Why in the world are people disrespecting the past greats? What you are doing is blatant disrespect when you put Floyd Mayweather, and guys like the Klitschko's up on this untouchable platform. Let me tell you something, Floyd, Manny, Wladimir, and Vitali have not proven themselves to the extent that the great legends proved themselves. They cherry pick fights, and of course they will look dominant when fighting the right opponent. Case in point, my favorite boxer of all time, Mike Tyson, did he look dominant or what against the right competition?! What happened when he had to face someone who came forward and fought back? He failed that type of test. Wladimir wont fight the best heavyweight in his division, Vitali, and Vitali wont fight the best heavyweight in his division, Wladimir. So they aren't passing the ultimate test of their own era, because they refuse to take the test. Floyd wont fight Manny, and Manny wont fight Floyd. So they aren't passing the ultimate test of their own era, because they refuse to take the test. It's one thing to look dominant against cherry picked opponents ripe for the picking. It's another thing to win wars in the ring, like the legends of the past did. That's called showing your "skill" and "ability" under the most extreme circumstances which today's superstars can't say they have done. These guys are great fighters today, and boxing is well and good. With that being said, show me, don't tell me. So stop the comparisons.
Of all the top guys out there, Manny is the only guy who would pass the "test" you're talking about - albeit, not anywhere above 140. The other guys aren't built for it. V Klit because he's prone to injuries, W Klit because he would get caught again eventually, and Floyd for way too many reasons. Manny's camp is filled with money-hungry cocksuckers who don't care about the public or the wellbeing of the sport and that's why he doesn't take all the fights he should.
about as cliche a statement you can make is that tyson lost to people who came forward and fought back. so the first 38 guys went in reverse? maybe the 100 million dollars and his personal life had more to dowith him losing that your logic. he lost his hunger because of the amount of money he has made and 9 or 10 title fights by the time he was ...all of 23 years old. also, manny has done everything he can to try and fight floyd. obvious who doesnt want to fight
