Who y'all think would win between a prime Sweet Pea and Mayweather???
Floyd ud or sd refs robbed pea a lot Floyd is a tad bit better offensively and is bigger -
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).
-
Lol at top 5 defensively.

Give the man his props -

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 I think I was the only one in the world not entertained by that Martinez-Salido fight
And Badou Jack need to work on his left hand
martinez salido has been terrible for every second they've fought -
Floyd should be top 5 on everybody s list period....one of the simple reason is aint no fighter out there that cant tell Floyd " i whooped ur ass tho" lol .... But naw i dont historically theres 5boxers better than him P 4 P

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 -
Lol at top 5 defensively.
? is top 5 period.
Give the man his props

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 -
Nobody got a yourube or bit torrent of this fight yet. I watched it in ? quality

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.
-
Yea man Floyd the best ever to ever do it...
-
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......

The Curious Case of Floyd Mayweather
1) Canelo was too young for Floyd but not for cotto.
2) Cotto was too old for Floyd at 32 but not to old for Canelo at 34.
3) Floyd ducked Margarito who got ko'd by Mosley
4) Mosley was good when beating Margarito but too old the very next fight vs Floyd
5) Marquez was too small for Floyd but koed Manny.
6) Floyd dodged Manny until Manny got old when Floyd is 2 years older because Floyd never gets old.
7) Floyd cherry picked and beat an old Oscar while Manny didn't cherry pick an older and weight drained Oscar.
8) Oscar a cherry pick at 34, Cotto is a great fighter at 34 and Floyd is not washed up at 38.
9) zab was not a great opponent
10) Baldomir beat Zab but Floyd cherry picked him
11) Maidana gave Floyd a good first fight but Floyd cherry picked the rematch
12) Diego was a good victory but that was a long time ago.
13) yeah Floyd koed an undefeated Hatton but manny did it quicker because hatton wasn't a shot fighter by then.
14) Sweat Pea and Ali had great defense but Floyd is a runner.
15) Floyd called out Tzu after 3 straight fights but was ducking him.
16) Gatti wasn't a good fighter
17) Floyd was 152 against a 165 Canelo but Floyd had the weight advantage due to the 152 catch weight that Canelo asked for.
18) Floyd fought 23 world champions and they all weren't good
19) Floyd isn't challenging himself at 38 yrs old because he's fighting Berto but his last fight was Manny.
20) Floyd is a different 38 because he has the skill to not take much damage...and that's not a great achievement.
21) Floyd Mayweather used vitamins! That's why Manny lost.
STOP HATING -
even tho i hate that ? , floyd top 5 dead or alive only reason i hate cause i always leave a mayweather fight feeling like he could've done more son like the 04 pistons supreme defense with just enough offense to win ? him doe i wish i could fight him myself dont even need a ring b ill fight that ? in my backyard but hopefully these young cats start fighting each other instead of chasing money
-
oscar v manny was a cherry pick gone wrong do your homework youngn
marquez first fight at 147 last fight before that was at 135 and floyd came in overweight n payed the fine
canelo wasnt too young as he was still kinda green ? just finish getting a struggle win vs trout
aint read the rest -
I see the gifs posted, I see the post fight conference, and yeah, I already miss the fact that this dude is RETIRED!!
? , I might even go watch a few re-runs of fights on youtube lol
Highlights and ? .
Man. AT 38 dude was moving great. Even some of his sloppier moments were magical to watch compared to hsi opponents over the years lol -
I'm sorry but I'm sitting here thinking about it and Floyd really is amazing
People want a ? who Fight at 147 to fight the best MW since Bernard Hopkins because he the best chance MW and below to beat him
-
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....
