    The moment he got the decision against De La Hoya we lost Floyd Mayweather the boxer and found Floyd Mayweather the businessman.

    Floyd cherry picks an opponent, what else is new?

    It's not THAT bad of a fight, Guerrero is a good fighter and as game as they come.

    I'll watch it, Mayweather will win a wide UD, Guerrero will give it a spirited showing, I'll walk away from the fight not thinking any more or less of Floyd as a fighter, really.

    We all know the script with Floyd now.

    Like when he went to 140 and sought out an easy pay day versus WBC champ Gatti rather than Tszyu/Hatton. Though Hatton later turned it down so he could wait to make more money to get battered.

    Floyd hasn't ever beaten a welterweight that's anywhere near what DLH was in his prime.

    You say that because Floyd is just THAT good, he makes game fighters look un-game. Simple as. Nobody ever truly gives Floyd the credit he deserves.

    When he makes the fights, people run around hectically to watch Floyd loose the 0, adamant that "this is it.....this is the one"

    But when he beats them like no other, all the excuses come out, same **** is happening with my boy Broner. Trying to suppress the victory, trying to suppress the glory.

    Try telling De la Hoya he didnt come in to try against Floyd, or Coralles, or Gatti, or Hatton, or Marquez, Mosley, Judah, the list goes on and on, they all came in with a gameplan, they all come in confident like the last failed try, and they DO try, but they cant touch Floyd. Nobody can.

    So f*ck all the people who try to take away from Floyds victories, trying to suppress his greatness. These are more than credible fighters, they were before the fight, and are so afterwards. Some are/were greats, how can you downplay this....and he all makes it look easy work. Maybe even to easy that the haters come crawling saying it was a "bum" fighter he beat.

    These aren't cherry picked plucked powder puff shitty weight drained has been fighters, these are at the top of the rankings themselves, as we have seen time and again, Floyd chews them up, spits them out, and then that SAME fighter goes up against someone else at the top of the division, and gives them a tough fight! Look at Juan Manuel Marquez.

    Floyd is simply on another level. It aint no achievable level on this planet, its astral. Pacquiao doesnt even deserve to be in the same ring anymore, the fight should of happened long time ago before Pacquiao became 2nd hand goods, if it happens anytime soon, it will be the same result as it would have been when the fight SHOULD have happened.

    The best fighter that Floyd has ever beaten is Marquez.

    A man who hadn't fought at welterweight before, and was ideally suited to him stylistically.

    Slower of both hand and foot, with awful footwork whilst on the offensive.

    Fighting bums like Victor Ortiz doesn't mean ****. Fighters like Leonard and Hearns would have laughed at the thought of fighting such a poor fighter.

    Look, BB and other posters.

    People are having this conversation in football right now, with Lionel Messi - Is he the greatest of all time?

    Some people dont want to say it, either because they want to see and say it is so in the end, when it is all said and done. Or maybe for other reasons. But deep down they know, that Messi being the GOAT is more than just a huge possibility, its very very real. Regardless of your conditioning and players of the past.

    These people will delay until it is inevitable, and they will HAVE to say in the future, what they thought may have been the case all along anyway. Whether they like it or not.

    Many people disliked Floyd for years, was it jealousy or was it his attitude? Wanting him to taste defeat, until they finally saw the whole picture fully, what he can do and has been doing. ONLY NOW, does he start getting credit.

    The fact is, Floyd has already been defeated, like many of us, he has learned from that, the defeats came when he was a child, and from his personal life, he takes them, values them and learns from them, and makes sure he doesnt taste it in the environment he has control in. A boxing ring.

    People laugh and hate on Audley Harrison, being rubbish, this and that, a failure, con-man etc etc. But the man MADE IT, thats why he is proud. Thats why he still smiles, thats why when he gets this hate, he knows he has a home, wife and children to go back to, it dont matter. He came from humble beginnings and made millions and in the process won a gold medal. If he rolled over tomorrow morning, do you think he would be embarrassed and ashamed? Its who he is as a person that matters to him. He is loved by his family, and no amount of haters are ever gonna take that away from him with throw away comments and abuse.

    My question is, why wait till the inevitable, WHY NOT say it now? The truth is the truth.

    Floyd is the most complete and advanced fighter we have ever seen so far, he can do it all. All parts of the game. Boxing skill wise he is on another level compared to some other great fighters in his same era. We must start looking at this, it goes beyond just another talent, look at what he does inside a ring, analyze every last drop of what he does and can do. What he does to sell fights like no other, how hard he works to stay at the top.

    **** off :lol:

    I don't have Messi as the #1 at this stage, but at least he's operating at the highest level that's available.

    Floyd hasn't.... didn't want to know Mosley when he was at his best, didn't want to know Margarito, Cotto, and ran like a sissy from Pacquiao.

    That's akin to Messi playing really well in the CL, and then before the quarter finals saying ''tell you what boys, that's me for the season''.

    Messi plays in La Liga, is that really the highest level? a 2 team league?

    I'd say the toughest league is actually nowadays, the Bundesliga or the Championship. Because the leagues are tight, and very competitive. Different winners every year, nobody ever really runs away with it.

    So if Messi wants to prove he is the GOAT, he needs to sign for Leeds United. :lol::lol::lol:

    Messi has done it on the European stage, but what about the World one?.....to be considered WORLD CLASS and a true great, or even GOAT, you need to do it at the world cup.

    IMO Messi is not the GOAT.....although time is on his side.

    Zinedine Zidane is the GOAT for me. Then Diego Maradona. Then Pele.
