What do you think Floyd Mayweather's legacy will be?

[@mardank7364]

TBE!

[@yoshaq3077]

IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION 50-0 TBE

[@princesmith10]

ESPN GOAT 🐐

[@felipecortez9998]

Top 10 all time.

[@Blessedmillion]

ESPN TBE ...GOAT

[@sayyid5869]

He's beat 22 world champions out of 50 fights, he's took the least damage and the most money, he made hall of fame boxers look like amateurs, he is top 10 p4p boxing list, 10-20 years from this date people will realise they were lucky to see a legend like him

[@ALoadOfDucks]

Omar El sayed you can't be a legend if youve knocked out more women than fighters in the ring.

[@sayyid5869]

J Black lol watch pretty boy Floyd and then tell me he didn't like to go toe to toe, your a casual stay in your lane buddy.

[@sayyid5869]

David Page shut up bro about the women beating claims they are no photos and even the accusers Denies it now, we strictly talking about in the ring not personal problems.

[@sayyid5869]

J Black every boxer fights nobodies in the start of their career so stop it please, Floyd fought the best of the best in his time and lol you are the casual😂😂😂.

[@sayyid5869]

J Black don't mean shit, we don't know the full story there's Floyd story too, your just a sad little bitch with no money in Their bank account and probally used to get bullied in school, grfoh and go comment on somebody else's comment

[@waynemazique6556]

SAS won't count this as 50 - 0. But would have counted a loss as 49 - 1. In what world does this make sense?

[@MrCapsMan]

Wayne Mazique SAS viewed it as Floyd having 0% chance of losing and 100% chance of winning...so 49-1 was never a possibility.

[@waynemazique6556]

MrCapsMan I would have no problem with that argument if SAS didn't give Connor "a punchers chances". Then he praises Connor after the fight as if he actually did well. SAS can't have it both ways. Just another way to take from the GREATS and give to the FAKES.

[@Devine3190]

People say he fought Pacquiao too late, yet Floyd is older than Pacquiao... how does that make sense?

[@Devine3190]

StanDaughenbaugh2.0 If he was past his prime that also means Flyod is even further past his prime, do you have a brain?

[@BigBoss7777777]

@@Devine3190 well you're clearly a simpleton with a one dimensional brain that can't think beyond counting numbers. Pacquiao is an offensive fighter relying on speed, age is a much larger factor due to his fighting style. Mayweathers defensive style is far less susceptible to age.

[@DarknessFlameMedia]

@dboyBR225 That's why Pac was past his prime that's why he waited. It's the same thing with lennox lewis waited til Tyson was well past his prime

[@Tenz220]

@@BigBoss7777777 honestly it is easier to be an offensive fighter when you get older cuz your reflexes dull over time.Reflex is the first thing to go as you go past your prime. So floyds defense would suffer more than pacs offense.

[@grinchoi1]

I don't think it was about age. Fighters peak and have their primes at different ages. I think it was about fighting Pacquiao at his boxing peak. Pacquiao wasn't as good of a fighter by the time he had faced him. That being said I think Floyd is easily the greatest boxer of his generation and a toss up for being p4p the greatest ever

[@krogansrus5467]

Floyd is the best boxer of my time. Greatest defensive boxer!

Floyd Haters are Sad AF Mayweather is no doubt the Greatest defensive Fighter of all time and has one of the highest Boxing IQ's in history Floyd won multiple titles in different weight classes Always in great shape Never cheated Perfect 50-0 record Has probably the greatest promotion in history I feel honor watching Floyd

Well said

[@kelvinv8017]

Kawhi GOAT i agree, he has one of the highest iq in boxing history and he chooses his opponent wisely, lol He is one of the greatest but will never be the GOAT.

[@ThaCaliEnigma]

mister sapsap He fought and beat elite boxers.

[@impactpalm8709]

he is one of the greatest and the smartest fighter ever. He played boxing and boxing didn't play him. But that 'never cheated" line is complete bullshit. If boxing was honest, or if he was in the 90's and just out of vegas.. his record is actually 47-3.

[@marathonog813]

Lil Dagga Or they just have an opinion that you can't handle. Lol

[@pinkindiansunflower]

Colin Edelman He's not 1 either. He's not above Ali, Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Henry Armstrong, or Willie Pep. He's top 15, possibly top 10. But Ali and Sugar Ray are the top 2 GOATs.

[@rick_santana]

I don't take SAS serious anymore.

[@sbz1234]

I think he lost a big bet on fight night so he still salty.

[@curtismynameheard4628]

rick santana he lost me

[@coolzhowful]

sbz1234 stephen a isn't stupid enough to bet on macgregor unless he thought the fight was rigged cmon bro

[@jeremybrown9611]

Lest be real it was an exhibition match. They went through the process so it can be taken more seriously. We know Conor didn't stand a chance, but that's one of the richest L's I've ever seen someone take. So I get what SAS is saying but it's still an official W on Floyd's Pro record!

[@sbz1234]

When did i say Mcgregor?? I said he lost a big bet - like Floyd in the 6th round. Watch his interview with Floyd after the fight, dude looked salty and askin May why didnt you finish him earlier..... just saying

[@eldio2124]

You say he fought pacquiao out of his prime but he is and was older than pacquiao. These excuses just make me sick

[@yoshaq3077]

FACTS

[@legoatjames8363]

Nobody wants to mention he wanted to fight Pac in 2009 but Pac wouldn't take a drug test

[@trill4177]

Exactly

[@RevanLaughs]

Sponge Gar nobody mentioned that Floyd got a TUE for an IV that he shit on Conor for supposedly having, and he also got injections in his hands that he refused Manny to get in his injured shoulder. "Easy" money when you break the rules that others have to follow eh?

Nobody wanted to fight prime Floyd everyone avoided him. He's beat the most world champions. 5 different weight classes. Never lost. Never been down officially. Changed from an offensive fight to the best defensive fighter mid career. Can throw every kind of shot in the book. Speed accuracy and timing is second to none not to mention his natural reflexes. It's about time ppl give the man the credit he deserves. When it comes to being in that ring there is nobody better. TBE

[@raven062000]

Enough with the "carefully selected opponents" nonsense. I'm not the biggest Mayweather fan, but Sugar Ray Leonard said that he wanted the rematch with Duran because he was out of shape. He didn't fight Hagler until the end of his career. Also, Aaron Pryor called him out numerous times and never got the fight. Yet, Sugar Ray is considered one of the best all time. btw, De la hoya waited years before he finally accepted Floyd's challenge. It was good business.

[@magnifmusiq6114]

Max knows way more about boxing than SAS

[@MrBrightSide77]

Stephen A Smith brought up a good point. Floyd stopped knocking out people when he moved up in weight because now he was fighting guys who were his size or bigger. But when Pacquiao moved up weights and stopped knocking out fighters people automatically assumed he was on peds earlier! Wtf! Floyd started his career at super featherweight and jumped up to 4 weight class higher. Now Pacquiao started as a FLYWEIGHT! A Flyweight! And moved up to 8 weight classes and won title in all weight classes. It's like Floyd going upto light heavyweight or cruiserweight and winning titles. How can you expect Pacquiao who is naturally a very small guy to knock out guys at light middleweight and welterweight?! Dude's been fighting bigger guys his entire career.

[@conor1382]

[@bigweezo2341]

the only knocks people have on mayweather are either he "runs" or something related to his personal life, nobody can flat out deny him being one of the best ever

[@nedzhminedkov1159]

Floyd has fought the most World Champs in Boxing History, but still people talk shit about him not fighting anyone it's insane man. While Manny was actually the one who was selecting his fights purposely to win them Floyd was fighting Champ after Champ. No doubt he is the best boxer of his generation and top 5 pound for pound no doubt

[@SuperDok1]

Mayweather played his career so smart. He admitted that he knew when to delay and when to pounce. No one in history would remember it, and probably in the future they would not bring it up, but when Pacman was at his prime, Floyd delayed fighting him. He knew when to delay knowing that Pacman's style of speed and power does not age well as compared to his defensive style of boxing. We respect the record, 50-0, but to those who were really observant at that time, on the things that had happened in the past, we can all agree with Floyd in saying that indeed "He was smart" and He knew when to pounce on Pacquiao just at the right time Money wise and Boxing wise. It took him 5 years to fight Pacquiao but no one would remember that, all we would talk about is how he "schooled" pacquiao when they fought.

[@zbib43]

Miko but when he wanted to fight pacquaio in like 09, pac ain't wanna take a drug test cous he was a fucking juicehead

[@alexzamora4454]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is top 3 all time, regardless of last Saturday. Floyd is top 3 man, give the man his respect. His way of hitting and not get hit is something nobody had ever seen before and will never be replicated ever again. He played the game of boxing, the sweet science and made it his game to a level that everybody knew regardless whether you liked him or not, you knew he wasn't going to lose.

[@LouiePizzle]

lol fought pacman to late but Canelo to early? lol fucking serious lol even tho b4 he took the Canelo fight everyone was saying he'd be to scared & wont fight a young guy in his prime, but when he beat him easily "oh he was to young" lmaoo Fought Pac to late even tho he's older then Manny. He called out Oscar & Mosley when he was younger but couldn't get the fight because he wasn't a draw at the time lol. Funny I don't hear ppl say that about Pacman who fought Oscar, Hatton, & Mosley after Floyd did aka when they were older lol.

[@aceboogie4001]

No one has brought this up, but go back to the part where they are showing may and mcgreg in the dressing rooms....look at the hand wraps on Floyd vs that of Connors. They are literally twice if not 3 times the size of Connors, also look at how his knuckles protrude so far from his actual hand. Then also notice how fast his hand wraps are gone after the fight before the interviews in the ring. I know hand wraps are going to vary according to the corner men, but geez would it vary that badly? Just thought someone woulda picked up on those small details by now.

[@joseantoniosotorodriguez4819]

Max Kellerman won't let go of that bias HBO agenda even when on ESPN smh. Here the guy just downplays Floyd's accomplisments by saying that Floyd just easily turned on a "low risk, high reward button". It wasn't easy for Mayweather to get where he is at. Everyone loves to forget that before Oscar De La Hoya he was a low reward, high risk fighter. For christ sake there's even video of Shane Mosley saying his teeth hurt when asked about fighting Mayweather, even with a lot of fighters ducking him he still managed to build a pretty solid resume with wins over though guys like Chicanito Hernandez, Angel Manfredy, Jose Luis Castillo x2. Diego Corrales, Chop chop Corley, Gatti. Judah etc. Floyd Mayweather Jr was basically begging for a big fight. He let Oscar De La Hoya pick everything for their fight, from ring size to weight and glove size everything was picked by the Golden Boy himself. Floyd still beat him in a great fight. That's when Floyd became the cash cow and all of sudden everyone and their momma wanted to fight him. Now about the Money Mayweather era, you could say he carefully choose his opponents but still, he beat an undefeated Hatton, went toe to toe with Cotto at Junior Middleweight, gave Canelo his first and only loss and basically just made it look easy against elite fighters like Mosley, Marquez, Pacquiao etc...Floyd Mayweather Jr is an ATG and what Max Kellerman says in this video is pure disrespect to a legend. I wish Stephen would of put him on his place

N.W.A. the opposite is more true. You like mayweather but hate connor and only because he is white doing what Floyd does. They both made a bunch of money and can't hate on them for that. Floyd did make him look like somebody who took a self defense class and thought they could fight.

THE GREATEST BOXER OF ALL TIME

[@v.p3195]

Top 5 boxer of all time and it's not debatable!!!

[@bornwithgoal]

His own legacy was a successfuly convert fighters into a phillyshell businessman

[@duc2133]

Max is right. Ali was hated for a long time.

[@trustplanet]

He's the greatest ever. No one is better

[@bryantalcorn1034]

He's the best ever!

[@aaronam0115]

He’s controversial. If you like watching a ring magician who focuses on defense, he’s your guy. If you like watching interesting fights that make you drop your jaw in absolute awe, he and Wlad Klitschko are the last fighters you’d ever wanna watch

[@1p4p_akqb99]

TBE, to never lose at world level we may never see that shit again

[@Cagon415]

Aaaaaand this is why context is important. Max has hated on Floyd for years. That "old" Marquez put Pacquiao to sleep a few years later. Pacquiao couldn't even catch a 40 year old Mosley. Most of you in the comments don't remember the attempted negotiations for any of these fights. You wanted Floyd to lose. He didn't so people get emotional and start making shit up. You can fool these new booties, but I remember all of it. And none of you were around for any of it. You can't act like Floyd was the only one choosing fights. That's how all of boxing has worked since at least the 90s.

In my opinion, Mayweather's Is the greatest of all time. The things he achieved in boxing is nearly impossible to do and no boxer has never came close to do so. And I don't think no boxers will ever achieve what Floyd Achieved, because the game is getting tougher and it takes a lot of disciplines to be like Floyd.

[@jflip31]

Only bystanders complain of when he fought certain fighters...give him credit...

[@houstonrockets6768]

Top 3 all time to me !

[@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55]

I think people are harsh on him when they say he was selective. First of all it was probably be logistically impossible to fight everyone at their prime, there's too much crossover in career paths. Take the Manny fight, Floyd is older, his style might have aged better but Manny was still beating good fighters like Bradley and Vargas after the Floyd fight. Cotto was with Top Rank and they wouldn't do business with Floyd then, as soon as Cotto got out of Top Rank, the fight happened. Mosley was ranked no.1 at WW at the time Floyd fought him after Mosley destroyed Margarito, many said Floyd wouldn't fight Mosley but he did and stopped him. Victor Ortiz was coming off a win over an undefeated well regarded Berto at the time and was WBC champ. He got Canelo early, maybe, but it was actually Canelo's team who pursued that fight and even wanted it at 152, yet Floyd gets flack for it. And the list goes on really...those were just ones later in Floyd's career.

[@freekodak3387]

There's no way the "Biggest Fight of All Time" is just an exhibition

[@clicklink123]

Floyd is the greatest boxer ever. Perhaps that is what makes him so boring. Fighters just throws calculated punches...Floyd calculated fights. I do hate his style because it was boring but I can't take anything away from a man that is undefeated. He came, he conquer, and he left a champion. He didn't fought anyone, he calculated the defeat of every fighter he met in the boxing arena. He was the world greatest boxer not because power, not because speed, and not because will. He was the greatest because in the heat of battle he was a calm anchor who stuck to the strategy to win. I don't think many can disagree with that.

[@prophetd6128]

He just the greatest defensive fighter thats it top fighters dont duck any fighters

[@alishaeed6608]

Ali is the greatest boxer ever. Not even up for discussion
