    I assure you, it's not nearly as frustrating as talking those fighters with people who know absolutely nothing about them, or the sport in general.

    Ring Magazine is so full of credibility that GBP bought it to bolster his.

    End of discussion.

    Most great athletes overrate themselves. Its why they're great, they have confidence in their abilities.

    A multi-millionaire, and thought ofas one of the best fighters of his generation. Nothing sad about it really. If believing what he believes got him to where he is, cant fault him.
    No worse then basically calling Joe Louis a house ****** like Ali. I believe a fight between Floyd and Leonard would be hella competitive. Leonard would probably get the best of Floyd based on his ability to throw punches and bunches, and basically fight at any pace imagineable. But it wouldnt be a wash. And if Floyd believes he can beat Leonard becuase of film he studies, more power to him, I'd certainly take the opinion of a 5 division champion over some anonymous nobody on ESB,
    Whooping. What did Floyds face look like after the fight?
    None of the fighters listed above are elite except for Manny. Shane is old, would stand no chance against Floyd, Margarito was a cheater and a scrub who got beat by Daniel Santos, and Paul Williams was exposed and so was Cotto. A 154lb DLH beats every welter except maaaybe Mosley. Judah would beat Berto. So would a prime Hatton. Cotto, Margarito and Mosley would be a step up in class from Judah, Baldomir and Hatton but not by that much that I dont think Mayweather would dominate them.

    Besides if you had actually taken the time to read the thread, you would know that it was not exclusively Mayweathers fault these fights werent made, but the fact that Mosley declined him twice, and Arum didnt wanna match Cotto up with him, nor could guarantee a fight with Oscar.


    Really, I can tell alot about someones boxing knowledge when they think fighters like Cotto and Margarito are elite. Manny is an elite fighter. He showed that a fighter like Cotto isnt even in the same discussion.

    And I believe Floyd is trying to fight Manny. If he beats Manny I dont care if he fought another welter. Manny is head and shoulders above the rest.

    His best wins are over Corrales who was the man at 130 and P4P 5, and DLH in his 5th weight class. Manny has an argument for having similar victories, but you saying Cotto is laughable.

    And you still managed to convinced yourself Floyd deserves to be rated high on the ATG list:-(

    Sorry, dont believe I've ever stated where I had Mayweather on the ATG list. At 130 he is the greatest ever. Beating 13 champions over 5 weight classes while remaining undefeated just adds to his legacy. I know you're probably a ******* who doesnt know who guys like Genaro Hernandez, Corrales, Famoso, Castillo ect were, but they were damn good fighters who won multiple titles and were considered the best of Floyds age.

    Yeah right, because I don't agree with you that Jose Napoles is the best fighter in ever with allof the hyperbole I mentioned in my post means I know nothing abut him or the sport.

    get a grip, you are missing a great sport out there. If you think Napoles is that fantastic you should watch some other guys........


    You should just go and post on the Jose Napoles fan club board, and you can guys can all talk about how unbeatable he was.

    Name me some guys that were superior to Napoles that you think I haven't seen a great deal more of than yourself. I can guarantee you 100% I've seen and know a lot more than you have, and have come to the conclusion that Napoles is one of the best I've ever seen in the ring. If you don't get that it has a lot more to do with your extreme lack of analytical knowledge of the sport, not to do with Napoles being overrated.

    The fact that your only argument to the contrary here is that I'm a Napoles nut-hugger shows how limited your knowledge of both the man and the sport in general is. It also shows that you're a worthless debater and a worthless poster in general.

    So a writer says Floyd wins 6 out of 10 fights against some ATG.. NONE of which are invincible. Stop the press. Put Manny Pacman against the best lightweights of history and I bet the same caught in the moment bitches and the pre-pepsi clear fake historians..... would give him 8 out of 10 despite him only beating David Diaz.

    Didn't Keith say something like "Napoles didn't have footwork like Mayweather". Honestly, he's a **** poster. Put him in with NALLEGE.
