Is Floyd Mayweather overrated?

Olu is nothing but a troll that adores Floyd. I used to believe he knew boxing but not now

 

He's not even in the top 50 LOL Look at his record & how many fights the Vegas judges gave him wins he did not deserve. He was one of the biggest con jobs in boxing though that I will agree

 

Olu & Stevie Two peas in a pod lol

 

Overrated by his fans who think hes an invincible god that beats everyone in the history of the sport (around his weight class) easily. Underrated by haters who say all he does is run. He's a very polarizing figure if you think about it. The truth is somewhere in the middle of these two sentiments. Personally, id say he's a top 20 ATG

 

Wow what an unfounded original sentence you produced right there, definitely something i've never read before in my life,

Man you really are the boxing expert.

 

He's an extremely tough task from 135-147 for any fighter in history, I'd say that.

 

Floyd is an ATG, he would be the greatest fighter in many different era's but unluckily for him he fought in the same era as Pacquiao, so there is no shame being the 2nd greatest fighter of his era behind a guy like Pacquiao.

 

Cmon CJ. He’s definitely top 50. I hate the guy and disliked watching his fights once his hands were made of paper mache. I only tuned in with the faintest of hope he would be murked by one of his opponents. But there is no denying his accomplishments. He is a lock for top 50, and probably will as time goes on become a lock for the top 15-20 if not higher. Personally, I have him at 18.

 

It'll be quite interesting. The older fighters weren't quite as documented as far as fan opinions go. How that affects Floyd's later standing would be interesting to see.

 

abso****inglutely

 

Anybody can be overrated. It depends what you’re claiming.

We all know about Floyd.

He was one the greatest fighters of all time. But his career was split into 2 parts.

The first half of his career was solely focused on getting to the top. The second half of his career was solely focused on retiring unbeaten, and minimising the risk but for the most reward. Floyd became a businessman more than a fighter.

Regarding what you’ve said, the only thing I disagree with is your criticism of him not fighting abroad. He didn’t need to fight abroad. He was in a position of power.

 

Carefully matched? How? No he isnt though. That is like, Joe Gans? Ali.

 

Oh dear.

 

To be fair, he’d just fought Oscar at JMW. So there was no way that he was going back to LWW afterwards to fight Hatton.

It was also a Vegas fight.

It wouldn’t have made more in the U.K.

 

I’m not following you.

If he struggled to weigh-in under 147, then why are you criticising him for not having fought Hatton at 140?
