You’re right about that. He waited for Manny to fade fade to a degree before he took the fight. Yes, I feel he was the greater fighter, but a few years earlier he wanted no part of Pacquiao.elmersalsa wrote: ↑10 May 2022, 20:22Floyd Mayweather, Jr beat every significant fighter of his time. The ONLY knock on him is that he should have fought the great Manny Pacquiao way much earlier than 2015.The Balletic Bomber wrote: ↑09 May 2022, 13:36elmersalsa wrote: ↑08 May 2022, 13:52

At last, my friend, your top 20. Floyd Mayweather over Ray Leonard? Floyd was great no doubt. I think Ray was a bit better. . But your list is good. It’s great that you have Walker and Canzoneri in there. I’m surprised that you don’t have Duran no. 1 given your admiration for his ability. Which is understandable. In his prime he was a powerful puncher and a very good defensive fighter as well. Keep posting!
We can't argue with PERFECTION.
