    I'm checking boxrec and I can't see any L on Mayweather's record. Is it me or am I missing something?
    You know what, let me check wikipedia. I will get back at you

    No proof he was loaded up in that fight so I count it as a legit win. Margarito landed a ton of punches down the stretch while Cotto began to fade from trying to keep a maniac off him, wasn't just some crusty wraps.
    Yeah pretty much man, insert whatever name on Froch's record. :deal

    I don't know if Pavlik beating Taylor makes the list? Was Taylor that much better in terms of skill?

    You can't simply eliminate 'lateral movement' out of the boxing skillset to make your point. That's silly. The ability to turn and control an opponent's ability to attack and still being able to score your own shots all the while on the move IS a boxing skill.

    What you just described, some imaginary phone booth fight in center of the ring, isn't 'boxing' either, just some improbable fantasy scenario.

    Just like the 'Marquez-'skills'-beats-Mayweather-'skills'-except-Mayweather-was-bigger-stronger-and-faster' argument you've made before, you have this really insane habit of eliminating every consideration that goes counter to whatever point you want to make.

    Come on, bruh.
