Why are people reluctant to speak the truth about FLOYD?

PBF may very well be the best and most skilled pure boxer of his own generation. However, his claims of being the best ever are simply ludicrous, and his zero means damn-didley-****. If Floyd had fought in the 70's and 80's, considering the divisions he competed in, over the years he would have had to contend with Arguello at 130, Duran at 135, Pryor at 140, and Benitez, Leonard, and Hearns at 147. There is no way in hell he would come through that unscathed.

So there are real questions about his actual status as an ATG. Could Floyd have put in 15 hard rounds with Arguello X 2 at 130? I say X 2 because I am certain one fight would not settle things between these two at 130. Next up, Duran at 135, and PBF is gettin' a beatin' in this one. After brutal fights with Arguello and Duran, could he move up and beat a prime Pryor? No way would he have enough left at this point to take on SRL and Hearns.

Floyd is an all time great, and no one should even question that. However, he is also seriously over rated by many of his fans.

If you look around, PBF is hated by many, he's underrated. Now Pavlik, thats what you call overrated.

Kinda like you do in every PBF thread and bash him.

**** all of you haters mad because your favorite fighter today especailly guys like Margo can't even be mentioned in the same breathe as PBF. Face it they will never be as great as PBF and you ****s know it and it makes you sick. **** you all and that fake ass mother****er 5 loss limited Tijuana Windmill Margo. You have the nerve to call someone like PBF fake but Margo can't even go up in class one weight and win a belt. :roflInstead he feasts his limited ass on smaller fighters and gets his ****ing ass kicked when he faces anyone bigger than him like Santos or Williams.

You ****s better pray to God that ***** Margo continues to duck his daddy Williams becasue if he ever fights him again he'll get the beating of a lifetime and you ****s will never hear the end of it from me. The hate and jealously you guys have is pathetic, shitting on a proven talent like PBF. Too bad ****s like you don't matter in his legacy. PBF already got his accolades from the boxing world Ring Fighter of the Year 1998 and 2007 and unlike you bitter ****s they give props when their due and their the only ones that matter anyways. It's not like anyone of you will be voting for him when he makes it into the HOF. So keep up the hate it still won't change history that PBF beat all of your favorite fighters most of them with ease talked **** while doing so, came in the ring with Oscar wearing a sombrero and May 5th 2007 will always be known as Cinco De Mayweather.:yep:deal Did things his way retired on top and never gave you pathetic ****s the chance to see him humbled in the ring and it drives you crazy to make thread after thread bout him as if it's beating him or something when none of your hereos could do it in the ring and I love it.:hi:

You can say all of that but this is what i don't get from his detractors or "haters" you can say that in the 70's and 80's he would've been competive with the all time greats of those times...those were some of the all time greats and they came up in very competive times where the next fighter was considered the man...but because Floyd Mayweather hasn't lost a fight people want him to continue fighting.

So what happens if he beats Margo you'll say he just beat another slow flat footed mexican fighter who had to chase him around the ring all night...with Floyd Mayweather fans its more of common sense...we say nobody can beat him because everyone who is available for him to fight he's already beaten in some form throughout his career and no one and I mean no one has shown anything that says they can beat him.

Clottey/Berto=Mayweather wannabe's ask Clottey how he beat Zab and Berto just doesn't have the foot movement nor is his defense as polished.

Margarito=To slow...takes to much punishment and doesn't hold a candle to a prime Castillo at least he had a defense.

Mosely=Might be able to play chess for about 4 rounds with Floyd after that he can't keep up with the pace of a younger man.

Paul Williams=Not smart enough in the ring for Floyd leaves to many open spots to easy to get to his body. Floyd is not a stupid fighter he'd fustrate Paul by clinching and getting on the inside.

Miguel Cotto=He'd be outsmarted,outboxed,and outworked over 12 rounds and embarassed. All Floyd has to do against Miguel is be Floyd.

None of these cats equal up to any of the legends mention that you said Floyd would lose to so what makes you think he'd lose to these chumps???

I for one understand why he fights for the money and will fight the fighter with the bigger name...cause then we he wins a boring UD or just shuts the opponent down at least they have paid him for wasting his time...

Find another legend to beat him!!!!!

Calm down son. I said Floyd is an ATG, and no one should try to deny that! It's merely foolish claims he and his fans make about him being better than guys like Hearns, SRL, SRR, et, that I dispute.

As for todays WW, I pretty much agree with your assesment. Styles make fights, and I'd give Cotto a better chance than anyone, but I sure as hell wouldn't put any money on it.

He didn't have to. He never said he wanted to fight the winner. I'm sure he was somewhere in Vegas betting on that fight, but he never said he wanted to fight the winner, and AM never called him out anyways. AM even said he was looking forward to facing DLH.

Yes he ducked almost the entire welterweight division, but he also made a killing vs Oscar and Hatton.

If he would have fought Margarito instead of Baldomir, who "beat" Judah, there is a much much great possiblity that Floyd would have had a much rougher time, may even lose, and that history could have been altered.

We have to remember that Floyd is a businessman first and a boxer second, despite his comments saying that he's better than SRR, and actually publically disrespecting old man SRL. And while on the playground or in the pen, Floyd would have to prove that he was the best by fighting the most dangerous contenders, this is the business world. Floyd doesn't have to prove anything to anybody because like many wealthy members in society, he is protected by the system set up to make it possible for people to get away with such things.

And I know there is 30 minutes of documented evidence of Floyd ducking Margarito, and while that's arguably the largest amount of evidence ever compiled of a fighter ducking an opponent, it doesn't mean that Floyd was scared.

As I stated before, he's a business man, and he's been making smart business decisions. I just don't understand why some of his fanatics don't admit this to themselves, and as boxing FANS, at least wish that he would have shared his tallent with some of the better fighters in the welterweight division.

You're just another pro AM alt with 99 posta and a bottle of beer on the wall lol. You don't know what the word or boxing definition of the word "duck" means so look the word up. Top of the line fighters don't duck each other. Only fanatics like you thinks so when it concerns the fighter you like.

Everybody would drop everything to face Oscar now. So Floyd went for the money just like Oscar does and he gets critized for it. Man what a double standard, Floyd isa great fighter an ATG. Before he stepped up in weight. He beat Oscar and he beat Hatton before oscar was totally washed and when Hatton was undefeated. Any one who does after like Manny did Oscar is reaping Floyd's rewards.

SRR boxed for the money first, and the sport a very distant second, if even that.

not that PBF can carry his jockstrap...
