    i gotta give mayweather credit... he is a top 5 greatest defensive fighter of all time ... he was his own best promoter... he gave opportunities for certain fighters to make a nice check i hope the next great star has the same buisness approach that floyd did... he didn't let them shady promoters ? him like they did so many others. i believe he will fight one more time but i'm leanin towards him givin a younger fighter a chance(garcia or thurman possibly).

    Top 5? ? he is easily the greatest defensive fighter of all time, and like @PimpMVP above me said, top 5 period, which means he could very well be TBE. The ? is unfuckwithable... period. I've seen many fighters from many different eras... none of them have consistently displayed the entire package that Floyd has over his career. #TMT #TBE

    floyd is a top 5 defensive fighter and counter puncher.
    best part about boxing is there are different styles and criteria for judging fighters
    people get so absorbed into this p4p and all time ranking thing they forget what the lists are for.
    its all what if and speculation, in other words its not real or measurable because its based on opinions not facts.
    floyd cleaned up most of the top dogs in his era. some were left off or skipped but everyone does that ? lol
    i'll respect what he did in the sport. i wasn't entertained by most of it (before anyones panties get ruffled, i feel he could have stepped on the gas and gatti'd a few more guys)
    but its over lol be glad you got to see it for future what ifs your kids will hit you with.
    now on to who got next.

    lol thats not how opinions work lol
    i can see him being left off a few lists due to something that was no fault of his own (weak competition)

    and that "i whooped ur ass" thing goes bother ways lol theres maybe 5-10 guys tops on floyds resume that he can actually say he whooped their ass

    49-0 says otherwise ....outta those 49, it aint really one that can say i put them things on you...the whole weak competition is relative and a trash argument....ask Tyson or Ali bout so called weak competition

    Floyd discipline alone sets him apart from the pack...
    Leonard was one of the best to ever do it, but even he had moments where his discipline was tested...

    Look at the zab fight where Floyd was fouled twice, and a brawl took place... Floyd in the corner calm as ? ...

    The Ortiz fight where everyone was mad about the "sucker punch" that ? was just extreme focus. The second he heard the words fight, her fought...

    When Shane buckles him, he was disciplined as hell, never over reacted. Never panicked.
    The Augustus fight.. ? as hell, he never really figured dude out yet he stayed composed,

    Gatti & Chico... known brawlers who he obliterate . But if you watch it, it was a slow systematic break down.. Never jumped them, never braised brawled with them... Just picked his spots and destroyed them...

    Almost every great in the ring gets off on adrenaline and has moments where they lose it and try to take a head off..... Never Floyd..

    Even in knock outs.. He's calm, composed, accurate
    . dude is tbe

    You think they are better fighters than Money? I say he beats all of them. ? you thought Pacquiao was going to beat Floyd so idk how serious I can take your opinion lol

    No doubt a few of them give Floyd a tough fight, but I can see him beating all of them. None of them have been in with a defensive genius like Floyd, ever. And ? seem to forget, the more aggressive you are, the more Floyd thrives off that ? . ? going to be swinging at air all night. I can see Floyd possibly losing to 1 of those names, but my money... is on money.

    lol @ the fight last night. "Fight" if that's what you wanna call it. Floyd was doing what he do. I wouldn't doubt, he picked Berto just to give him some fame......



    Good to see Sweat Pea Pernell get mentioned in here too. Anyone know how he been since the issue w/ his mom's and families house out there in VA??



    Just seen my dude out and about in this recent pic too. He was one of the greats, gave Floyd his props and said he deserves every penny......

    Yea ? are hilarious with the floyd hate, the fact that his two most contested victory's he immediately scheduled a rematch shows how much of a perfectionist dude is....
