    arum is cursing him until the day he dies.. 2 of the sports greatest woke up and realised they aient going to take his bull**** anymore and got out (Oscar and Floyd)

    and they both made TONS of cash from there on.

    Didn't Arum say Ali was a one handed fighter?

    I thought he called Floyd the best fighter ever.

    You're half-right. He said Floyd was the best since Ali and then later that Pac was better. It was then he said Ali was a "one-handed" fighter.

    The funny thing is, I read the headline and was ready to ridicule him by saying Ali actually had an excellent right-hand but I actually underestimated Bob's stupidity ... he said Ali was all RIGHT-hand! I guess having one of the best jabs and left-hooks in Heavyweight history doesn't cut it for Arum.

    Nothings changed really. What Arum probably meant was that Floyd was the most naturally gifted boxer since Ali. I'd agree with Arum on that BUT God Given talent alone does not make a great fighter. Really Mayweather has wasted his talents, Just think if he'd grown a set & fought the guys he should have fought like Paquaio Margaarito etc when he SHOULD have fought them he may well have beaten them. Instead he cherry picked his opponents, acted like a streetpunk, got jailed for beating on his G/F. One of several he assaulted apparently. If he hadn't been so immature &repulsive he may now be regarded as a true ATG alongside Ali & Robinson. As it is all he is now is a Wannabe, could have been punk that didn't fully use the incredible talents God gave him

    I do not think there is one boxing fan who does not believe that Floyd is the best naturally talented boxer since Ali Arum was right for once. BUT talent alone does not make an ATG. Floyd has the skills of a champion but the balls on a gnat, End of story.
    Plus do you know who's fault it is for Floyd ducking every legitimate challenge??? You people that buy his bull**** facades of fights, like the light sparring session against Guerrero etc. Why should he take risks against the best when fools will pay to watch him rip them off.
