Comments Thread For: Mancini: If Mayweather Beats GGG, Top 10 of All-Time

[Championart]

The only way floyd gets any credit is if he finally loses a fight and then the only credit that he'll get is discredit. The hating will never stop on the guy.

Will never be top 10. MANY MORE MUCH BETTER.

Floyd is average when it come to the likes of sugar ray, hagler, hearns, aaron pryor and if you young ignorant fans took the time out to watch "sweet pee" Pernell Whitaker, the greatest defensive fighter that ever lived, you all would agree that those fighters in their primes where the real deal. Not one of those fighters beleived in taking the easiest fight for the biggest money. They new it was about legacy, not how many jackass fans I can bull**** to buying tickets with these "Young and the Restless" tactics. Great young fighters are there to fight like Thurman, GGG, etc., but Floyd knows his bull**** will get exposed. You see, you actually have to fight those type of fighters, because running and pot-shotting won't work on gifted fighters.

Tell me what they were doing when they were 38 years old.

Stop going on about Floyd is amazing as he is 38 years old and what were they doing. They didn't take career breaks like Floyd fighting once every 18 months and picking and choosing did they? Floyd wasn't taking ******* like SRL was.

Floyds not doing what BH is doing at 50 so no Floyd is not overachieving. The standards people put on Floyd is so high, yet Floyd is fighting you know who next. Floyd cant live up to peoples expectations.

What were they doing at 38 again?

What were they doing at 38 again?

They were doing more than Floyd was doing when they were in their prime or whilst they were fighting that's the main issue.
They've got better resumes that's the main thing. Floyds the best supposedly now, so why is he fighting Berto? He wants to be TBE, so why is he fighting Berto?

They took risks when they were supposed to, Floyd is infamous for not taking risks and challenging himself, its all about the zero.
Floyd takes risks, but its only a risk in his own mind. Fighting smaller fighters coming off of kos Is as risky as it gets for Floyd. The Pac win was good, but it was a better win for JMM.
Time for Floyd to take a challenge like Floyd was for JMM. Beat GGG at 157lbs.

At 38 years old Sugar ray Robinson was "only" 141-6-2... doe...

Moving up divisions as you naturally get bigger isn't impressive. If Floyd could move down in weight and beat Lucas, or Garcia now that would be impressive.

GGG is very brave to think he can move down to beat Floyd at 154. That takes more balls than moving up to fight Ward. Well its a toss up but once GGG beats Floyd then he can beat Ward. One step at a time.
Probably Floyd would be easier opponent actually. So one step at a time. Floyds retiring soon so GGG cant move up yet. He would literally have to sprint and rush to to get back down for Floyd.

Lololololol!

[prowess]

Floyd has nothing left to prove

Ray Mancini retired from professional boxing at 31 years old. Fought at Lightweight for all but 2 of his 34 fights and lost 4 straight before retirement. His best victory came against Deuk Koo Kim. And he lost to the 5 biggest names on his resume. so when I hear a guy talk about what another fighter needs to do to be in the top 10 when he himself isn't even in the top 25 lightweights of all time. At 38 he was probably out drinking beer with the homies by then. It amazes me me that people want Mayweather to lose so bad that they will stack the deck against with the weight disadvantage then if boxes with his style negating all the strengths of GG they still won't be satisfied. Mayweather's style has allowed him longevity in a sport where most are only prime for a few years so having a easy farewell fight for the old man shouldn't get everyone's panties in a bunch.
