And tbf.. You think most of the fighters a floyd mayweather has fought will be remembered or known in a few decades? When the years have passed a fair few of his opponents will just be names thought of as nobodies.. When in fact alot have been good fighters..
I mean Cmon stop basing your arguement on records and the names you do and dont recognise..
You have to have seen his fights and how entertaining they were, and have known the fighters that he fought and how good they were in theyr primes and when roberto fought them..
Not even i have seen enough of roberto's fights or his opponents fights to say i know they were all good.. But he has fought alot of great fighters.. Alot of the fighters you may never of heard of were regarded as good fighters.. Roberto had defining fights and fought the very best to the end of his career and far far past his prime.. and was entertaining the entire time..
What fighters like Mayweather lack is defining fights..aside from a perfect record and the names that are on his record..What fight will people say was truely entertaining and what will they say about floyd mayweather in 20 years..
Answer me that
Cool click man...because that was a very smooth and inteligent answer..
and me personally i rate total dominance higher than entertainment..i like the champs not the underdogs...i thinks it takes more heart and will power to stay motivated when you're on top and fending off every one that's trying to take your spot that why respect the fighters that dominated their opposition...i only want to see a close fight between to greats....if mayweather had a close fight against baldomir it would a bad thing for him in my eyes, as it would be everyone else...They say he needs a defining fight but he shouldn't have to lower and not use all of his skill in order to make that happen..
PBF has great defence, he's accurate, he's quick both in feet and hand, has tremendous ring intelligence when he's putting all these things to use nobody will be close in the end, at least no fighter that currently on the scene...
And I actually have seen Duran's fights, not all of them but the ones with SRL,HAg,HEArns,benitez, and barkley....and to me he was just a stronger version of gatti...yeah he moved up in weight and won titles in these weight divisions..but gatti also won titles, and so did smoke gainer, but i just don't see duran as being a top ten all time boxer...that's just my opinion...he's top 50 but top 10 is just ridiculous to me, because i don't rate professionals on how well they sell or whether or not they were "good or classy guys" out of the ring...i watch them do what they do and that's it...tim duncan is one of best players of all-time not because he has great market appeal but simply because he's one of the best at what he does...pete rose was one of best to ever play baseball..i could care less that he was caught betting on the games...
oh yeah..troll to you may not be an insult to you but it is to me..because I don't like piss people off esp not on purpose..This thread was simply started because i wanted to know why some of you guys consider duran to be worthy of top 10 ATG...
