[HeGotPacProblem]

and i'll show you a list of great fighters they beat. can't do that with floyd's resume.

Exactly and the all time greats he fought were past their prime.

Kinda hard to deny what Mayweather's done at this point. Also no question that he is very very close to the end.

Then he should retire. Take Pacquiao with him. Let the sport move on.

Only two more fights (supposedly). Like Pacquiao, fans can only pray that they take on good fights for as long as they're still around. I'm in no rush to see either two go because I'm hoping someone makes them leave. That's how it should be in boxing: the baton getting passed on in the ring.

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 .

You have non idea what you're saying. Do your homework clown. Floyd was much larger than Marquez on fight night to insure he was bigger and stronger. Period. Floyd gave up my on purpose missing weight. That doesn't mean Marquez didn't weigh the same for Pacquiao 4, it just means Floyd was bigger in their fight. No matter what Marquez weight was for the 4th Pac fight, everyone at ringside said the distribution of Marquez weight was noticeably different than any other fight or opponent. He was broke out in acne as he was for Alvarado. No drug testing in place for either fight, he was juiced up. Just knocked down in the 5th, face bloodied, out of gas, behind on all score cards, he landed one Hail Mary to get himself out if the fight with his life. Marquez would have been stopped himself in the next two or three rounds.

Nobody said Marquez wanted a rematch with Floyd and Floyd wouldn't give one anyway. Marquez begged Bradley for a rematch for another shot at the '47 belt he says he has to have, and when Bradley declined for a bigger payday with Manny and lost, now that belt is not so important. He wants no part of Pac to prove the 4th fight wasn't a fluke, which it was. Shawn Porter called out Marquez for his '47 belt and heard crickets from Marquez. Even Provo called out Marquez at 140 or 147 and Marquez declined either and chose Alvarado of all people who Provo just train wrecked. In the meantime, both Floyd and Marquez are tip toeing around trying to find the safest routes to a belt and a payday.

Paulie....hey ****** ass, by the time those guys were mayweathers age they had fought wars with many other greats. Floyd only has the chance to fight one great and he ducked the challenge. Of course he got more mileage.

Do you have the fight night weights?

[PAC-BOY]

Floyd will alwas be remembered as the Coward who wouldnt fight Manny Pacquiao. Id say his best days were gone long ago. when he retired because the sport was getting to tough for him!
Coward!!!

And in other news, water is wet.

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 .

Reading this reply and your comments throughout this threads show that you have at least 9,800 unintelligible comments on this site. One thing you should understand when you talk out of your a$$ like you seem to have a history of, you are making subjective, bias opinions. Sounds like you've stolen a paragraph out of football and tried to spin it to boxing. If the competition is better, training better, faster game, faster and more powerful athletes than are you implying that Heavyweight, or Middleweight, or Welterweight is the best that it's ever been? Technique is better today, the game is more destructive today? Again, more opinions coming out of your a$$.

Let's talk about facts and history, Ray Robinson fought in an era with 15 rounds, 8 weight classes and more competition, those are facts. Boxing was not a niche sport in the 40's, 50's, 60's. Along with baseball it was the premier sport, how could the premier sport have less competition during its absolute peak than it has now, as a niche sport in our lifetime? To discredit a legend, with an impeccable record (history not opinion), who has won more career accolades as one of the greatest to ever lace them up (history not bias), all because you have a favorite fighter is irresponsible as someone who claims to know a thing or 2 about boxing.

Couple other shots before I go, 1) Floyd was more accomplished at 130 vs 135. At 135 he only had four fights, one arguably being a loss to Castillo so that kind of disputes your theory of "Money" at 135. 2) What led you to believe I've never boxed and why would that make what I say less credible if I hadn't. I'm sure there are plenty of great points on this site which I'm sure has a majority of boxing fans over former boxers. I actually take pride with my personal life and don't need to share it on a boxing thread or make fake personas about myself over the internet. 3) Just wanted to point out that you said technique was better today. 4) What do you have against romantic novels.
