Ya know....I think of the current crop of fighters...the best overall one isnt Floyd at all. I think its Mosely. Call me crazy...I dont think Shane is better per say...but I do think he is more well rounded of a fighter. (ooooooo probably gonna get flamed by someone for this...)
Whittaker. Pernell barely lost rounds against top opposition in his prime. He may not have been the biggest puncher. But he was damn near unbeatable in his prime. Here's my top 5: 1. Whittaker-IMO the best Lightweight ever 2. SRR-Best Welterweight ever 3. Floyd Mayweather-Could go down as the best all-around fighter 4. RJJ-The best athlete of all fighters 5. Ali-Uncanny speed and mouth for a heavyweight
Floyd hasn't dominated his opponents any where near as convincingly as Roy did though. And Tyson although exciting is definitely beatable even in his prime. Pea was a great fighter, I just don't think he can compare with the offensive arsenal that Roy had. Leonard is a good pick, although the fact that he lost during his prime against Duran rules him out IMO>
Hamed was well beaten during his prime though. Although he beat good fighters, at times he wasn't as convincing, and he never really defeated true elite competition apart from Kelly IMO, whom he went virtually life and death with and coudl have very easily been knocked out by.
He was very talented for his era, but I don't think he would compete against modern day fighters at an elite level considering far boxing has come as a sport.
Floyd dominated almost as many fights as Roy. But not in flashy fashion. Floyd did it in technically superior fashion. He just made the guy realize he was better then them. The look on any floyds opponents face is pure frustration from round one. They cannot get in to there groove as all said after the fight. Even Castillo in the first fight kept saying I cant figure him out. I cant figure him out.. I mean :huh:huh Roy dominated but Floyd did a little bit less in my book. But I am a so called Floyd groupie that overhypes a fighter that people like Don King and Bob Arum that have no interest or dont even like the guy and say he is the best fighter they have seen since Ali and leonard. But hey ..what do they know...:admin:admin:admin:admin
**** I forgot Mosley, awesome talent he is. I remember watching his fight against Antonio Diaz, it was like watching a Roy Jones Highlight reel. :good
TooPretty, Floyd had big trouble vs Castillo, lost rounds against the like of Sosa, Chavez and even the B level Augustus. He didn't dominate his opponents anywhere near the level of Roy. Don King and Arums opinion isn't worth **** because they have their own agendas.
Like No Body Reads . It Says Talent Right Rjj, Srr,srl,ali,billy Conn,money Mayweather (he Was Great On Mtv's Cribbs) ,willy Pep,p Whitaker, No Paticular Order.
Floyd had trouble with augustus/chavez....lol.. you are a pure and utter clown that didnt watch either fight. Augustus got beat every single round of constant punches to his head. He could take what floyd had to dish but that is about it. He lost every round:rofl:rofl:rofl Every single one...as long as that fight lasted which his corner tossed in the towel. Same with Jesus Chavez.. He won every round but two before it was stopped. He beat Sosa every round in a landslide...lol though I dont agree I give Sosa 3 rounds. So if losing 3 rounds is having trouble in a fight where you get all rounds scored for you in reality...lol Your opinion is worth **** b/c you are not a boxing judge. Have 0 credibility and if you got to the actual facts your post just got owned. **** WHAT YOU THINK..lol who cares..
HAHAHA.... you are a pathetic wannabe gangsta ****. Read my post.. I said he lost rounds against those guys. Go check the score cards you idiot. God you are a ****. I said he had trouble against Castillo.
