Floyd's ATG Status by Weight Class!

Are you saying that so much because you want it to be true?

I've never felt in the minority about that fight when I say that I had Mayweather winning 7-5. If you thought Castillo won, that's certainly reasonable. Who the hell ever thought it was a robbery?

 

Once again, this is very dangerous thinking, long term.

If a team wins the world cup I don't say that they can't be ranked compared to the MLS teams because I only saw a couple of matches but I watch MLS all of the time.

 

That's pretty much my point. Who are those people, if your not talking about yourself? It's okay for many people to think Castillo won because they have a gripe; hell, I know that there are some journalists who have scored MORE THAN ONE fight against Mayweather (the Judah fight and the DLH fight), but I've never heard a single person say that one of his fights was a robbery. If Mayweather-Castillo I was a robbery, then approximately 40% of all fights that go the distance are robberies.

I apologize, I'm just on a hyperbole kick, and a boxing forum is a good place to vent :nut

 

Bigtime is right. You cant compare fighters from then to them of today. Back then fighters were tougher, fought for 15 rounds, fought every month, and with smaller gloves. Compared to those old fighters, boxers of today are pussies and fight in a watered down sport. Boxing aint what it used to be. :yep

 

So it's about video evidence. Ok then....Mosley is greater than PBF at 135. He had a little more speed, more power and a better offensive output. PBF is ahead defensively and thats about it. That's just on video evidence. And don't ask "who did Mosley beat at 135?" That doesn't matter since we are not including resume.

 

You cannot present a fact on what Chavez's defense was like or his footspeed. You cannot present facts on Rosario either about his footspeed and defense. Only an opinion, and you are not counting those.

 

Ive never seen footage of Wilt Chamberlain or Babe Ruth. But their accomplishments are in the record books. Same with the boxers of the past. A Win will always be a Win in the books. It doesnt matter about styles unless you are matching fighters against each other. Thats not what you are doing. You are comparing them by accomplishments and ranking them from 1 to 5. So it doesnt matter if there isnt much footage of older fighters. Just look at the record books and rank the fighters. See who has fought hall of famers. And who beat who. Mayweather doesnt even compare.

And by the way, I have loads of old school footage of fighters. 3 generations deep thanks to my grandfather (RIP) and dad. So dont pull that crap with me, son.
