I think he is an all-time great and one of the two people IMO that could maybe stand a chance against Roy JOnes Jr. p4p.

Let me say this right here...& as much as I would like to say that I am done...I won't do that again...because as a fan I will defend Floyd Mayweather Jr to the end...even if he get's brutally stopped or whatever...but you can tear apart a fighter from the ground up just as much as you can his opposition...but Floyd is a star & Floyd has beaten some very game names.
Doing such as this to a man that has not been knocked out, stopped, much less rarely has anyone been able to compete with him...it's honestly ridiculous...but people will do what people will do.
It's pretty amazing that many of you are guilty of breaking down the man when you are all about putting someone like Hatton, Judah, Margarito, & so on & so on up on a pedastal...those three names have either not proven themselves yet or been knocked or beaten by lesser caliber fighters...while Floyd has destroyed better men in the ring.
I'm sorry...but it is that way. Granted Hatton has beaten Kostya...but Mayweather has beaten Corrales, Castillo, & Gatti...but those men get taken apart...it's odd enough to say that Kostya was beaten before by lesser gents than Floyd or those that Floyd has beaten.
I won't even get started on Judah or Margarito...but now that Judah was competitive with Floyd for less than half of a fight & Margarito beat Cintron & a few others...Floyd has been downgraded & is scapegoat worthy material for trash talk on his career...
Very funny.
Throw all the light welters & welters out there...there's not a single on that can match Floyd skill for skill. Sure there are those that are more powerful...but none so technically brilliant in the ring.
Yes...as soon as Floyd get's beaten...& he will...they all do...he will be reduced to ridicule & what not just as Jones was.
Ridiculous...but boxing will be boxing as will fans & haters be fans & haters.

Wacko is right. I can't argue with him outta mad respect. Everytime he comes back with his retort, I admit his argument is always good enough to make me feel guilty.
If Floyd fights Hatton or "Margarita" as he calls him, I will stop drinking a cold glass of "hatorade" as you guys' say. After that fight happens, win or lose, I'll give Mayweather mad props, cause as I said, his latest run isn't "spectacular."
I actually like Floyd. He makes me laugh. Not at him, but if you notice, he's a good comedian. He challenged Spinks face to face shouting "I am the truth!" And he goes to fight Gatti in a King's Throne. hahaThat's classic.
It's not like I'm saying,"FLOYD SUCKS! I'M OUTTA HERE!" I'm actually giving reasons and lets face it, if people like me weren't here, who would be telling Mayweather to take on better challenges? I've read boxing writters who simply don't want a repeat of what Jones Jr. did to his career once he stopped taking on tough fights and started acting like a promoter rather than a fighter. Who would be challenging him? Because with his talents, he could probably eat those challenges up, give an excellent show, and go back to his throne.
I just can't say,"Damn that was pound-for-pound action with, Chop Chop and Judah!!!" after what I know about those fighters. I'll save those words for Winky Wright and Manny Pacquiao, for now. But hey, I suppose I'm a critic, a hater. But you know what? I won't be, as soon as Mayweather starts taking on supposed "Kings" of the Division he's invading. Losing isn't that bad. Everybody is obsessed with that stupid "O." Hell, Margarito lost that "O" years ago and I deem him worthy of his defining shot.
As for now, Oscar de la Hoya is a money fight, unless the unprobable happens and he looks spectacular against Mayorga.
I also believe Mayweather is in a position where he has to take on a real big challenge soon.
Yeah... I'm a bastard. I just have to argue.Originally Posted by Gyrokai

although I am a floyd fan but there were some things said in this post which I agree with. This is the first time I am somewhat in agreement with Starr.Originally Posted by Starr
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
That was a great and incisive article, I thought PBF was about 7 and a half years as a pro, I didn't realise the clock was ticking so much for him.
I know he wants to be a 5 weight world champ within 10 years so I'm guessing that there answers everyone's questions as to if Mayweather will fight Hatton this year.
He'll be moving up to 154 possibly even for his next fight.
I reckon he will be challenging for a junior world title within 2 fights................

But, this isn't the point: the point is take Mayweathers record and compare it to other fighters in the same time and you can definitely point out this man has fought some tough fighters and remained glorious.
Let's take Hatton, Margarito, or Cotto and look at their record. These guys haven't truly fought as many challenging boxers as Mayweather did. Margarito on the other hand lost over 4 fights according to boxingrec.com. If this is not an indication of Mayweathers superiority, then what is?
Believe it or not, it's only a matter of time before Mayweather get around to fighting Hatton, Margarito, or Cotto, and i can bet my money he will prevail.
