| pokoko said: He's kind of right but it's not really Mayweather's fault. Most people measure the greatest fighters by who they've beaten. Unfortunately, this era of boxing isn't producing many stars, which makes it next to impossible to rank Mayweather accurately. The list of Hall of Fame guys that Sugar Ray Robinson or Muhammad Ali beat (and lost to) is impressive. Where does that leave Mayweather, though? De La Hoya, Hatton, Pacquiao? That's really not all that impressive in any kind of historical context. Mosley earned his match but we all know he was on the downside of his career (after having ducked Mayweather previously when Floyd was the one looking to make a name for himself). Of the guys he did not fight, which he supposedly ducked, are any of them significant? Casamayor, Margarito, Williams? Not even. So, yeah, he probably won't be considered a "Top Ten Greatest Ever" fighter by most people but there really wasn't a lot he could have done about it. The funny thing here, though, is that De La Hoya just completely dissed himself. |
Dissed himself? How do you interpret it this way?
