    It wasn't meant to have you in awe ... check out the technique that he uses ... its nothing like any boxer i've ever seen before ... and it takes a deeper look into his style ...

    For the record there was no argument ... this is an opinionated topic and doesn't grant an arguement ... this is all people's opinions on who they think the best boxer is of the last 20 years ... there was alot of boxer left out on that poll.

    My pick was Floyd and didn't need to be argued down ... that was dumb on your part for trying to argue when this thread isn't about one particular thing ... its a combonation of some things. Guys like you with your bias opinions come up with some bull**** and start arguing with guys about their opinions.

    I had this discussion with you before and I see that since then you haven't learned.

    This is about Opinions ... this isn't a fight prediction ...

    You argued me down about a mythical matchup that was never going to happen.

    What an idiot !! :yep

    I have seen the video before. Flyod seems to be a good guy that understands the sport. Unfortunately, Most people get caught up in the 'money mayweather' persona that fllyod puts out there. He's really not that guy. That is the front he decides to put on in public. When he was up and coming, he was really humble and then decided that didn't sell. therefore he came up with the 'prettyboy' and 'money mayweather'

    He was showing typical Philly Shell technique early on, then how to throw a lead right hand. What is so impressive or unique?

    There was an argument on your part, I could bring it all back up if you wish. You stated that Floyd ranks above RJJ and Pea because of how their careers ended, and I gave a counter argument which you couldn't respond to. This is a debate forum, so stop being such a ***** and try to defend your points, or else don't post them.

    You produce an argument, I produce a counter argument, that's how discussion forums go. It's dumb to argue on a forum made for arguing? Just because you can't back up your ludicrous claim doesn't mean you need to resort to this sensitive BS.

    Yes, because me and every other poster in that thread gave you reasons for our prediction, and your counter arguments were ones we'd already answered and you kept taking us around in circles because you couldn't admit that you were wrong, kind of like you're doing now. How old are you? 11? 12?

    Hang em up? Naw, he's only like 24 he's still got a few chances.

    Ft. Snelling? Hell no. That's like an hour hour half drive from where I live.

    What is the point of posting your opinion on a forum if you don't want to hear (read) other's opinions on it?

    Perhaps things can be argued or discussed in a more constructive manner (I have not called you any names or referred to you in a demeaning manner), but to say that it is wrong to produce a counter argument to one's opinion on this forum is wrong IMO.

    Floyd has never lost. I would have Sweet Pea 2nd.

    Holyfield dominated a weak division (oh yes, that includes Bowe) and dodged the real king of the division until late in his career.

    I am guessing I am more qualified to give an opinion than you are, but then again, these posts are all about opinions and they are like ass holes.....everyones got one and they all stink. :p

    That KO was pretty brutal. He still may have gas in the tank, but he has a up hill battle to get back credibility after his last outing.

    I am working out there now, just curious what the cities have to offer.

    Seems to me "never losing" is overvalued. Sure, win/loss records should be taken into account. Against whom, is also valued, perhaps even more so. It is certainly the case in every other sport.

    The 90's HW's were weak? It was better than the current division and the 80's HW division. Far stronger crop of contenders. And how exactly did Holyfield dodge Lewis?

    Sven Ottke has also never lost, I guess he ranks just behind Floyd for you.

    Agreed, what a weak division this is, just look at these pathetic scalps.

    Mike Tyson X2
    Riddick Bowe
    Ray Mercer
    George Foreman
    Michael Moorer
    Bert Cooper
    Buster Douglas
    Larry Holmes
    Michael Dokes
    Pinklon Thomas
    Hasim Rahman
    John Ruiz

    And the wins at Cruiserweight against the likes of Qawi X2 and De Leon were also weak.

    Obviously. I'm sure everyone would agree you've proven that.

    Yeah, but some people choose not to wipe.

    Sweet Pea ... why are you trying to bait me into an arguement?

    You think Sweet Pea is good ... I think Floyd is good ... there's nothing that either of us can say to each other to change ones mind.

    Its not about being a ***** ... why waste the time in a pointless arguement?
