    He almost did. And I dont think I said Ruslan would knock him, just that he would have won. THat was a 50/50 pick though, Crawford on the other hand is a 90/10 pick and you can quote me on that.

    Styles make fights but if a shot Oscar and c level maidana can push Floyd just imagine what a high level fighter like Brook would do

    50/50 fight??! Matthysse won at least 9 rounds and in the 12th ruslan was back to missing 99 percent of his punches


    Fact is nobody has ever clearly beat ruslan but Lucas not even Bradley who is highly respected

    LMFAO at least 9 rounds? Many people had Ruslan winning, most had it 7-5 to 8-4, yes those who picked Matthyse and fan boys like you had it 9-3.

    What rounds did you give ruslan then let's discuss and the masses either had it 8-4 or 9-3 stop lying


    Even ruslans own manager said he would not let him face Lucas again until he changed his style

    It amazes me how Mayweqther career is always judged post DLH as if he never had a career before then. If your shopping for a new house don't look through the window, open the door and walk in.

    That will be because after dlh he avoided any known threat yet made obscene amounts of money defending against no one with a chance of beating him

    How many times do we have to have the "this fighter wasn't as great because he didn't fight -blank- or -blank-" conversation. you could do that with most great fighters of the last 20 or 30 years.

    Floyd has never done anything bad in his life. He has fought nothing but all time great fighters, all in their prime, who were all undefeated when he fought them. He also avidly speaks out against domestic violence. He is the single greatest human being that has ever lived.

    Are you happy now?

    yes he has much slower hand speed. only way lucas wins is if he catches him with a bomb.

    @Mac mand

    So you're telling me Cotto, Mosley, Hatton, Pacquiao, Alvarez had no chance to beat him and weren't real challenges? If that's the case it sounds like more of a testament to his own greatness than who he supposedly ducked. The buzz before most of those fights were all those opponents had a real chance to beat him. Even the late great Emmanuel Steward and Roberto Duran predicted years before they fought, that Guerrero would beat Mayweather. In hindsight things always become very clear.
