    I don't buy the one armed thing. He was still paid and he raised his hands after the fight.

    he waited too long. His fight against Manny is not significant. Manny was knocked out by JMM and beaten by Bradley. Then Floyd fought him. He had the chance to fight him in 2009 and 2010 and didn't. Why not?

    Pacquiao has no argument over Floyd Mayweather jr. Floyd is the better.. More complete fighter. Had a better career. What's the argument?

    Oscar fought everyone when he had to and didn't handpick.. Very different fighters. Floyd fought to avoid a loss because he knew he never had a great fight. He didn't want a great fight because that meant he had to get in a brawl and risk an exciting fight..

    Yes they care about it and still talk about it to this day.
    PBF started at 130 has moved up all the way to 154. PBF was the much smaller man and the fight before Canelo weighed 153 1 pound lower isn't a big deal. BTW didn't Pac fight at a catchweight as well? So if your're going to bash PBF for doing it hold your God Pac to the same standard.

    these guys don't know much boxing history. They just repeat what they think they should say.

    It's not, it's clear publications websites and Pac's own trainer said so. It's bitter haters who can't get over May 2nd 2015 who only think otherwise.

    he needed those 2 pounds? That is a mental advantage ,and handpicking guys for years and waiting to fight Pacman.. Pac fought everyone from 130 to 154.. Floyd did not.

    Boxing is about styles different boxers have different styles. What's so hard to understand about that casual? What's ironic is that your username is PernellSweetpea, a slick defensive counter puncher yet you're here bashing PBF's style. What kind of sense does that make.

    Would have, could have, should have .... but did not!

    I'm not a hater, I give Mayweather credit where it is due, he was a good boxer, but no more than that. However, there was a lot of smoke and mirrors with Floyd and his career is open to significant criticism.

    I'm not bitter or mad about the Pacquiao fight, either. It was a farce, I couldn't care less about it.

    Personally my biggest issue with Mayweather were the dreadful, boring fights he put on. Everyone apart from the pervert fanboys such as yourself agrees that he was one of the most boring boxers in the history of the sport. He never came close to giving us a fight of the year or even a round of the year.

    No one except the corrupt money makers miss him at all, certainly not real boxing fans.

    Don't know boxing history but the ESPN list and the Ring List were made up of a panel of many people. Not just one person made these lists.:deal: Also how do you explain Roach? Does he not know anything either?

    I've already proved your crazy and bitter ass wrong in this thread by producing video evidence to counter your flat out lie. Now unless you can do the same and stop stating your biased opinion as fact then log off.

    Boring is subjective skills aren't always remember that.:deal:
    If PBF was just only a good boxer then why couldn't guys like Hernandez, Chico JLC Hatton Zab Oscar Cotto JMM Canelo Mosley and Pac couldn't beat just a good boxer? What does that say about them? Or maybe you think you know more than people like Roach

    He seems to think he's a great boxer and so do dozens of his peers. I guess the panel of writers who voted PBF 12th on that list and 1st on the other don't think he's a great fighter either? But what do I know? What do they know? You're clearly the authority on everything boxing and know more than everyone else your opinion will live in history books around the world forever.
