No announcement yet.
Why was Mayweather held to such standards from certain posters?

Floyd was a ducker and chicken the last ten years yet ended his career beating 15 champs in a row, yet GGG is a monster, the best middleweight in the world, top 3 p4p with a thin resume.
Casuals are big on GGG, he gets kos and has an exciting style. Some casuals like ggg
cause they think he is white. Lol he is Asian
As long as GGG win they are satisfied yet Floyd has fought world class opposition in half his fights and you guys (not necessarily u) have an excuse or complaint)
They expected so much out of Floyd because they expected him to lose by now

A fighters outside personality and ring performance are separate
Fans are too emotionally invested now these days. Letting their heart cloud logic. I.e. discredit Floyd's every move yet big up fighters who haven't accomplished .33 of what he has.... Put it this way. Floyd the coward. The ducker was has defeated 8x the champions GGG has yet his resume gets picked apart yet they make excuses for GGG. Mike McCallum was avoided....by better fighters too...he moved up and had hall of fame career. McCallum actually pulled a anyone from 154-175 and won titles at 154, 160, 175 so GGG being ducked as an excuse to his thin resume isn't enough. His team turns down fights like everyone else.
Just because you don't "like" a fighter outside the ring doesn't mean you ignore his brilliance inside.
To be the best you have to believe It yourself first. He wasn't the first n won't be the last to say I'm the best or greatest.

Great points. Can't refute them. Won't even try. He is that good.
He is that good.

its a clear double standard. Especially by casuals who pose as boxing fans. LOL the only fighters they know are GGG, Mayweather and Pacquaio. They trash Ward because they are too confident he would have beat him in the first place. want GGG to fight Mayweather but "ward 2 classes higher doe".

Rankings and belts do always seem to hold weight except when it comes to Mayweather.
P4P rankings
Divisional rankings
Title belts
Lineal titles
All get talked about when talking about other opponents but Floyd is the guy with the best statistics in all those areas.
they know he has the best resume of the era so they trash it so they dont have to acknowledge it'
its childish and its clear who they are.
Mayweather had a better resume than GGG by his 6th year as a pro and 25 fights in.
Mike McCallum was avoided to

Gennady's forever career was elevated to WBA and WBC from vacant belts...
for those of you that don't know, when future generations watch Lil'Gs fights on youtube yearsss down the line, they'll research his opponents and only come to one conclusion..."who were they...perhaps it was Golovkin's mgmt. and a boxing network not providing other fighters proper pays to get in the ring..?"

Floyd cherry picked stipulations, he dropped his belt to avoid Manny Pacquiao he was only willing to fight someone on every single one of his terms being meet that and he was a blatant PED abuser who has likely been at it for the past 7-8years.

Lineal champion. Wins over Corrales(stripped of ibf was supposed to be unification), jesus chavez, carlos hernandez, angel manfredy, Gregorio Vargas and Genaro Hernandez and REAL title defenses no elevations.
lol thats sad you hype someone who doesnt have a better resume than floyd when he was only 24-25 years old bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!
