Best ever boxer GTFOH
has no real great rival or produced a great performance where he was an under dog.

These could be signs that he's just really, really good at boxing though.

Or that he has not faced a better rival or challenge.

Talking about TBE is pointless. The people against don't even realize how the compliment. Like Master is arguing against but when he lists people to beat Floyd his list was entirely larger men. In a P4P argument that is not intended to be but it is a compliment.

Floyd is the absolute best of his era and there is no reasonable argument against that, that is good enough.

[Master]

Muhammid Ali is known and will be known throughout the world far longer than Floyd ever will be.

No doubt, Floyd's a great fighter. Truly earned his place in the HOF. Not the most exciting the past few years but I certainly appreciate every effort he puts on. Often I find defense just as, or more impressive than offense. Loved Tyson when he was at his defensive high. Did so many amazing things, when I see great defense, literally makes me laugh, in a good way, it can make a competent fighter look inept. Also, I love a great jab. It is no coincidence that Floyd and Wlad have two of the best jabs in boxing. It has been a large part of the success. Despite the crap fight, Manny did a decent job slowing Floyd's jab compared to his last few fights but he still got it in.

Hahhahaa

[Master]

Sure am and he will always remain a prick.

[walrus]

Sure am and he will always remain a prick.

That's the thing, Floyd chose this persona to portray and it has worked well for him. Then his fans get upset when people call him on it. We still watch him and enjoy his skills but the controversy has worked in his favor. Who knows, maybe one one one he's a real nice guy, I mean he hangs with Justin Beiber, how bad can he be.

If you're trying to make a case for TBE, none of the crossed out items are relevant.

I guess those "items" as you call them aren't relevant if you don't have them.

Those "items" prove he's on another level from all the rest.

He sets new levels for what a fighter can be and do with his own career. He's not just a fighter who gets beat up all his career and then retires broke because his manager and promoter robbed him blind.

Floyd is calling himself TBE because of ALL those "items".

They may not mean much to you but that's because none of those crossed out "items" are within your reach OR "Illegal Handwraps" Tito Trinidad's reach.

Pathetic! Sore loser you are.

Rocco, stick to insulting Pactards and show a bit more respect for your boxing elders.

So... Floyd is "The Best Ever" because he has his own promotional company??
Because of what he gets paid??

... and I'm pathetic?


Anyway... what's with the "sore loser" quip?
I had little vested interest in that fight.
Sure I wanted Pac to win... but I knew Floyd would.
I just wanted a better fight.

... and of course you'll bring up the handwrap myth when ridiculed. You're like that little punk in "The Green Mile" who pissed his pants when Billy the criminal on Death Row grabbed him by the neck. Watch the movie.... he's just like you.
