Can we agree that Floyd Mayweathers last 5 years of his career is overrated

[FlatLine]

If only Mayweather hadn't ducked Khan 4 times in a row - at least he would have saved his resume by facing Khan, even if he lost to Khan as Floyd Sr predicted.

If Floyd fought and beat Khan, people would just say that Khan struggled against Algieri.

The truth is, Floyd is head and shoulders above the likes of Thurman, Porter, and Brook. I think he would easily beat all 3 of them.

You do realize that manny turned down the fight due to him hating needles.

Then turned around and complained that he couldn't get a needle when the fight did happen.

But if mayweathers last five years is over rated what would have made it better?

Stfu, why would needles even come up when simple piss test will suffice. That was phaggot floyd putting excuses

Hes just a troll, why would he write a huge paragraph of garbage on why a professional fighter has fought his fights, what Floyd does in the ring is amazing,

Ortiz was a beast after he beat Berto, Guerrero was a decent contender, Canelo was an overhyped fighter but he did impressed me vs Trout, Maidana was a beast after he beat Broner n of course Pacquiao whos killer instict was back after Algieri

Just looked at how Floyd was able to make these fighters look not so great when he fought them,

Pacquiao who has been running over everybody hes fought, when he fights Floyd lol he couldnt land crap, he looked lost

Maybe ur confusing Pacquiao with Floyd on whos been matched up perfectly to make him look great

Floyd's retirement in 2008 has nothing to do with the Pacquiao fight. That fight wasn't even being take seriously until 2009. People always accuse a boxers retirement of a way to "duck" fights. They did it with Sugar Ray Leonard and they did it with Lennox Lewis. If you retire at the top "you're ducking" but if you keep fighting past your best days you're "washed up." People will always find an excuse.

And I'm sorry but because things aren't fair does not make them right or accurate.

Floyd in 2008 said he's retiring because he doesn't love boxing anymore. Recently, he got questioned you say this is your last fight with Berto you said that in 2008 why should we believe you this time, Floyd said we all know that was a vacation. hahahaha!!!! Quack Quack Quack Duckweather

He was gone for a year. You idiots make it seem like he retired for 5 years or something. If it only takes a year for whoever you think he was ducking to become washed up, then they obviously weren't that good to begin with.

[BrometheusBob.]

To me it's not as over rated as the haters make it sem not is it as under rated as the fan boys make it seem. It's been very good and very bad
Either way I'm a fan of Floyd but I won't praise him for Guerrero, JMM, Berto, and Mosley

Add Ortiz to that list for me. JMM is a good win though but he brought him way up in weight to a CW that he didn't try to make.

On the other hand Maidana was a decent win, and while he didn't fight the best versions of Canelo, Cotto, and Pac, those are still very good wins.

[Build That Wall]

One of the most overrated resume of boxing history possibly on the same level of Rocky Marciano with a mix of Joe Calzaghe and Sven Ottke.

With the mention of Rocky Marciano I think It'd be fair to say that Floyd decided to pick the fight with Manny Pacquiao six years when he went through losses against Bradley (controversial) and Juan Manuel Marquez KO loss instead of fighting him right after the dominating win over Miguel Cotto.

The thing is can we really take a fighter serious who is suppose to be rated with the greats of Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali when he dictated so much of his career on when he decided to fight his opponents?
For me this is a massive deduction to credit and legitimacy to rating of his overall career and partly why he wont be rated higher than Manny Pacquiao overall in the ratings.

To be a great it means more than waiting out and making smart decisions i.e. when a fighter is past his best that is a smart decision but not something which proves you as the best quality fighter this is why someone like Wladimir Klitschko deserves to be rated ahead of him, you just simply cannot always determine your opponents all the time and expect to be rated as the number one not only does Wladimir pick the better opponents but he is the better ambassador for the sport who doesn't disrespect the sport of boxing with any criminal behavior win or loss against Tyson Fury it is clear as day that Wladimir is being unfairly treated because of the hype around Floyds name not the accomplishments of the man.

Shut Up.


Wladimir is boring. Mayweather is entertaining.
