Is Floyd Mayweather really The Best Ever (TBE)?

[warriorpoet]

He's one of the best businessman of all time.He's an excellent fighter but his level of competition is not great,he does cherry pick his opponents.The best ones ever took on all comers!

Which so called best took on all comers? SRL didn't fight The Hawk, Roy Jones didn't fight Darius....I could go on and on but I guess because Floyd didn't get to fight Pac that means he cherry picked.

lol, boxing fans today are totally out of touch.

Oh my god you talk some crap. Anyones opinons are speculation, but yours are cast iron facts.

You remember shane throwing lots of punches in the Floyd fight?...do you also remember when you dated Jennifer lopez?....since both things are fantasy of course! - seriously did you even check the compubox numbers for that fight? mosley threw 46 'power punches' against Floyd, and threw '194' against tono......almost 5 times as many POWER (the type you get fatigued on) shots.

speculation?....you are brain dead

I didn't bother reading anything else on your post, due to the fact you are obviously stupid

one last thing, Floyd already has a hypeman/gay partner in 'k9' ellebere.....so as hard as you might try to defend the cherry picking, dodging, potshoter....hes already got it covered

Sugar Ray Robinson,Marvin Hagler,Joe Louis,Muhammad Ali,Roberto Duran,Ruben Olivares,Alexis Arguello.All of these fighters fought alot of the top fighters in their era and divisions.Whoever was the top contenders.

to reply to brut, im not saying floyd avoided pac per say, but he didnt make it happen, which is even now the most interesting and legacy boosting fight. whereas leonard fought hearns, duran, hagler, etc. so to claim to be tbe you have to take the biggest scalps!

So let me get this straight, the onus was all upon Floyd to make the fight when he did the following:

Agreed to all of Rerun's demands

And Rerun did the following:
Said he was afraid of needles
Said having blood drawn weakens him
Said he needed a stadium big enough to hold 40k people
Said he couldn't fight in May because there was no magic
Said no to 40 million dollars
And now just re-up'd with MOB Arum/Top Rape

And all of this is because Floyd didn't try to make the fight.

Ok

This is the part I don't understand.. Pacquiao picked ring size, gloves size (8 oz. gloves) and 1 million dollar penalty for every pound over 147 at weigh ins. They were also going to split the revenue 50/50.. Floyd signed, yes "SIGNED" his side of the contract and added the "RANDOM" blood and urine testing to the contract which Pacquiao did not sign (Floyds only stipulation that Pacquiao now asks all of his opponents to adhere to).

With those facts out on the table, that was the first and only real negotiations that involved both parties where both fighters had the same contract in which Floyd signed and Pacquiao balked at the testing and said no. So I guess the guy who signed his end of the contract is the one to blame for the fight not happening and the media hyped Filipino and the peoples champions gets a free pass for screwing all of us out of a fight that could have happened when everyone wanted to see it. Damn shame that so many people are blinded by personal feelings and continue to live their lives spreading lies and believing lies.

I've been doing and viewing this sport for over 40 years and I've never seen any so called "boxing fans" like these Rerun fans, they are the most obnoxious, biased, gullible (for believing MOB Arum's lies) and totally unwavering (in the face of facts) that I've ever seen.

Even with all these facts there will be another thread or quote that someone will make saying how Floyd is ducking Rerun and the idiotic and simpleton minded Rerun fans will simply follow suit like the Pied Piper (Mob Arum) has them marching to his tune of lies.

Now we have a guaranteed duck from Rerun as he recently signed his new Slave Contract thus ensuring that he never has to run into Mayweather's fist the way JMM made him do the same.

Somehow it's Floyd's fault that Rerun refused to sign that contract though in the eyes of his fans.

How about you both shut the fvck up? Is that a good enough compromise to end the bad puns and angry: "I win the internet because..." posts?

Good one Bobby

Man is stalking me everywhere

You made such an impression; I've not been called 'one chromosome away from downs syndrome' before - well done; you're a talented and imaginative fellow

[Cap]

...the best ever what? Fry cook? Hokey-pokey dancer? Forklift driver? Who is this Floyd Mainwether of whom you speaky?

[Rodian]

one could make a better case of Wladimir Klitschko being the best ever heavyweight better than Floyd the Duck being TBE

what a loser, scared of Pacquiao and has very little respect outside of his cronies

[davie]

I responded (no, obviously) just to see the result so I knew how many Floyd nut huggers we have on here.

It would appear the answer so far is 8!

[MachoTime]

It's 7. Actually. I won't say why but it's not to hard to figure out.

[davie]

inexperienced Hopkins? man was sitting on 20 something fights.....and was about 28 years old (physical peak d!ckhead)....poor toney only had 4 weeks?....isn't that what a regular training camp was, expecially at that time!...duran prepared for leonard 1 on 4 weeks!

now to the list of extensive Floyd opponents you mentioned; im going to go through this slowly floymo :)

DLH - split decision and was old n past it (need proof, flash forward less than a year, and he gets destroyed and stopped by an ex featherweight)

Mosley - well the 23 year old super strong super quick undefeated shane mosley, I cant quite find a flaw with.....oh hold up Floyd beat the 40 year old washed up non juicing one....say no more

corrales you say..this is why you shouldn't boxrec lol....chico was serving assault and battery charges, and had 2 or so weeks to prepare, his training camp was also cut short. Add into the fact that he struggled to make the weight, and fought poorly, and you get the picture. And honestly diego is my favourite fighter of all time, I really loved him....but don't insult anyones intelligence ...he was a world class fighter nothing more.....theres a hundreds of fighters that would have beaten him...literally

gatti...lots of respect for, but comeon now he was never a great fighter....and how much wear and tear did he have

canelo - he fought him at a catchweight....same way I would whoop on david haye (im 150lbs), if he came down to 147 :) )

hernadez - decent world champ nothing more

Hatton - a ticket seller, and on the elite world scene, a super easy payday for anyone ( see pacquiao fighting the 'undefeated at 140' hatton, in pac's first fight at 140

Hope you got that...keep going though 'brut', in 5 or maybe 10 years, with hardwork (and dedication)....I know you love that phrase.....you may post a comment I, and many other true knowledgable fans will go 'not bad' too :)

You were going so well there until that one. Great post otherwise

But lets be honest, Canelo was one of floyds best wins, certainly his best in the last 5 years and Canelo had to come down 2lbs. Hardly Haye fighting at welter is it!
Canelo lost so convincingly because he fought the wrong fight. Floyd can't take the blame for that
