Thread: Do you agree with Buncies assessement, Floyd lacking a Frazer/Duran to be TBE?

Y'know, a match between Kostya and Mayweather couldn't have happened anyway as one guy was signed with Showtime and the other was with HBO.

It's been done before.

He DOES have a nemesis, it's been Manny Pacquiao, and 99.9% of anybody boxing knows it. It's always been Pacquiao!

@ross Of course he bloody ducked Floyd, I have heard it all and it's all nonsense, everybody wants the fight except Floyd. Manny ASKED him for the bloody fight. Even the great Muhammad Ali has just gone on record urging him to take the fight.

Floyd has been Manny's goal from day dot!

After what we just witnessed how can you even write off Manny now!?

Bowe and Floyd are biggest quackers in history. The pure definition of the word "duck".

I'm not saying he ducked every fighter, I don't believe any of that, but he shamefully did Pac.

You could make just as strong of an argument to say it was the other way round. There will always be fighters who other fighters don't fight. I remember when Margarito was in Pacquiao's position a few years back and apparently Floyd was ducking him. Sometimes, fights just don't get made. A win over Pacquiao doesn't make or break Mayweather.

Wrong.

A win over Pacquiao would completely cement his legacy.

Never fighting him cuts his legacy in half.

That's what most ppl see I believe.

Not now it doesn't. Pacquiao has lost twice (once legit) since the fight was mooted, and his last spectacular performance against a top level guy was a good few years back now.

Not beating Pacquiao doesn't detract from him being considered one of the greatest of all time. He's dominated the sport for over a decade.

He could beat Pacquiao so comfortably that it wouldn't impove his legacy a great deal. He could just make it look like Pacquiao is completely finished. His best case scenario is that he comes through a storm to win, and that's what people have always wanted to happen. I've even heard people say he needs to avenge a loss to be considered the GOAT. It's ridiculous.

@ono max power was discredited and left saddo in shame.

A) Bunce is a fucking moron

B ) Floyd has plenty of rivals but very few get respect for hanging with him/giving him a hard fight.
