    That '0' is literally a millstone round floyds neck - he's so preoccupied with remaining undefeated that he has missed out on some of the biggest fights and kudos he could have had in his career so far - he's haunted by the fear of losing is 0 status - so much so that its paralyzed him into prolonged inactivity .

    It would have been better for Floyd and boxing in general if he had suffered a narrow points loss to some wiley old trial horse before he hit double figures as a pro , we would have seen some great fights by now for sure .

    Is it that hard to answer? And the fact that he was a part time boxer means you should be able to name more then one right?

    yes of course

    us Pacfans respect Floyd as a boxer

    its him as a human being and his decision making that got us hating!

    Meanwhile *****s have no respect for Pacquiao as a boxer and try to belittle him every chance they get

    This **** has been shot down a while ago. if that's true, then how come everybody gets their highest pay day fighting Floyd. When you say **** like this, it makes it hard for people to take anything you else say seriously

    He could have accomplished more. The problem is people are turning he could have accomplished more into he accomplished nothing.

    I'm a huge Pac fan and I respect Floyd as a boxer and a person as well. I honestly do not give a **** about his personal life and his trash talking. I do think it sucks that he's created a link in the media between boxing and PEDs, just cause Pacquiao was tearing up the sport and outshining him. But that doesn't affect the way I judge him as an athlete. Mayweather is a great boxer no doubt.

    This thread is complete **** and *******s are ruining this forum. How the **** can anybody not say Floyd isn't a great fighter. That's not even an opinion, it's more as fact. Whether he's an atg is a different discussion, but he is a great fighter :patsch

    I thought maybe my perception of a great fighter was different from everybody else's, so I made a thread asking the same question about Marquez

    :-(
    Marquez is a great fighter in my eyes, but how do 92% of people think he's a great fighter and only 66% think Mayweather is. You *******s are unbelievable and when Pacquiao loses to this non great fighter, I hope you all comitt suicide

    Floyd is great? How in the world is he great? :patsch

    Corley/ Bruseles/ Baldomir ---- WTF? Their combined losses are 100+!

    JMM --- Fukkstick cheated on scales. Against a fat JMM.

    Mosley --- Old and unsteroided.

    And he can't hurt any boxer, no matter how small, like JMM. :patsch

    I differ on the ped thought but good post. Pac has not been caught using peds so I believe pac when he says he's never used. Anyone can come up with accusations, proof is another matter.

    They just saying **** to talk **** a lot of them don't even care about boxing enough to give a respectable vote. You can tell the ones that care and love boxing can't bring themselves to say no even if they don't like Mayweather.
