    Crawford is more powerful and versatile than Floyd. I’d favour Crawford over Floyd in most weight classes. If Judah and Corley can crack and hurt Floyd then Crawford would have no trouble.

    Augustus, Castillo, Hernandez, Judah, Corley, DLH, Cotto, Mosley, Maidana, Pac all had rounds where they outboxed Floyd.
    Floyd was great at getting the close victory (he can thank the judges, many have him losing 3 of those fights).
    Floyd has never been anywhere near the Roy Jones, Lomachenko level. Those are guys who can’t be outboxed in their primes.
    Rigo is faster, a better counter puncher, with greater control of range than Floyd has ever had. I don’t understand how some people see Floyd’s fortunate zero and believe that he was some sort of supreme boxer. He was beaten and never looked unbeatable, his bronze is indicative of his pro career as well. I mean Corrales and Canelo were great wins but apart from that.. where are his dominant master class performances against top competition?

    Unfortunately Rigo kept his goblin face.

    Lomachenko is a superb fighter, but he would need way more experience on the pro level to even be considered a better fighter than Floyd Mayweather. Lets be real, Floyd in the lower weight classes at 130-135 beats this version of Lomachenko right now. Don't get me wrong, Loma with his talent would be competitive but Floyd is the better fighter.

    amateurs don't mean ****. But he was robbed of at least winning a silver medal in the 96 Olympics.

    But Floyd wasn't a two time Olympic gold medalist either. Having those amateur credentials surely helped his transition into the pros therefore being in a division that surely wasn't as strong as it used to be at that time allowed him to challenge for a world title in only his second pro fight. But he did fail, we can't deny that. If he was fighting in a better weight class I'm sure they (Top Rank) would have taken their time with him.

    “Amateurs don’t mean **** doe!”

    Why do you idiots always say that? An Olympic Gold Medal is 100 times more prestigious than anything your troll ass has ever done in the sport that you obviously take seriously. And Loma won TWO of them. Stop saying Amateurs “Don’t mean ****” it’s dumb.

    I'm a fan of Lomachenko, but some of the die hard ball gobbler type racists are way to sensitive about their beloved. They get all sensitive when I point out things like Loma has bad skin, or he doesn't punch that hard, or the fact that his non-amateur record is actually 16-1, or the fact that Floyd would have whooped his arse at 135.

    Hero? That's a bit of a stretch, to try and give yourself some weird type of satisfaction, from a win over a much smaller man. Fact remains, that Ward made Kovalev his *****. He moved up in weight to do it too. One day Lomachenko will have those type of balls, to try and be great. There will be a Rougaroo waiting for him at 140, and it won't be pretty.

    I was wondering how long it would take Pimp C to come to the rescue with the same stuff we've heard 100 times over. "Amateurs don't count on pro forums '' but they do count when Loma was 26 in his 2nd fight and FM was 19 and all the same stuff over and over again. He is like a nagging wife. I've never seen anyone that spends his entire life trying to convert non believers to his guy. He should be put on suicide watch. We have seen guys like Floyd before but no one has ever seen anything like Loma before. He just can't handle that some one better comes along even before Floyd's career was over.​

    Hahaha! Holy ****! There you are bringing up Kovalev in a thread that has nothing to do with him. Is that like your main go to??

    “But Kovalev 8 months ago doe!”

    Speaking of balls... who bounced back from their loss and regained a belt looking sharper than ever again and has another fight coming up?? And who is the gutless trash talker that is still radio silent after being THE TROLL OF TROLLS on twitter for the past 3 years??

    Don’t mention “Balls” dude. Because Rigo took his and went the **** home and hasn’t come out ;)
