Giantfootball025 : 9/13/2014 10:47 pm : link
wins this easy. Always a shot Maidana catches Mayweather, but highly unlikely. I'll score the fight on here but, i'm not expecting anything nearly as close as last time.

it was a punch that was there in the latter half of the first fight, and he's setting it up with the jab.

No. He ducked too many guys. He would've had to fight Sugar Ray back in the 80s, and Ray had a Jordan-esque sociopathic need to win..

The important thing is he ducked Pac in his prime
Not even Pacquaio

Name one top guy Floyd fought in his prime in the last 10 years after the De La Hoya fight.

He's a great fighter, but a protected great fighter.
What the fuck?

the assumption is that Pac would've beaten Floyd. i'm not sure why ppl think that, but thats a HUGE assumption.

floyd is just perfect with his boxing skills. you can't argue that

As a previous poster stated

He ducked Williams and Margarito before Pacquiao back in 2004-2006.

djl8699 : 9/13/2014 11:58 pm : link
Fighters make the mistake of fighting mayweather's fight. He sets the angle, other fighters follow, which also means he gets the drop on the counter punch or escape. Basically he sets the tone on making you look stupid.

To beat him you have to be unpredictable, instead of stepping forward, step to the side. Instead of defending, throw. All these fighters lose these fights by boxing him instead of going out on their shields. Mayweather is great but is not unbeatable. Fighters just need to stop boxing his fight. If you make it into a war and get knocked out, so be it. But at least you'd have a shot.

Did you watch the PBF-JMM fight? Mayweather came in past the weight limit and paid a fat JMM to get beaten. To finally beat Pacquiao JMM got a new trainer in his late 30s and became ripped. Same trainer who has been connected to PEDs for years.

Canelo was too young and inexperienced and Floyd took advantage.

The Leonard-Hagler-Hearns triumvirate this ain't.

Exactly why Floyd will fight him now. He's just a better fighter. Bigger, faster, stronger, better technically and defensively.

yall do realize Floyd is two years older than Pac, right.

people act like Pac don't have 5 losses and 2 draws.

Pac not messing with Floyd

sugar ray robinson was born in 1921. so no, i didn't see him box, lmao! but i did see the others listed.

47-0 with 26 KOs means Floyd has fought ALOT of rounds of boxing. and i can only name 3 or 4 times that he's actually been caught with a shot! thats super impressive to me. Zab caught him, Shane caught him, couple others.

what makes you think Haglar, Leonard would have even hit him once???

While I don't think Floyd is the GOAT (mainly because he isn't aggressive enough) he is absolutely the most skilled pure boxer that I've ever seen.

Of the guys you've named, (aside from the puncher's chance that any good boxer would have) only Robinson and Leonard would stand a chance, IMO. Floyd easily handles the more aggressive fighters and is a master at getting guys to fight his fight.

*I haven't seen enough Griffith fights to have an opinion and I've only seen tapes of Robinson





As much as i dislike Mayweather Jr  
est1986 : 9/14/2014 9:44 am : link
the person.. i love Mayweather Jr the fighter, solid win last night. Floyd could have had maybe 2 to 4 tougher fights in his 47 fight career. Oh well, still the best pound for pound boxer of all time. Greatest defensive fighter by a long shot, hand speed second to none. If he gets to 50-0 with solid wins like last night then give him the GOAT title or his preference "TBE"... the best ever. And for those of you holding on to him "ducking fights" you all have your points but what do you make of a older Mayweather fighting and dominating a undefeated Alvarez who looked better than Paul Williams or Antonio Margarita ever looked prior to the fight with Floyd..?

Did you watch those guys fight? Leonard and Mayweather is an all-time fight but an angry Ray Leonard was a force of nature. Hagler would've fought the Maidana style except maybe 100 times better. If Hagler could take Tommy Hearns' best shots, he would walk through Mayweather. Floyd would be boxing his ass off from Round 1.
G.O.A.T.  
jmac13 : 9/14/2014 10:52 am : link
It's hard to go against Sugar Ray Robinson. He fought so many great fighters. He was virtually unbeatable as a welterweight and great enough to win the middleweight title.
He also fought for the light heavyweight title against Joey Maxim and was way ahead after 12 rounds but couldn't answer the bell in round 13 due to exhaustion. Joey Maxim had wins over Floyd Patterson and Jersey Joe Walcott. Robinson was retired for 3 years in his prime and won the middleweight title after that.
