Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Beat The Big 3 - Pacquiao, Canelo, Cotto

[Mr.Fantastic]

I remeber Mia St.John saying "no fighter is 100% when they enter a ring." These guys have to cut weight, go through injuries, and rigorous training camps. Floyd himself was not 100% when he faced any of these guys and he was well into his 30s. Stop with the excuses.

Not excuses, it's the truth. He waited for Pac n Cotto to get whopped before he fought them and fought Canelo at a catch weight.

who'd have ever thought Cotto would give him the best fight out of these 3.

I always thought that. Styles make fights, Cotto is the only one who ever had a chance of beating Floyd out of the three of them.

[bigjavi973]

after two of them got knocked the f out

Cotto never got KTFO.

[therealpugilist]

this thread is gonna turn into he should have did this or that


How many fighters in history, made it clear they were the best of their era



He beat almost every potential hall of famer in his weight class

130 had Hernandez and Corrales

135 Castillo

140 Gatti

147 Mosley, Hatton, Pacquaio

154 Canelo, ODLH, Cotto



im sure at least 8 out 10 make the hall


with less than 50 fights that's impressive no matter how you slice it


dude has been fighting champions on a consistent basis since 1998....2003 AND 1999 are the only years he was actice since 1998 where he didn't fight a current or former world champion


that doesn't happen everyday




only people that are gonna be complaining are the fans of the fighters he beat, or haters because Mayweather is truly an all time great and proofed it, he don't owe us nothing. He can end his career however he likes

So what? Pacquiao got his ass whooped three times before he even got to ww you idiot. Floyd fought the best pacquiao he could've fought. Floyd asked for cotto at 140 and was blocked by arum......Floyd left top rank and that fight wasn't possible afterwards because he was suing arum.

Pacquiao got knocked out twice before he even got to WW, bro. Accept the loss and move on.

you cant rewrite history......top rank prevented both of those fights from happening sooner


Mayweather fought ODLH his first fight not with TR


Soon as Cotto goes solo, he fought Floyd



sorry Floyd was never scared of all of them and how is him waiting to fight anyone benefitting him when he is older than Cotto, Pacquaio, and Canelo and has fought waaaaaay more championship opposition than them

He has twice as many title fight wins as Pacquaio

[Nightfall]

I would have given floyd more credit had he not retired after the ricky hatton fight & fought cotto at welterweight...

and it still would've been the same results or even worse for cotto.

[SilverMiles]

The standards for Floyd greatness is substantially lower than that of other fighters. He doesn't have to fight prime opponents he just has to beat them. He left welterweight while everyone beat each other to death and came back to pick up the scraps.

Everyone know Manny wasn't the same after fighting Margarito and taking body shots from a much larger opponent, who Floyd also ducked.

Manny had to fight prime fighters though 8 division, is considered FOTD, universally recognized 3x fighter of the year, has beaten the most world champions in the history of the sport, and has 70 pro fights. But still some idiots believes Floyd compares.

A gift decision over a smaller man doesn't make you better, lol.

He fought Cotto way too late to be considered a great win and Canelo was Canelo.

Well he isn't lying.
