Olympian, do you KNOW anything about boxing? Because if you thing that Floyd is already an ALL TIME GREAT...you don't much about the sport...and instead come across as Floyd groupie. I have never said Floyd isn't a very talented fighter with the POTENTIAL to be an all time great. I have simply stated that he has not fought anywhere close the level of competition UP TO NOW...to be even close to being considered one of the sports all time greats.

People get so bent out of shape regarding Floyd.

The facts are that Floyd is one of the best fighters of this decade...he always has been & always will be.

Beating Oscar will mean alot...period. It has when other fighters beat him...thing is...it will depend on how Floyd beats him, if he does...but no matter what...he will not be respected for it.

Floyd handled some of the better fighters of our generation when he defeated Castillo, Hernandez, Chavez, & Corrales. Whether or not I like them outside of the ropes...I can clearly acknowledge their accomplishments inside of them.

Funny thing is...the above name fighters often recieve loads of praise & support...until you bring Floyd's name into the equation...then there is always something derogatory to be said about them & then it filters down to Floyd.

It's really stupid.

If Floyd had an attitude that appealed to the masses...say he acted like Oscar, Mosley, Taylor, or any of the other nice guys...he would be respected & recieve accolades in bunches.

If he colored inside of the lines so to speak...he would be loved. PERIOD.

That's a fact.

Its Like everyone's beef with my boi SRL....IMO he gets stick from those who dont like him becuase of his personality outa the ring....and of course the decision with Hagler in which everyone blames Leonard for that not the judges which i personally find a tad odd....i fink he deserved a razor thing decision but i aint gona kik that one off agen.

I just don't have a lot of respect for his level of opposition. We just disagree on that point.

zhubin...you can disagree with yourself all you want.

You obviously didn't read my statement before you jumped to try & tear it apart. Read below...re-read below:

I said "better" not "best".

You said that...so if anyone is stretching something...that'd be you...but not recognizing who he beat or how he beat them shows a lack of respect...which you seem to have based on your comments abound.

Thing is...most people...I'm assuming like you...will say that Floyd never beat the best...even if he beats them. If Cotto were to beat & humiliate Cotto, Oscar, Margarito, or Hatton to name a few...it would end up panning out like this:

Cotto: To green & nothing but hype.
Oscar: To old & living off of his name.
Margarito: Never beat anyone worthy, hype machine.
Hatton: Protected fighter that had one good win.

Crap like that is already circulating in speculation...no matter what Floyd does...he will always face criticism from people that dislike him & nothing he can do will be enough.

Re: pretty boy

Your arrogance is amusing. And believe me...i wasn't trying to tear you apart. You also need to stop "assuming" things. I never brought up Cotto, Margarito, or Hatton....and you have no idea how i would respond if he was to face and beat those fighters. You obviously are a huge Floyd fan. And I can respect that. But if it bothers you that some people don't like or respect him or as much as you do...that's your problem.

Again...wordplay.

I said tear apart what I was saying...not me.

As far as me speaking on Floyd...it's not a problem...nor is the fact that you seem to have an issue understanding that the post was directed as a broad statement for how people respond to his opposition & not you directly...since wer'e speaking on arrogance...it aint all about you.

Glad I could amuse you...it's what I'm here for...just for you. ;D ::**

you make an excellent point, CC #36 . Pretty Boy is a very smart business man, and to his own admission he will make the smart business decision above all else . There is nothing wrong with that I might add, We have all been guilty of trying to make the smart business decision , In boxing you got one body which is your money maker, when that’s finished and used up, your over as a fighter ! Floyd has the ability to fight who he wants , and in the past he fought guys in which he deems less threatening yet still profitable up until now he has never really been challenged , he has been superior to everyone he has faced which was his plan . , Floyd Mayweather is one of the most gifted boxers ever ! However as a person, Floyd is a smug little cunt , and for that I'd like to see him plastered on the canvas May 5th. ;) O0

When did i ever say DLH, Cotto, or Margo could defeat Floyd? You need to calm down. You prove my point about your lack of knowledge by ranting non sense. Floyd fans like you are unintentionally funny.

Re: pretty boy

I agree Allthetruth...I believe that he is top 4 guranteed right now.Zhubin if you dont believe that any of those fighters can beat PBF then why say that he has to fight them?For those who question the quality of the people he has fought...who should he fight?I see no reason for a mosley fight.An arguement can be made for Hatton giving his profile in England and his stellar record.Margo...lol..the guy has 4 losses and hasn't fought anyone(PBF has 6 losses in his entire life).Cotto I believe needs to fight maybe 2 more top fighters.
I'd like to see Mosley vs Cotto=winner take on PBF
P.Williams/Margo/Berto battle it out.
