Laymans history will remember 49-0. His peers will remember cherry picking. And most important, Floyd will remember cherry picking, money ain't everything. Pun intended.

negative, his peers will remember how boxing politics with selfish promoters destroyed some great fights, they all played a part in it...... he just catches the most heat for it

one day fighters will apologize to floyd for it, you can count on that
 
I don't really know how much you can use KO rate to evaluate Mayweather's skill. His style relies more on outboxing his opponent than trying to finish them off. He doesn't KO people a lot because that's not really what he goes for. He plays it safe. KO specialists aren't really the safest of boxers because throwing heavy punches is more risky than keeping an inferior opponent at bay with defense, jabs, and counters.

I disagree when OP says Mayweather is better than RJJ at inviting attacks and then countering with power shots. Roy would basically put his hands down and let his opponent attempt whole combos and still take them out before they could hit him. Floyd ain't quite that smooth.

History IS laymans Lol In the sense that the people old enough to see it get old, and details get forgotten

I.e. history will not remember that Tim Duncan and KG were once equals or that KG could have been better at 1 point. They remember the numbers. Duncan 5 rings> KG's 1

History is ALREADY forgetting Kobe rode Shaq to them 3 titles. You damn near dont even hear about that anymore. All that matters is he got his 5 rings.

 
He's running from Pac & that's the fight the whole world wanna see. He gonna get paid crazy bread regardless & he's getting more bread than Pac regardless. He say he all about the money & his guaranteed so what's the excuse?

He is a great boxer but that nigga is a Jay-Z kind of cornball ass nigga

History forgot Maidana got knocked down in the first round by Victor Otriz.

Maidana knocks down AB and everyone starts to think he can actually fight now.

@"MSG Da Mecca"‌ Ppl need to tell Manny to take the test. Now he wants the fight after the first time it was Manny and his team turning down the offers TMT gave them. He says he will fight him no matter what, but apparently Manny doesn't want the fight that bad. Scared of needles my a$$.

He also does not need to fight Pacquiao next, but we all still want to see the fight.

In other news: Schaefer leaves Golden Boy Promotions and Floyd turns his back on them. Old news, but this means the Sept. fight will not involve GBP. Elerbe says they will not work with GBP without Schafer.

Question is will Schafer join TMT or start his own promotion team?

Will other fighters leave ODLH in the dust too?
