If you could box as well as Floyd Mayweather...

I'm not a Floyd fan but I appreciate his great skills. And I used to think he was a cherry picker of the worst kind but if grown to completely appreciate the business minded side of him at the end of the day he has earnt the most in boxing history, and has done it by hardly taking a punch


However to the people that say he cherry picks opponents ( and I'm not denying he does) I would very much like one of them to post some opponents he should have faced !! Its easy to say he cherry picked .

 

Highest paid athlete (or boxer) and respected/admired by nearly everyone in the pro boxing community. How can you argue with his decisions? Sure, you might have a better legacy if you made different decisions but you also might not reach the pinnacle of success. I definitely would've at least tried harder to make the Pacquiao fight but looks like Floyd, for the most part, has gotten it right. There are actually successful people who dream of being where Floyd is at. I would pursue all the superfights but guys like Margarito and P. Williams are not important for my resume.

 

I would have jumped ship from Arum the same way he did.


And because this is the biggest reason for some of the names lacking on his resume, I would have to say "YES".


When you sift through all the Arum bull****, his resume isn't nearly as bad as some people like to believe. The only questionable ones are PW and Pac. Nothing to see here.

 

Very funny because he's not even the greatest in a decade, the same decade he was fighting in . How can he be the greatest of his eraatsch.

 

He has consistantly taken on good opponents comin off good wins... And fights out of his comfort zone (154). The blemishes on his record are the marquez weight issue.

All other opponents he supposedly "ducked" is not a fact and both sides of the argument have good facts so its hard to factor that in

 

Seeing as I'm a LHW, I wouldn't need to cherrypick if I had skills like that - but I would spend a lot of time calling out Ward and insisting he come up to 176 ;-)
