Floyd Mayweather, his style

[Beanflicker]

In terms of the sweet science, I don't think it gets any better than Floyd. A true sports virtuoso.

As for Manny, hindsight is 20/20. Maybe he should have looked into some of that defense. I've never seen Floyd layed out on the canvas for a 10 count before, let alone 3 times like Manny.

Manny is a different person. Manny never had the unique privileges that Floyd enjoyed growing up around boxers, practically in the gym, under his father and uncle's tutelage. Pacquiao came to boxing later and fights with the same hunger that got him off the street. It may not be as pretty but it has taken him a long way. As for Floyd not losing or never having been knocked down that is a testament to his defensive skills but also a product of what is often a safety first style. There are fighters better than Floyd with losses and KO's on their record and every time somebody tries to pull that out like a trump card it kind of cheapens their logic for me. Floyd has 26 KO's in 46 fights, Manny has 38 in 61 so at a KO percentage of 61 and 64% there does not seem to be a huge difference between them but Styles will dictate that Pacquiao has always put himself in more precarious and dangerous situations than Floyd. If either changed their styles drastically they would not be as successful, it's what makes them the fighters they are.

Name them. I'm sure Duran is one of them. The guy who quit in the middle of a championship fight because he had a tummy ache and he was getting made to look foolish by a superior boxer. Or Tommy Hearns, the guy with no chin and had NO IDEA what to do when he got rocked. Yeah, those guys were much better than Mayweather.

Not forgetting his embarrassing loss to Kirkland Laing.

Hey that give's me an idea

If you are SURE Duran is one of them then there is no point in me naming them. That is the crux of the Problem with some people. You can admire Floyd's ability and style but unless you agree he is the greatest boxer of all time you are classed as a hater. He is not Jesus ffs grow up.

Jesus lost to some journeymen to, and his claims were a lot more deluded than Floyds. Yet nobody ever picks his resume apart the same way. Maybe since he wasn't American he gets a pass. It's pathetic.

Classic Example. Even the idea that somebody could consider someone to be better than Floyd is greeted with derision. Thinking there are better fighters who may have losses on their record has nothing to do with picking apart Floyd's resume. It is a subjective opinion. The fact that fighters from other eras are considered by many to be better than Floyd is not evidence that all those people are bitter Floyd haters but rather that those people have been more impressed by the all round ability, styles and resumes of others. Floyd is fighting now and they are not so it is not a quantifiable judgement it is an opinion that people are entitled to have. Your right it really is pathetic that not worshipping at the altar of FMJ is seen as boxing blasphemy.
