SRL had the gifts and ability to outpoint anyone and he could have easily retired undefeated. Instead he chose to go almost toe to toe with Duran and lost in a great fight. Mayweather could have done that with PAC. SRR showed in the rematch what he could have done in the first had he chosen to. The rematch with Duran was still alot better than any of mayweathers fights.
Another thread comparing an old Floyd to prime fighters. Did Floyd change his style with age and through multiple weight divisions....yes. Did I read this thread? No
But Floyd is a non-puncher who fights bigger guys mostly. Wlad is a puncher fighting smaller guys mostly. For that reason I find Floyd easier on the eye and less irritating.
PLEASE!! Stop calling Floyd Mayweather a FIGHTER!!!! He is NOT a FIGHTER!! He couldn't FIGHT!! to save his life. Heck its a stretch to even call him a boxer. All he does ,& has done for years, is run , hold like a limpet & forearm shiver. He knows all he has to do is be standing at the final bell in Vegas & he gets the decision. The sooner he is gone from boxing the sooner boxing can regain credibility
Sugar Ray Robinson was the only Sugar Ray. Leonard doesn't deserve it To me he's Saccharin Ray Leonard a FAKE!!
jajajaj 😂😂😂😂 he must be a wikipedia warrior who got both sugar Rays mixed up
The current Mayweather fights like an uninspiring amateur. He just does. At 130-135 he fought like a professional boxer. In those divisions he was trying to land combo's and sit down on his punches.
140, as well. He really only began to emphasize defense and pot shot at welterweight. Even then, he's had good fights with Cotto, Maidana, Hatton, and Judah.
I've been saying that for quite awhile to the guy is 60+ years old and comes off like a 14 year old school girl. I mean what grandfather comes on message boards to spew such nonsense? The guy is ****ing crazier than a psych ward rat and needs to be committed.
