TBE
He is having a laugh! To be fair he is a smart guy and to quote a " Pugilist Specialist" but he stinks the place out. I would never pay to watch him fight. People forget Duran fought against Middleweights. I remember watching the Mickey Ward Arturo-Gatto fights and Barrera- Morales epics. The truth is Floyd is an excellent boxer and dedicated to his profession but TBE and All Time greats fight whoever wants to take their Crown. You can't knock his Ring ability and I know he beat Corrales and Castillo but in my book he didn't take on all comers and to be TBE you have to fight the best when the gauntlet is throw. Oh and as defensive boxers go try Jack Johnson! |

Floyd has the technical skills to change his style to adjust to his opponent. Hardly 'the fight of the century', didn't live up to all the hype, more like a dancing match at times, but Floyd is exceptional.

Who knows if Mayweather actually believes if he is the TBE and frankly who cares. I don't think anybody who knows and loves boxing would rate him that highly. When it comes to us boxing lovers some will have him in their top ten and some won't. That's no disservice to him. It just shows how tough it is to rate the guys who have claims to being the greatest of all time. All the guys at that level had great skills but many others had genuine KO ability but what really sets them apart is their willingness to test themselves consistently against the best.
Roy Jones set something of a template for Mayweather to follow but even he fought some truly great fighters at their best and didn't chisel them with demands which sapped their ability to show their own best. Smartest of all time? Maybe. Greatest? Not even close in my book. |

i thought the size difference was a big factor.
Floyd has a reach advantage of 5 inches and is also 2 inches taller Pacman just couldnt get to him as Mayweathers movement meant that he is so hard to hit. it made it hard for Manny to turn it into a brawl as all floyd had to do was pick him off and score There wont be a rematch. Thats that folks |

"where can I see the highlights?"
the highlights ??? just Google highlights of the fight - several videos online. |

who mayweather fight next
|
|
By:
If the fight could be made Golovkin would be the one I'd pick. But I doubt it will happen and definitely not at middle.

perfect. cheers

Mayweathers made $500million+ by dodging punches. Pacquaio is to blame for the boring fight imo Plan A was garbage and didnt have a plan B
|
|
By:
There was only 1 plan last night for both fighters - to screw as much money out of people as possible.
Same for the re match |
|
By:
just watched the fight, 118-10?? really??
|
|
By:
Manny got schooled big time , i had pac to win only small bet as i thought Mayweather would do what he did but wanted Pac to win always wrong going against your head.Re-match could happen you never know but Pacs got to fly in and not move out so soon when he has him on ropes like Roaches plan in this fight.Just do what Maidaina done in the first box and go for KO as its possible.
I reckon Mayweather is one of the greatest now hes ,who should he fight next? He was a KO fighter but aging he changed into mega defence , dont get hit dont lose simple.He showed Pac respect also all night.This fight was m;ade 5 year ago imo and Mayweather and Pac held of for bigger money.This is the fight he came back for |
|
By:
I agree the scores where a but over the top , need to give Manny a round more maybe or 2 but just look at punches landed , Pac landed f.all and that makes Mayweather untouchable at this level.
|

By:
Thurman being mentioned as next opponent , back floyd at 1.01 if that goes ahead haha
|
|
By:
It's a sad day when you're running scared of Amir Khan FFS
 |
|
By:
Cotto rematch , Canelo rematch plenty for him to choose money will be huge even though everyone says they will never pay again as Mayweather is boring.The celebs will pay for it and the sponsors also so 1 more fight might even be Manny again.Hope so and Manny goes for it like Maidana
|
|
By:
Some people will be calling him a **** if he picks Khan he cant win , im no fan but he is the best and proved it last night , its boxing not street fight so you use the ring how you like every inch of it

Not for sure no zealot. I'm the first to admit it's speculative and subjective. We have enough trouble identifying who is the best P4P now let alone in history. The subjective issue is massive. Fighters now guard their 0 like a nun does with their chastity whereas in days gone by they fought so often that with other front line fighters and many others not so good they could have an off day three or four weeks after gutsing it out in the previous fight. I certainly don't hold losses from those days or indeed now against a fighter if they are shooting for the stars but names I'd throw into the mix in no particular order although I'm not suggesting they are definitely better would be the following. One other thing I do generally tend to allow a certain amount of time to settle on a career before making a final pronouncement and I find it highly likely that Floyd will rise. However: The daddy - Robinson. Bubbling under - Armstrong, Duran, Pep, Hagler, Leonard, Sanchez, Greb, Leonard, Wilde, Louis, Gavilan, Walker, Leonard, Wilde, Jones, Ali. And doubtless others. |

By:
Apologies. I rated Leonard but not so as to put him in twice. I refer to Benny and Ray.

Andre Ward can't get a fight at SM because he's a technical purist, but this low life n1gger gets paid $150 million for a dancing show. Puzzling.

By:
Promoting the fight on a high scale , thats how you earn $$$$$$$ Pac and Floyd have had this fight planned for a good few year the longer it went on the more $$$$ was made.It came now as people had given up on it and they cashed in their chips both unharmed
|
|
By:
Now Mayweather has given up his belts or is planning too before last fight , there should be some good scraps for they belts

Out of order Denman. You may not like him. Many of us find his life outside the ring to be appalling but in the 21st century to denigrate him with the term you did is unforgivable. Had you been an ill educated red neck having sex with your sisters and mother in 1950's America you may just have been partially excused because you were an ignorant idiot. You have no such excuse now. Shame on you.

Eat **** ET they call it themselves. Nice to see your support for a wife beating jail bird who has a very questionable character.
Enjoy your copy of the Morning Star and vote for Red Ed on Thursday. Tosspot. |

By:
It's funny how you equate my horror at your ignorance with support for Mayweather's crimes. I'm no leftie sucker. Take that to the bank but if your neighbour broke into the graveyard and dug up corpses for a spot of necrophilia would you be out with your shovel on the basis that what is sauce for the goose? In fact don't answer that question. GCHQ may be reading and I don't want you to incriminate yourself. The word belongs in another age. A much poorer age in morals and the fact that you are defending it on this basis shows how stupid you are.You get that motherfrucker? Stupid.

amazing, Floyd schools Manny and still gets no credit and so many still whinge, the guy is an awesome boxer, simple as
and where is that mouth Over2.5 ?? |
|
By:
Would anyone that paid for the fight on Saturday be prepared to pay to see a rematch?
I certainly wont be paying to watch that again. |
|
By:
He won't have to leave first gear to beat khan but it'll still sell million ppvs
I probably would buy a rematch. Purely because I'm a mug and the sequel can't possibly be as bad |
|
By:
could be worse.sport hardly exists these days.it's all business.media hype building things up to get the juices salivating appealing to the ill informed.sad thing is,it keeps working.the real world disappeared a long time ago,can't recall the exact date but....
