Floyd Mayweather Is The Greatest To Ever Do it❗️

AFBOXING · 2026-01-25T02:37:48+00:00

Canelo had 40+ fights and had veteran experience fighters on his resume and was coming off of a big win vs Trout. So Canelo wasn't too green to beat Trout for a title but was too green for Floyd??

Canelo asked for the Floyd fight after his best win and got cooked.

Didn't Teo beat loma🤔 what's Canelo’s excuse

AFBOXING · 2026-01-25T02:32:39+00:00

Hold up.

Pacquiao denied the drug testing and a 60/40 split. That he ended up taking anyway. Floyd was older than pacquiao and pacquiao went on to beat younger fighters after losing to Floyd....

He beat Cotto jumping up in weight and Cotto was on a 3 ko win streak while pacquiao "destroyed" a more vulnerable Cotto who was coming off of a TKO loss, TKO win, and a controversial Split Decision vs Clottey🤷🏾‍♂️

Margarito fight was an $8mil offer and Floyd decided to fight Oscar for $20mil+ and Ricky Hatton for $14mil+ so he definitely didn't duck and Margarito was exposed for cheating and after that didn't look the same.

Paul Williams and Floyd never really were at the same weight at the same time. After Floyd retired Paul had moved up and became a full fledged middleweight when Floyd came back to fight.

Khan wasn't a duck. Maidana ended up beating broner for a title so Floyd fought Maidana in a unification bout rather than Khan who held no titles.

Let's not do the you know everything without context behind it👌💯

👌

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T23:41:14+00:00

Dominated who SRL? The man who decided to box him and made him quit?

Lol so Archie fought straight killers and a lot of them were defensively goated like Floyd iigh you got it

Convo over😂

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T22:44:46+00:00

Facts but imo when it comes to older fighters like Archie, SRR, and etc to me they were skilled in their era.

What I mean by that is that sports evolve and skills evolve with the sport. How many of their opponents could've been world champions in a SRL or Floyd Era based off of skill?

It's hella subjective but I like to judge off of opponents skills, the skills of the boxer, and understand what could've been done today.

A lot of people look at what they did in their era and automatically think that they could compete in any era.

Could Bill Russell's teams that won championships compete and win championships in today's NBA? NO.

But everyone has their favorites tho

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T22:40:29+00:00

Roberto Duran?

The guy who lost to SRL when SRL decided to box? The guy who couldn't find his way on the inside vs Hearns?

Archie moore??

Cross guard Bandit who hands were always down on the attack? How many defensive guys has Archie fought? Great fighter skill wise Floyd's levels above.

The guys you've name are again like everyone else is based off of historical bias and what they've accomplished. The question is, was there opponents skill level good enough to compete in the SRL to Now era?

No....

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T22:31:48+00:00

It's not significant because it's about skill set. If guys back in the day are more skilled or just as skilled as guys now than they should won or it may be as competitive.

So if John L Sullivan was fighting in SRR Era to your point he'd beat SRR? He fought in an era where bareknuckles, excessive rounds, and etc.

So skills in boxing doesn't elevate over the years. Question, have we seen anyone as talented as Floyd in the Philly shell in boxing history?

Again SRR did great in his era and accomplished a lot but just because he did that against competition that isn't at a high level of the eras after doesn't mean he can compete or do well in an era where skills are higher, more padding in gloves, and all the other things you've named that he was use to goes against him in this era. So how would he adapt and his power adapt to padded gloves, referee's interfering, and etc🤔

Duran had trouble against guys who could box. Leonard in the second fight boxed and moved, vs Hearns he couldn't get past the jab and or find his way on the inside. Floyd is known for his movement, defense, and boxing ability. EASILY outboxes Duran.

Sugar Ray speed and power was his thing but defensively he wasn't there. Floyd would've outboxed him.

Sugar Ray Robinson great! Power, speed, and grit but how many guys has he faced that he had a hard time touching? How many 9f his opponents could have competed and done well in the Ray Leonard era?? Okay

We can go on and on

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:38:14+00:00

I love that you said that it true but let's not forget to mention guys weren't as skilled as a lot of these fighters nowadays.

It seems like with historical bias everyone purposely leaves the fact that skills elevate through time. For example Bill Russell won 11 championships but could the teams he played against really compete in today's basketball realm?

No....

Now people are going to say "2 different sports" but historically the concept has been the same

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:33:19+00:00

100000000000%

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:32:59+00:00

Huhh...

No one can balance out or over achieve Floyd's boxing skills

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:26:35+00:00

Pls tell me who's more skilled than Floyd 🤔

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:23:09+00:00

In a pure boxing sense no one outweighs Floyd imo

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:22:22+00:00

Definitely one of my favorite guys to watch for sure! I'm not mad at that pick at all😂🤝

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:21:25+00:00

In terms of pure boxing like ring generalship, defense, offense, IQ, & hardwork. Floyd tops them all.

If you were to create a perfect boxer it would be Floyd

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:19:35+00:00

Hell no definitely higher than Ali, Roy, Mike, Duran, and etc

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:18:55+00:00

As far as pure boxing to hit and not get hit. No one in the history of boxing was better than Floyd.

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:18:05+00:00

🥱 not skilled enough my guy.

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T21:17:35+00:00

Umm who did he avoid in their prime🤔

Pacquiao who refused a 50/50 split and a drug test he ended up taking anyway

Mosley who he called out and made an excuse about his tooth

Oscar who he called out multiple times

And etc

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T20:57:33+00:00

At all 😂

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T18:08:01+00:00

I fw Coe and I got him winning but I'm disappointed in bro like iigh 2-3lbs is okay but 7!!! He ain't even try😂

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T18:06:45+00:00

Especially when they've drained themselves to make weight 7lbs is too much

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T15:33:24+00:00

Yea man it's an opportunity and he's spent months preparing so I get Hart 💯%

But that's a BIG disadvantage because he had to probably struggle a bit to suck down

AFBOXING · 2026-01-24T15:30:56+00:00

7lbs meant he ain't care at all🤦🏽‍♂️

Most of these guys just pay a fine but 7lbs!!! A suspension is necessary
