No-one is arguing he is anything other than a cunt.
Yeah thatâs fair enough too. Thatâs entirely his prerogative. But itâs also what sets him apart from the true greats who sought out challenge.
Once again. Who did he duck?

Initially yes. The heroism of Marvin Hagler helped me face up to the reality that I hadnât been identifying with black fightersâ pain as much as white fightersâ pain. Sadly not everyone has had the same Road to Damascus conversion that I have and it remains a very common affliction. They should watch more Hagler fights.
And they say boxing is a bruteâs game. Fair play.

Iâd say in my lifetime which spans Sonny Liston, Floyd Patterson, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard amongst others, Mayweather was the best boxer of the lot. Not the most entertaining, the most brave, or the best warrior but the best boxer, the one who performed the basic rule of the game - hit and donât get hit back - to its utmost

Heâs different level. People put shit on him saying he wasnât a warrior. He was never forced into being one, he is/was that good. whoâd choose to slug it out when youâve the ability to win without resorting to slugging? All and sundry would have loved to drag him into a dogfight but simply couldnât manage to.

Thatâs a good assessment.
I think there is nothing noble about Mayweather,unlike hearns.
Nope you arenât. Youâll recall weâve had this discussion before and I have no inclination not get into one of your endless meaningless respective âdebatesâ. Go tweet Kev if you need an outlet.
Thatâs pretty much what I was trying to say. Fagan said it better. The board seems to be largely ad idem on the point.
What a chickenshit. You really behave like a petulant little child when you have your bullshit called out.
@Tank was bang on about you. Thereâs a racist undertone to your dislike of Mayweather.
Uh huh. Have a lovely evening pal.
Mayweather makes me question what it really means to be noble and what success in sport really means. One thing it means is lots of money.
Well what he did to Ortiz, albeit provoked, was cowardly, but what it took to win a fight he may well have lost. Glory doesnât keep petrol in the jet.
Ah he wouldâve stood Ortiz on his head. âProtect yourself at all timesâ, he couldnât trust Ortiz when offered the hand due to the persistent butting.
Fighters wouldâve done anything to beat Floyd at that time, what if Ortiz whips in a hook just as Floyd was accepting the olive branch? he only wouldve had about 50 million reasons to.
Ortiz was a massive waste of talent, shouldve been an even bigger star, that debacle.
No love for Whitaker in these parts?
