Why do people say Floyd never overcame adversity?

Hatton should have been given a fair fight a legitimate chance to win He wasn't. Neither was Pac on May 2 Not many of Mayweathers opponents have been

 

I'll level with you since you're not being an obnoxious idiot and actually commenting the way I wish many others would.

Where do I start...

• I am a fan of Floyd Mayweather, also a fan of Pacquiao but less so. I am NOT a Manny hater.
• I rooted for Pacquiao against Bradley I and was upset at the robbery. I didn't care who won Pac-Marq IV.
• If I say anything negative about Pacquiao it's either A) as a joke or B) to push some of these guys' buttons. I have no agenda against Pac and have made plenty of Floyd jokes too (which go unnoticed).
• Most of the time I am NOT talking **** about Pacquiao, I am only pointing out his fans' hypocrisy (I just pointed Floyd fans' hypocrisy in a GGG thread but I promise no one will notice).
• I only come to Floyd or Manny's defense if I disagree. I don't come to Pac's defense as much because, SURPRISE, less people make hate threads about him.
• Both extreme fans are idiots, but since the Pacquiao ones are more in numbers and more overbearing, I tend to argue with them more.
• I do not believe Mayweather "schooled" Pacquiao, but I do believe he handled him better than anyone else ever has. I had it 117-111.
• Mayweather cherry picks SOME, and so does Pacquiao.
• NONE of their catchweights are cool, ALL of their catchweights were used to gain an advantage.
• I do believe Floyd displays less courage and heart than Pacquiao.
• I do believe Pacquiao is greater than Floyd.
• I do believe Mayweather is better than Pacquiao.
• I have no issue with Pacquiao fans in general, just the insane ones.
• Pacquiao fans tend to be insane and emotional, Mayweather fans tend to have their heads up Floyd's ass.

If someone approaches me, respectfully, as you have just now. I'll gladly be real with you. I only troll the trolls. :good

Seriously, if you're cool about things, I'll gladly discuss what I do and don't like about either of them.

 

@tinman

This is why I don't like a lot of Manny's fans... excuses for EVERY SINGLE THING Floyd does. Scrutiny for EVERYTHING EVERY DAY it's just
tiring.

 

It would've been much more noble for Floyd to have lost wide to Castillo, then whined like a ***** while posting pictures of himself smiling on Instagram in a sling.

 

Your ***** ass can't give the man credit where credit is due. So that's why he won? It wasn't an even playing field. Really? Is that all you got? So his skills had nothing to do with it? I swear, you MFs are hilarious.

 

Far gone mentally

 

I identify as a massive pacquiao fan. I make no mystery of it.

 

I can understand this post. Makes sense.

 

Alex, I really liked your mention of greatness and talent. And the way that you separated them.

I'm a die hard Manny fan and I think that he's better than Floyd. But when Floyd guys disagree it doesn't really bother me too much. Floyd is an extremely talented and skilled fighter.

What bothers me to no end is when they say or imply that Mayweather is greater than Manny.

In my opinion what he did against prime versions of Ledwaba, Cotto, Morales, Barrera, Marquez, Bradley is greater than Floyd's career by a considerable margin.

When they say that Floyd had a greater career and resume and thus imply beat better prime fighters that bothers me. It's ignorant.

Saying that Floyd is better than Manny I can live with since that's pretty subjective and Floyd has talent.

 

I can't make a case for Mayweather being greater. I think they both have impressive resumes but Pacquiao's Barrera, Morales, and Marquez fights are nearly unbeatable. Plus Pac overcame greater odds than Floyd.

 

Your full of bull feces Alex youre a fully paid card carrying Flo Mo & everyone sees it. Youre busted !!!
OK name me one fight in the last 5 years Floyd had that wasn't heavily stacked in his favor?? C'mon Alex name just ONE!!!
Don't be a coward like Floyd Man up:rofl

 

Running & holding aren't boxing skills. When his own father calls him a coward for the way he's running You say that's SKILL!!!!!

 

Actually Alex I'm not really a Pac fan I'm not a Floyd hater
I'm a life long boxing nut who still believes that every fight should be a fair fight with the legitimate best man on the night getting the deserved win
Youre problem is you don't like anyone criticizing Mayweather everyone has noticed Alex You try but you cannot hide the facts

 

Floyd didn't overcome adversity - he ducked it.

Paul Williams and Antonio Margarito are still waiting for Floyd to fight them.
