Is Floyd Mayweather really a great fighter?

Truth is

Mayweathers probably the biggest boxer of his era

He was PFP number 1 for years, and only isn't now, as he gave it up

There isn't anyone on Manny's resume who'd really even push him, let alone beat him

And he'd go into any Pacquiao fight as a favourite. In fact, not many people would be that surprised if he schooled him

That's why you get 2 billion asians, talking about this stuff 7 days a week - pure resentment

 

Pac made 22 Million against Cotto and even more against Margarito. I don't know where you get your info Ceej but you're just full of bull**** hating on Pac cause you're envious of his success

 

I think Augustus is better than Manny's best 135 opponent!

 

waste of talent, but, what a fighter

 

Problem is, you get your figures from Phil boxing, and I get mine from real sources

Manny made $12 million against Cotto. His tax returns were included in Golden Boys legal action against Arum

He declared he made $12 million total, withNevada tax authorities for Cotto.

Either he's a tax cheat, or people talk crap about his money

 

Come on.

Its the great white hope thing.

People just invent guys he has to face

You know, seriously,Manny is about as keen to waste time on Bradley forpeanuts than Mayweather was for a clown like Margarito

 

since when is espn.com Phil boxing?

More ***** logic? (flogic)

What Pacquiao files on his tax return and what he makes through MP promotions and other ways of redirecting funds is completely different.

 

Asians flood sites like this with articles, and polls, as they can't handle Manny being number 2 in the boxing universe.

They need a bit of a lift every now and then. So some poll, where billions of asians click on it, tends to be the solution

You know, you have every internet cafe in South East Asia flooding this, and Mayweather still 70% great!

 

What's the source to the ESPN article?

Top Rank

Golden Boy are suing Arum for lying about how much he was paying Pacquiao right now. It's in the courts.

They produced Manny's tax receipts for boxing, that he filed with Nevada showing he made nowhere near the money Arum claims he does.

His finances showed he only made $12 million, before tax, against Cotto, and only $6 million for Clottey

Either he is ducking tax, and filing false accounts, or Arum lies about the money he makes

 

lol, complaining about the stall next door when youve clogged up your toilet.

 

Its arguable that Pac would be able to defeat Hoya at middleweight. Even if he was though you consider Pac a great and he is the only one you named. So you are basically telling me that Mayweather isn't great but only a fighter that you consider great could accomplish what accomplished?

What you stated was an opinion so you can't be lying as its an opinion. But at the same time you claimed that Mayweather fought 2 guys outside of there weight. Mayweather fought at 135, 140, 147 and 154 outside of his weight, he doesn't get credit for it. But if another fighter fights outside his weight its an excuse. So either Mayweather must receive full credit for fighting outside of his weight or you cannot hold it as an excuse for other fighters. Or are you claiming that Mayweather is to "great" that most fighters fighting outside of there weight have no chance at beating him?

How do you claim that a fighter didn't deserve a belt when he didn't lose at that weight class for like 8yrs was on a 17 fight win steak and took the belt from one of the top rated belt holders. What more does he have to do be considered as earning his belt? I assume you are talking about Baldomir who even defeated Joshua Clottey, Jab Judah, and Gatti as apart of his 17 fight win streak. Guys like that aren't good enough but guys like Carlos Quintana is a great win for Cotto fighting for a vacant belt and not accomplishing half of that.

I won't even expose the Mosley comments as that was just sad on your part.

 

fights that should of happened, but, never did. if he fights pac, he can change all that

 

I'm an 'ol guy. Seen the best live since the early '40s. Mayweather would be a great BOXER in any era.

 

i think both would fight bradley, but steer clear of martinez. Floyd would stand a better chance vs martinez. Not sure if he ducked margo or cotto. But it would've looked better if he did fight either of them.

 

He was never a great fighter.

But he is a great great great boxer.
