I am not an expert in boxing but I like to watch it since I am a kid… I have to say that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the most impressive boxer I have seen fight since the Leonard Hagler era in the late 80’s. Like my friend Chris from NO MAS said, people will look back in 10 years and said he was as good as Muhammad Ali. He might not be as political and popular and for sure he is a pretentious asshole but you can’t deny that he is the best boxer in the game right now. By winning last night against Hatton via a 10th-round KO, he brought his record to 40 Wins, 0 Losses, 25 KOs If these numbers dosen’t speak to you, he also won an estimated $50 million just in 2007… Make it Rain!!!!

Not only is Floyd IgNANT but not as great as one would compare to the greats. I mean I can give it to him for all his accomplishments but come on, Hatton is the first real fighter to really bring it to pretty boy Im mean “Money”. His whole style is punch and grab… you call that great, you hit your head on a tumbuckle!
Hatton’s the one that’s notorious for punching then clinching.
Hatton had an std on his lip.
He didn’t “bring” anything. He got knocked out smooth off.
Hatton’s like the Spurs.
Skilled but with stink style.
Ali?? Please bro. Mayweather is more like a new version of that weasel Pernell Whitaker. Yes, he’s fast and accurate, but he packs zero punch, loves to clinch, cheat, complain and runs around the ring more than Camacho. If he was so great he wouldn’t be avoiding Cotto like the plague.
I have to agree on the Cotto one…
Sugar Ray Robinson is the G.O.A.T!!! (pound-for-pound)
i’m just another idiot on the internet with a half-baked opinion, but if men like Bert Sugar say that its Sugar Ray, thats what i listen to.
peace
Yes, Sugar Ray Robinson!! Willie Pep, Kid Gavilan, Joe Louis, Carmen Basilio, Jake LaMotta, Jack Dempsey, Salvador Sanchez, Alexis Arguello, Julio Cesar Chavez, Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Wifredo Benitez, Floyd Patterson, Rocky Marciano… These are some of the GREATS.

Hatton hit his head on the turnbuckle, WWF steeze. Fight of the year-even better than Pavlik vs. Taylor.
Floyd may be ig’NANT but he’s got the skills to back it. Mr. Grotesk, you should take away that question mark after greatest. Then print it on 6xl tees. I’d buy two.
