Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Mayweather's Best Days Are Behind Him

[Det. Conan]

JMM wants no rematch with Floyd and has said he cant beat him , if he had a major problem after the Manny KO he would be screaming for a rematch but no , both him and his trainer dont want another embarrassing loss to Floyd , Much larger is in your dream that fight was pure boxing not a clinch in the fight it had nothing to do with weight or size how can it when there is no wrestling at all , you need to learn boxing kid you talk numbers but have no clue of the real meaning , Jmm weighed the same on fight night that he was KOing Manny .

If you ever tried this sport you will realize after 2 yrs out that your weight can change a little , Floyd thought he will make it and would not of known until right at the end and said fck it , he weighed in at 146 .

Radically type of fan boi..... lol

Malignaggi(
In his last bout I saw no major declines in his punch output or footwork. Floyd stills looks like Floyd. Floyd's problem though is he's looking predictable in the ring. Everyone from 147 to 154 is salivating at the next opportunity and studying him like notes for a bio-medical final or directions on how to crack a code. Floyd being it. What's the young dudes name......yeah, yeah, yeah, Keith Thurman. That kid would lay Floyd out...he is hungry. Vicious hungry.

I do also believe Floyd may be hiding a suspect chin. That crack Shane gave him years back had him out on his feet. What the hell Shane did after that we'll never know. If the Pacquaio fight comes off I expect it to be the action packed war Pacquaio will make it.

Malignaggi has some cajones talking about anyone slowing down. Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house Paulie. As for Mayweather, is he slowing down or has the competition gotten tougher is the question. The skill level and power of the current classes of fighters from 147-154 are just nasty-these guys-most have power and skill. We know the list.

You have to understand what these fighters accomplished and against who. "Sugar" Ray Robinson had one of the most decorated resumes in the history of boxing, constantly challenging himself against not only hall of famers but a deep group of competition, sometimes fighting on weeks rest. What would Floyd look like after 100+ fights with a resume like Ray Robinson? Leonard fought Benitez, Duran 3x, Hearns 2x, Hagler and won championships at 147,154,160,168,175 by the time he retired, nuff said. No these guys weren't as viable as Floyd at 37 or 38 but they already forged their legacy.

Agreed! 50 years from now, Robinson & Leonard's name will still be the same Robinson & Leonard as today... associated w/ greatness. Floyd's name wouldn't be remenbered as a great boxer after 50 years due to the level of his competition. He might be on line level of the name such as Calzaghe & perhaps, Malignaggi... lol

You read to many romantic novels , there are tapes of Robinson to see with your own eyes , Floyd would box his ears of if they both weighed the same , Floyd at 135 was near on unbeatable , show me a link to tape of Robinson where you can say that fight right there he would beat prime Floyd .

Nobody can fight 100s of fights today at top level because the competition is better , the money is so much higher the game is faster , the training is better , the athletes in all sports are faster and more powerful with all records broken , the game is more destructive today , you have never boxed you read storys of old greats of the past and off you go into dreamland , watch these old greats fight on tape they would have a hard time today where technique is so much better .

most people had castillo beating him. if castillo could do that i'm sure actual great fighters would have a damn good chance and floyd is not unbeatable.

well when you go from judah and baldomir to maidana and guerrero it is going to get a lil tougher but then again none of those guys were top fighters. imagine how tough it would get if he fought margarito, cotto, pac etc...that's just too much work!

Anybody can be beat injured , he did the right thing at won clearly in a rematch , you cant even give him credit where its due , your just a hater nothing more .

This is one of the ******er excuses I've heard for May coming in over weight. They had a catch weight because Marquez was jumping up two weight classes to fight May (in his weight class). And he couldn't come in at his own weight class.

I use to love Mayweather. But, he's become a total wimp mostly concerned with protecting his "0". Why must he always have the odds tilted in his favor before a fight; not making weight, selecting a fighters gloves, choosing the ref, he's even "retired" to fight top competition, etc. This is not a champ on the top of his game. He hasn't stopped anyone In years. He relies on boxing politics ("I'm the A side"), and "gamesmanship" that is basically skewing the fight to his favor as he runs for 12 rounds. I was a fan but his best days are behind him. He's a joke.

*and I've "tried the sport". I've been boxing all my life
