it. He had 3-4 years to fight Manny.

    Well for all we know, someone was a naturally smaller guy, a flyweight specifically who has been dealing men who are much bigger than him.

    Your argument is hypothetical and has no weight.

    We are talking about men who tested their greatness, even less talented than Floyd, by fighting who are the best around them.

    Even Arguello took the top dog at 140 at that time in Pryor. Who's the top dog Floyd fought at 140? Gatti????

    You're entitled to you're opinion, but I don't think he'd have fought Tommy Hearns for a billion dollars.

    If we were in the early 80's now, Floyd would be taking more vacations than Clark W. Griswald. :lol:

    Why on earth would Duran or Leonard be jealous of Mayweather..? Its been 25-30 years since their glory days and..? People still talk about the fabulous four and all of their fights, their fights have gone down in history not just in boxing history but..? sporting history, and in the general life of anybody who witnessed them.

    In 30 years time do you think anybody will be getting nostalgic over Floyd Mayweather's fights..?

    Has Floyd Mayweather really got the fan base of the fabulous four..? Floyd Mayweather fans are made up of Hip-Hop fans, and people who like to pretend to support something because..? they think its popular.

    If Mayweather lost his next fight, allot of people would up and leave.

    Duran is idolised by his country and fans! People in america still boo Floyd Mayweather, and do you remember when a large majority of yanks supported Ricky Hatton...?

    Ohhh and didn't people boo and walk out of his latest fight..?

    Shut up you stupid *****, go and talk about how much money Mayweather gets paid.

    No, Floyd will not put money in Arums pocket, especially after Arum slandered him since 2006 because Floyd duped him and went on to have the biggest PPV fighter ever and become the biggest star in boxing. Why would Floyd do business with this scumbag right here....

    The reason Mayweather opted for the buyout rather than waiting for the May 6 result was because the contract had a limited window for the buyout, one that expired before the De La Hoya fight. However, Arum said he would have extended the window if Mayweather had asked. What Arum wouldn't do, he said, was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.

    Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

    Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

    So Arum wanted to trick Mayweather into extending his contract to fight Hatton & Cotto for much less than he made when he actually fought them:lol: Then he states that there was no way for him to get Mayweather $20 in a fight vs DLH:lol:.

    Im glad Floyd never did business with this guy who tried to sabotage his career and low ball & devalue his worth as a boxer, entertainer & superstar.:good

    Pacman didnt fight Zahir Raheem, he didnt fight Juan Diaz or Casamayor ....we can go on and on, does this mean that Pac would have never fought any fighters from the past?

    Elitest, entertainers of all races from every art form and sport, multimillionaires show up to Floyds fights. STFU:patsch

    Your entire post is based off the ideas in your head. Not facts at all and no evidence to support it.

    You just made yourself look like a amateur Boxing fan.

    With this comment.

    What do you mean how well did these fighters adapt well for one they all fought each other and all 4 have more skill and POWER than anyone Floyd has faced.

    Floyd looks great during this ERA because he in a majority of his fights is the larger man fighting guys coming up.

    Name me One fighter that Floyds faced with Hearns,Duran and Hagler type Power Shots.

    Then Leonard had about the same Power as Mosley but was a class above Floyd.

    Yes I said it Ray Leonard would ****ing wipe the Floor with Floyd.

    How well did they adjust well ask Leonard after the Duran Loss.
    Ask Hagler after the 1st Round against Hearns Power shots and Long Long Reach.
    I did the background fights with there best wins and who they fought and won against before and after.

    Defense , Speed and on you bike running fighting off your back foot is one thing but the Power skill and size that the 4 Fab had are another and they all fought at 160.

    So tell me this then and be honest how do think Floyd would go right now against

    Martinez at 160. Taking in mind he is not in his Prime and the fact Sergio couldnt wear the Fab 4 JOCK STRAP.

    Another delusional fella.

    This is what I'm talking about. Your nostalgia dickriding skills are off the charts.

    And yes, people in 30 years will appreciate Mayweather 10x more than today. He will be bumped higher and higher in the ATG list while making shitloads of money in his promotional venture

    Presently, Duran/Hearns are dirt poor, Hearns is punch drunk. All 3 of them have no ways of making money.

    If you can't see that Duran/Hearns/Leonard are deluded, you're as blind as a ****ing bat.

    They're jealous of the success Mayweather has now. Money that they never got.

    That's why they come out on the daily with these comments.

    Why else would they just randomly blurt this **** out unprovoked? It's because they're butthurt/jealous.
