if floyd were around during the 80s...

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

would he be a p4p king?

He would be dead

[Majesty]

would he be a p4p king?

He would be dead

As would every other fighter you'll mention in the Floyd Mayweather Jr p4p era because he was better then them all


Also why does everyone bring up the Castillo fight? that wasn't mayweather at his best and I think we've all seen that and people just have to start admitting it.

The castillo fight has no relevance whatsoever anymore because we've seen Mayweather at what we feel is his peak and it wasn't against Castillo.

Don't short change Mayweather's ability because the fighters in the 80s are your more favorite or because they were tougher.

You should look at the styles of the fighters.

Most fans seem to have the misnomer that if they admit a fighter of this generation can beat a fighter in the past that they are saying that boxer of this generation is a better boxer, so they protect their favorites and throw them the people they don't care about a lot just to give them some credit.

Which is why I see people saying he couldn't beat Duran but are handing him camacho.

Mayweather would outbox Duran. Doesn't make him greater then Duran.

Mayweather would outbox Chavez.


Mayweather could beat Aaron Pryor because he wouldn't get drawn into a fight with him. Aaron was tough as nails and could take your best punch. But don't overrate one and underrate the other, Mayweather is one of the most gifted boxers of his time and is one of the top greatest fighters of his generation. The first being Roy Jones Jr. Mayweather is second on that list, no questions, and you don't get that kind of spot for nothing.

So don't discredit Mayweather because he isn't your cup of tea, the fact is he is one of the greatest boxers to ever grace the ring and he can hang with the 80s legends.
