I don't know the answer, because I never posted that. But one serious question for you? Obviously you're a big Fan of Floyd's Rocco, my question is , Do you want to see him fight again, and if so, Who against?
the reason I ask this is I don't believe Floyd's fans particularly want to see him fight, I don't think Floyd particularly wants to fight, so why the fuck does everybody try to make these ridiculous match ups?

Re: How many losses should Mayweather have on his record?
I don't like Mayweather, I think you have to be as sporting in victory as you are in defeat
I think to be successful to any level the talent has to be there but there is also a certain amount of good fortune necessary
to rise to the level he rose to, enjoy it yes, but recognise the hand you have been dealt

Duran, Armstrong. Other guys like Gavilan and Napoles started in lower weight divisions than Mayweather started and although they weren't successful against the middleweight champ at least they had the balls to challenge themselves.

Sugar Ray Leonard must be added to the list.

If we are talking notable welters (long reigning champs like Mayweather is considered) then there are even more to add. Many of the best welters have challenged the middleweight champ throughout history.

Manny Pac rise up the weights is far more impressive than Floyds.

Floyds rise in the weights is impressive, you have to think tho most of his big wins are against fighters that have also risen up through the weights
Re: How many losses should Mayweather have on his record?
ive just looked at floyds record to try and justify what I just said and im not sure its quite as impressive as its made out to be
there's a lot of names on there but at what stage of their career?
what is his best win? Canelo? Hatton?
