    Haha, that's funny, since I even mentioned that "Some boxers are sometimes better than seem humanly possible" and then stated that Floyd Mayweather was one of these boxers :yep

    Lets make things clear, I don't hate Floyd, I just think he's a bum/coward/wimp for not fighting Pac. The great fighters of the past had no issue facing off other good or great fighters. Floyd, while having great skills, is just a chicken for having dodged fighters throughout his career. And now, like a buffoon, he's walking around calling himself "the greatest boxer who ever lived" while running away from Pac. How ridiculous is that?

    It's funny now that if you don't ride Mayweather's dick, you're a Pac lover... It's either that, you love Floyd and say he's the greatest fighter ever, or you're a Pac gay lover or I don't know what's the correct term...

    Yeah, I do think Pac is a great fighter, but so is Mayweather. The only difference is that Pac fights other fighters, and Floyd won't fight the better boxers out there.

    Mosley? He's an old man... At his prime, while doped, he lost to Forrest twice... To Winky twice... To Cotto... Now he's old, he's not on drugs anymore, beating him isn't very significant IMHO. Yet, he almost KO'd Mayweather... And he's no Pacquiao that's for sure. Pac would get rid of old man Mosley in 3-4 rounds tops...

    Mayweather has great skills, but he's a bum. RA the rugged man exposed him in his interview, and Mayweather exposes himself constantly now by refusing to fight Pacquiao and having dodged fighters for the last 7-8 years...

    Only fools think that beating old man Mosley proved anything... Remember when Mayweather beat De La Hoya? Marquez? It was the same ****, fighters passed their prime, smaller fighters... Pac destroyed De La Hoya, he would destroy Marquez too now... Mayweather failed the greatest test of his career. That wasn't even beating Pac, it was simply having the courage to face him.

    Don't mistake mercy for lack of greatness. Valuev completely outboxed but held back on Holyfield. Due to his size, like as in canines, he was actually "older" than Holyfield and far more past his prime than Holyfield. Don't let the American media fool you. Or mistake the giant's mercy for deficiency. Caxap forever.

    It takes skill and talent to be awkward and still win. Most fighters don't have the natural talent to win and be awkward but some fighters do. Look at James Toney, he is a very awkward fighter in that it does not look like on the surface that he has ever had the physical advantage in any of his fights, but somehow through talent and brilliance alone he would win.
