MAYWEATHER / PACQUIAO - Saturday Night - FIGHT THREAD- TR/HBO/SKY

[Beanz]

What a borefest, Floyd is the new Wald and the sooner he retires the better. No one will watch his fight in September.

I will. Floyd is the best fighter of our generation, he might be the best ever. I'll be gutted when he retires.

Where have you been? Please do not come back.

So you don't want me to come back because I show appreciation for a skilled boxer on a boxing forum? What do you think this place is for?

I think it's ridiculous to call Floyd Mayweather Jr. hype. Of our generation he has soundly beaten everyone there is to fight. Everyone fans have accused him of ducking he came back and he beat them. Floyd is good fir boxing. The world tunes in to watch him fight. Just look at the numbers he does. Then you all criticise him for winning until he fights next time, when you will watch again.

I really hope we have another as skilled as him soon.

NO, though I don't agree with you, stay. Welcome back @bzkfn don't listen to Master he is probably just wired after having an accidental non-caffeine free coffee or some non herbal tea. He was I believe, jesting. We are down to Viking Eric and Canelo now, so you must come back on diversity grounds alone.

His skill set is certainly admirable although I would never call him TBE. Even the term TBE is a bit retarded. These things are only ever going to be opinions because of the long history that boxing has. You can't match fighters across eras unless it is hypothetically, but it is quite easy to envisage several fighters from the past giving Mayweather kittens and a big headache when he is brought round.
