Ahhh yes, but that is also where competing in the current era helped him greatly. In previous eras, boxers fought more frequently. Therefore, had Mayweather boxed in a previous era, his career would not have lasted anywhere near as long. He would be remembered as a very talented guy who had hand problems, rather than a boxer with incredible longevity. He was made for the era in which he boxed in. Which in my opinion didn't have the talent of some of the eras that came before it, and didn't punish a lack of durability as unduly. Is he an all-time great? Certainly. But he isn't as great as most think he is imo. Edited June 7, 2021 by jimufctna24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using that as an example of Manny’s list of wins not exactly being without flaws itself. Was just pointing out that you can find issues with anyone’s record if you look long enough People expected ODH to massacre Manny. It was only afterwards that it became clear that ODH was finished. Nevertheless, I don't consider Pacquiao to be the GOAT or anywhere close to it either. So a lot of what I have said about Mayweather, also applies to Manny.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should read back over the last few pages in this thread. More entertaining than the actual fight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
