Floyd Mayweather has never beaten an elite fighter in his prime

[boxinghead530]

ok, so tell Freedom the TS this same thing -all the guys calling floyd out to fight were doing it just to get noticed so floyd really didn't have to fight them.

Well heres the difference in Floyd calling out Oscar and Shane. Floyd was a Jr. lightweight and those dudes were welterweight. So the fight wasn't feasible. Calling them out was Floyds way of getting attention(because he was a nobody back then) by piggbacking the bigger names.

Now with the guys calling out Floyd these days its from guys that don't have a big name and are trying to get to that next level, but the big difference is THEY ARE IN OR VERY CLOSE TO HIS WEIGHCLASS. Maybe not GGG but in reality FLoyd is the 154lbs champ and he is the 160lbs champ so the difference isn't much.

Mayweather targets fighters from smaller weight divisions, well past their best, coming off losses, and/or boxers who have been stopped in the past.

Why aren't you blasting GGG for targeting fighters from smaller weight divisions? Why aren't you blasting Manny for targeting fighters from smaller weight divisions? Why aren't you blasting Wlad for fighting guys mostly way smaller than himself and coming from smaller weight divisions?

Why aren't you blasting GGG for fighting guys well past their best? Why aren't you blasting Manny for targeting fighters well past their best? Why aren't you blasting Wlad for fighting guys well past their best?

Why aren't you blasting GGG for fighting guys coming off losses and/or boxers who've been stopped in the past?

Why do you hold Floyd to such a higher standard than anyone else? He's calls himself TBE doe...

The why didn't ODH or SHane make the fight when they were clearly the bigger names?

What is it about floyd that makes men who fight others at a drop of a dime not fight him?

Because they didnt care about him, he was small, no one knew him, they would get no credit for beating him, they had bigger fiash to fry and most importantly, he was talking out of his ass. If floyd had been serious about fighting them, then he campaigns at welter/super welter and forces the fight.

Oscar has been campaigning at 154 and up since 2002, Floyd had his first 140 fight in 2004......you would know this if you weren't biased as fu.ck.


Shane Mosley was thought to be done when his only win in 3 years had been a gift decision over Oscar. He revived his career by beating a shot Vargas at 154, at this point is when the infamous tooth ache thing happened. If you think that's a prime Shane I'll just laugh.

Shane has legitimately beat 2 contenders since 2002, Collazo and Margarito.

oh, the fights weren't feasible. convenient excuse.

Castillo was an elite fighter at 135

Corrales was elite at 130

Hatton was elite

Judah was elite

Cotto was elite

Canelo is elite

No, he avoided them.

So floyd "wasn't serious" yet paid (borrowed) $750k (from James Prince) to get out of his TR contract to get to ODH and Shane. Is that a move by someone not "serious"?

How is asking a question being biased?

I agree that Shane left alot in the ring when Vernon hit him with the uppercut but he wasn't done by any means. My point remains that Shane controlled fighting floyd earlier than he did. The toothache shouldn't have prevented the fight from happening.

got eeeeeeeeeem!!!! They werent following boxing before 2010

Freedom knows this, as do most of the posters. Its floyd so they act like its something else in part to troll and in part because they hate that he's seen by boxing media and historians as better than their favorite.

Is what it is.

I'LL FED EX THEM SOME MORE SALT WATER
