    Yeah, that's pretty bad. He could beat Canelo and Sergio and I still wouldn't have him in my top 10. However, people here have said the same about Manny, which is even more absurd.

    I wish he would find martinez. He is actually a skilled enough boxer to beat mayweather.

    Matinez's age has caught up to him unfortanately. his only chance would be to win by KO. I actually though Marray beat him

    Good thing I didnt waste 60 bucks on this fight. Mayweather always makes for boring fights. It's funny, my dad always orders the ppv to watch him fight, then complains that he stand there and bang, proclaiming he will never pay to watch this guy fight again. Yet, there he goes again ordering the fight knowing very well how it's going to end. lol.

    i can't believe in 44 fights, 17 years and people still haven't figured out that mayweather will not just stand still and trade shots like other low iq fighters.

    hit and don't get hit is words mayweather lives by

    Mayweather stood in the pocket for like 6 rounds even with a hurt hand. He's not going to just sit there in trade haymakers like Brandon Rios. That's why he's elite and undefeated

    He's not going fight the fighters the fans what to see. He going fight the guys he knows he can bear because may is too worried about his legacy. So he will take the easy fights make a ton of money and continue thinking he is the greatest.

    The greatest takes on all challengers. Record don't mean ****. You don't gotta be undefeated to be the greatest. You just gotta take all challenges and be on top.

    *Yawn

    He's the greatest fighter in the current era and that's not debatable

    Who do you want to see him fight?

    You guys apparently think boxing is about brawls and KOs, I love watching Floyd fight, beautiful to see how he uses body movement and skill to evade punches and never seems to lose focus. Perfect tactician and one of the smartest boxers ever, always in control of the fight.

    Floyd doesn't slap with his punches. He just doesn't carry power. Much like BHop, Whitaker, Pep, need I continue? Want to criticize their spots in history?

    Calzaghe gets **** on unfairly because he's on overseas guy. Clean wins over BHop, Kessler, Bika, Eubank, Sheika and single handedly dismantled Lacy when he was supposed to be the next Tyson all while having a coke problem.

    I know you're a Manny hugger but don't make yourself look ignorant.

    He is a very intelligent cat. He actually takes difficult fights, and people always claim he is going to lose, but he just makes it look easy.

    B-Hop and Mayweather are both great fighters in the since that they understand that defense is the key to winning fights. Counter punching fighters do not take as much damage as your brawlers who sit in that pocket and just throw punch after punch while good defensive fighters role there shoulders and have enough head movement to avoid taking damage.


    I'd say that Mayweather is probably the smartest boxer I have ever witnessed. Too a casual boxing fan he is boring, to a diehard its beautiful. I don't see him losing. Canelo wouldnt stand a chance.

    Can't really say that's too ridiculous. I think his style would wipe the floor with guys like Sugar ray, and even pretty boy in their primes.

    Boring he may be, but the guy has perfected his craft and is a master of taking other boxers out of their game plan.

    The best boxer of my lifetime, and I don't believe there's a close second.
