    I don't get why a boxer should get props for doing what he should be doing. I mean, seriously. Isn't he suppose to fight the best fighters like Mosley? Why are we giving him props for doing what boxers are suppose to do? It just shows where the state of boxing is when we give guys props for simple things like fighting a certain boxer. This is like giving somebody props for making weight at the weigh-in.

    It also shows that the whole "Floyd ducks fighters" has some merit if people are giving him props just for taking this fight.

    Rivaldo's is better. Outside of the box, closing minutes of the most important game of the season. But that was awesome too.

    By the way, my comment regarding Rivaldo being the best player to have worn a Barcelona shirt, I said it wrong. What I meant was, he's probably the greatest player Barcelona have had in the sense that he performed better than Maradona and Cryuff did during their times at Barcelona. He outscored both of them and was only at the club for 5 years himself. If a Barcelona fan was to look at their best players throughout the years, I'd expect Rivaldo to be above those two because he contributed more.

    Fair enough on Maradona but Cruyff lifted them from near the bottom of the league to the top... he`s often mentioned as their best ever... but anyway, both guys would likely make their all time dream team so **** it :good

    Rivaldo certainly has a case.

    Highly unlikely he'd be above cruyff i'd have thought, catalans love him, he definelty wouldn't be above kubala and he won't be above messi either.

    He was immense though

    Why would I give him props for finally doing what other fighters like Mosley,Manny and Cotto been doing ?Should Floyd get a pass because he makes so much money ?This is boxing not American Idol !

    Addie Baldomir certainly wasnt the worst lineal WW champion, and he certainly wasnt a paper champion, he was the legit MAN in the division despite not being the best

    People seem to think avoiding top fighters and the champ not being the best in the division is exclusive to modern times. What about Henry Armstrong not facing Charles Burley, Holman Williams and Cocoa Kid at welterweight? Zale not facing Burley, Williams, Lamotta, Charles, Moore, Marshall etc etc etc, Lamotta/Robinson not facing Burley and most of the Murderers Row

    I notice many PAc fans are saying this pathetic comment as if Floyd never had any tough fights lol... This is not the route to go with knowledgable fans. But then again, it's PAc's fans saying this lol...figures.

  13. tru dat. Alot of these haters are also using this not givin props to mayweather spring board to discredit him if he beats mosely. they just gonna say that he should win anyway and that mosley is only a shell of himself. They will also go on to say that shane five years ago would demolish mayweather, and they would go that route because there is no way to prove it. Haters like arguing about **** that cannot be proven.
