Mayweather is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter. Nobody can nor would be able to imitate his style and his ring generalship, not even the likes of technicians such as Lomachenko. One of the best to step in the ring.

People that say floyd is running is the people they wants to see him stand and slug. He's just to technical. Why fight a fighter where he's strong. Fight him where he's weak a fighter wants you to stang and trade punches do the opposite. And floyd was just a master at changing technique for different fighters

[@saltedllama2759]

Most boxing fans (and sports fans in general) are the lowest common denominator, beer-swilling-blue-collar-mouth-breathers. And I mean every word of that. They don't know what they are watching, from the military-precision of an NFL play unfolding, to a boxing technical genius like Floyd. That's why sports are marketed to them in particular, because it's easy to get their attention, their emotions, and their money. The average fans often associate defensive brilliance with "getting on the bicycle and running away" when it isn't. Floyd sets traps, counter-punches, but also has good lead offense. As his right hand broke down later in his career, he had to change some things, but it didn't stop him from being the best in the business.

I think this is arguably the greatest performance anyone has ever given in a professional boxing match. I'm not even a fan of the guy but Floyd is the GOAT, it's undeniable. The game of boxing is hit your man and make him miss, nobody was better than Floyd at that, and I don't think anyone really comes close.

[@fredericopinto2943]

Sugar Ray Robinson in the 1940s was untouchable at welterweight, no one could stop his offense or hit him much, but sadly his fights were never filmed this early on or haven't survived. Only a 29-40 year old Robinson from like 1951 onward exists on film and he was STILL kicking arse in his mid to late 30s. On film perhaps a 1964-1967 Ali or a 1985-1988 Tyson matches Floyd's "hit/ not get hit" talent combination. Floyd defensively is the best no doubt. Tyson's KO leverage was scary insane, but Ali was a 210 pound Sugar Ray Robinson who would jab you to complete death while dancing around like a bunny. That;s why Ali is number one. Both were heavyweights as well so they get more shine than Floyd.

[@bim69]

@@fredericopinto2943 not sure how you can put Ali above Floyd. Ali is absolutely an all time great but he was defeated, multiple times. He took bad punishment especially towards the end of his career

[@fredericopinto2943]

​@@bim69 Ali from 1964-1967 I put up against any heavyweight that ever lived. He would've held the title until at least 1975-76 had the government not banned him from boxing. Louis, Tyson, Foreman. They all would lose to that Ali. Ali would dance for 15 rounds and just nail you constantly with that insane long jab. Any fighter would have closed eyes by the 10th round. Floyd isn't even the best Welterweight that ever lived, We all know that was Sugar Ray Robinson. I'm not saying it wouldn't be close, but Sugar Ray is the number 1 P4P fighter of all time for a reason. I put Floyd 3rd behind Sugar Ray and Ali on that list. The losses Ali suffered was after he lost that speed and he still had the chin and skill to beat Foreman at 33 years old. Floyd didn't have a KO in his last 11 fights except against a UFC fighter and that cheap shot vs Ortiz. Look it up. I think Floyd's lack of KO power for the last 13 years of his career just can't put him above my top 2. Floyd really peaked after the Gatti fight. If he retires right there the argument might be different. Maybe. Floyd had too many decisions late in his career when he coasted on his amazing defense not putting himself at risk all offensively to protect his perfect record. Rocky Marciano went 49-0 and was KOing everyone he faced even in his last fight vs Archie Moore. Now that;s a perfect record. Just sayn.

This was Mayweathers prime. His reflexes were at there best. His hands were still pretty good. allowing him to punch without hesitation. Speed and legs were in top form. Corner was free of melodrama. Gatii was finished at this point and should have taken his money and retired after this fight. The last 3 fights after this ended in KO and probably led to CTE and other problems ending his life too early.

watch more boxing, aint no way he was the most complete fighter. Most defensive fighter then you have an argument there.

[@superjoseco7279]

​@@Daniel-yj1fb You should watch and learn more about boxing. That's the opinion of Teddy Atlas, Bob Arum, Joe Rogan, and myself, cause apparently I know much more than you do . These guys know more than you, by far. Lomachenko has a very good balance of both, offensive and defensive. He takes risks, and doesn't run as Floyd like a headless chicken. You are probably an African American. African Americans, can't stand a white boxer to be better, but guess what, it is happening in all the divisions. Watch more boxing, and you'll learn. Mexicans, and white guys( including Russians) are reigning, in all the divisions. Think well, before you make a comment. This is the last thing I will tell you, and then I will block you. I like to communicate with people that understand boxing. You don't.

The difference between Crawford and Floyd is: People knew Floyd fought names but they just wanted to see him lose. Whereas crawford he was fighting nobodies(except a damaged spence) and we knew he was gonna win.

[@favianpliego559]

Floyd cried like that because he could believe how easily he beat Gatti. It was such an unbelievable performance Mayweather himself couldn’t contain his emotions. This is truly one of boxings greatest fighters. Sure Floyd had great performances up to this point but this one the one that made him THE Floyd we know of today.

By far Floyd’s best performance and one of the most dominant performances in boxing history. Brilliant foot work, extremely fast hands and quick reflexes. Gatti was a human punching bag just like Floyd predicted he would be pre-fight.

[@user-sg8kq7ii3y]

@@callakracker The difference is that Gatti was no longer in his prime when he fought Floyd. But it wouldn't have mattered. Floyd would have torn apart a prime Gatti just as easily. But both Corrales and Floyd were in their primes when they fought. Corrales was undefeated; he was a world champion, and he was considered one of the pound-for-pound the best in the world.
