    From the front page :

    By Yero moody: As many of you know, who have read my previous articles, that I have always been and will continue to be an avid supporter of great boxers. In my humble opinion, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is the best boxer of this generation. While I do not agree with or like his out of the ring antics, or his seemingly arrogant behavior. It remains clear why he is the number one pound for pound fighter in the world. No other fighter brings the complete array of skills that he brings into the ring. If this retirement turns out to be final I wish him the best as well as his many fans and family members..


    Agree or Disagree ??

    Well, first you would have to define his "generation". Fighters who made their pro debut between 1995 and 2000?

    As long as we are talking whatever generation took place after Jones, yes Floyd is the man.

    Is agree. But is De la Hoya part of the Jones generation or the Mayweather generation? Hopkins is from the Jones' era...

    Interesting

    Who's the best boxer since 1980? Sugar Ray Leonard or Pernell Whitaker.

    The dots were designed to distract you from my throwing Gavilan in there. A smaller font size was contemplated, as were some emotions, but I thought simplicity best given people already seem distracted with the big Floyd news today.
