Will Floyd Mayweather become more well appreciated as time goes on?

But quite a few less title fights, especially in his 30's.

I definitely agree if you take the size disadvantage in consideration. No shame in losing to those guys, seeing how Duran started at a lower weight. But the losses to Benitez and, especially, Hearns were very one-sided.

Similar with the Leonard rematch. No shame in losing to a bigger fighter of Ray's calibre, but the way he did it was shameful. And losing to Laing is just plain embarrassing for someone looking at top 10 p4p.

I believe he would, but that's just speculation.

 

Duran was further from his prime when facing Barkley, and Pac was better p4p than Barkley but also a fair bit smaller. But, yeah, you can look at it from several angles.

 

C.mon man , you're better than yet .. I have already posted many of my "own opinions"

 

all of these excuses for Floyd. When he fought anyone there were always stipulations and timing to his fights.. To fight guys in off times.. It is very well understood how Floyd handpicked and I don't need talk to tell me Floyd was the one who didn't want the fight. Manny fought anyone at the right times.. Always.. He was not afraid.

 

I agree Barkley was not a Pacman, and Duran had a great chance to beat him and not beat many others, but Duran gets credit for beating Barkley..

 

He didn't fight Mosley, Morales, Margarito, Hatton, and others at the right time. Cotto was stipulated as hell. He tried to cherry pick Marquez and got his lights put out.

 

Absolutely. Fantastic win.

 

Brightest bulb, sharpest tool. But do carry on.

You do that.

^Load of garbage. Where you said one of what? What argument are you making? You're not making an argument, you're throwing words together ungrammatically and at random. I hope that your first language isn't English. If it is, perhaps you ought to head back to school.

Really? A historian? Wow, impressive. Enlighten us how many other DEBUT BOXERS went 10 rounds with an ATG (allegedly) with 49 fights under their belt. I'll wait.

Floyd got his ass kicked in those rounds and only little girls with a mancrush try to argue otherwise. I guess that PBF LIKES getting punched up, now?

In actual fact you're talking complete gibberish and the fact that you're getting all riled up proves that you seek validation for your own worthless existence between a pair of warm Mayweather testes. Your faculty of reason has been overwhelmed by the blooming flower of love that you experience whenever you see a video of Floyd. Or a picture. Or an oddly shaped pretzel that reminds you of him.

I didn't quite get the gist of that but I'm sure that you were wrong again.

I'm a huge, huge Floyd fan. In fact, I'm so ornery because I have finally met my match in Floyd worship in the form of yourself. I can't deal with the fact that you'd actually bend like a girl for Floyd whereas I wouldn't.

But, to recap, even I have to admit that, no, he is NOT "TBE"

 

Again, who has Canelo beaten? Plus, he got a few gifts here and there. Nobody thought he deserved a draw.Canelo is an HBO product, Barkley was a real fighter.

Hearns is an ATG P4P, he went on to beat the best light heavyweight in the world.

 

Title défenses against whom? It is the quality of opposition that counts, especially nowadays where there is an inflation sanctioning bodies.

 

Barkley would not go 2-0-1 against Trout, Lara, and GGG. Canelo received zero gifts.

Canelo most likely would lose to a 160 Hearns unless he gassed hard.

This is boxing. Deal with it.

 

Well, Duran never defended as undisputed champ either. He unified in his rubber against DeJesus, but then vacated and moved up to WW and never unified again.
