In 30 plus years Floyd will be remember as nothing more than just a great fighter

This troll is a sneaky one. :good

That being said, I somewhat agree with you. But one more big win (like beating Pac or Martinez) puts Floyd into that sphere. Not equal to an Ali but up there as an ATG.

 

I got news for you in 30 years most fighters wont even get mentioned. Sure you will here the Ali or SRR comment the rest will be forgotten except by the boxing astute.

 

I think the comparison might be made in reference to Floyd's amazing defensive abilities.

 

I agree. I cant really picture anyone would say.

"Hey Floyd Mayweather jr was great. Remember all his big fights vs great fighters like Boldamir and Zap judah"

Just doesnt sound right

Mayweather was proberly one of the most talanted boxers the world had ever seen but he was to affraid to lose his 0.

He will be another Sven Ottke and that is really sad

 

He'll be remembered in the same light as a Pernell Whitaker. That's as far as it will go.

 

Whitaker is considered top 30 ATG by many so it's not that bad.

 

BUT if he were to fight Pacquiao and be in a war and then move up to fight Sergio Martinez we could say 'remember Floyd Mayweather? He fought Pacquiao at a time when Pacquiao was beating up all these guys much bigger than him with his offensive awesomeness and lil Floyd used amazing defence and boxing brilliance to neutralize it all. It was the two best fighters of the era against each other and he won. Just like Leonard Hearns 1 or Ali and Frazier. Then he went up and fought a skilful southpaw who outweighed him by 15lbs and had was taking names and guess what he won that too. What a great figher Floyd was'..........I wish. I wish Mayweather would do what his god given talent enables him to do. Every fight he could POSSIBLY take he could win and win handily. He is quite evidently the most gifted pure fundamental boxer around today. He just needs to stretch those skills against the biggest challenges. Yet we are kept waiting....

 

+1 atsch......such a shame though as if he only had the balls i think he could have been remembered for much much more.

 

agreed

 

Depends what he does in the near future. At the moment he won't be held in high regard due to his level of opposition and lack of ambition.

He will be known as "that twat who threw fake money at fans"

 

Don't be silly. Floyd whoops emmanuel's AZZ without letting emmanuel fighting emmanuel's kind of fight.

Why would anyone say the Floyd Mayweather Jr of his time? There's only one Floyd Mayweather. Premium **** doesn't need to get cheapened and degraded by unnecessary quantity.

 

To be honest its going to be different ... Mayweather's era is more advanced as far as technology goes .. so 30 years from now he might be viewed the same way he is viewd now ... u can watch every floyd fight and we can't say that about Louis or Robinson or Armstrong or Pep and ect ....... so we have no choice but to go by what the media says ..

Mayweather is an ATG and will be remembered as one ... the film will always be there
