Floyd
Mayweathers legacy
Floyd Mayweather is
coming off a year away from the boxing ring and put on a 12 round boxing clinic
on the overmatched Robert Guerrero to keep his record to a perfect 44-0 with 26
wins by KO. In the fight Mayweather showed off his amazing speed and his legendary
defensive ability as Guerro could barely hit him, and Floyd also used his
lightening quick hands to land numerous blows to Guerro. So where does Floyd
Mayweather rank historically Mayweather himself has said on numerous occasions
that he is the greatest fighter of all time. I wouldn’t go as far as saying mayweather
is the best fighter of all time but he is by far the best fighter of his era
beating numerous champions such as Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Oscar Delahoya, and
Ricky hatton, Cotto, Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez. Mayweather is
recognized as the greatest defensive fighter of all time rarely getting hit
with clean shots and also known for his great ring Kraft and multiple
combination blows. The only things that are so called damaging to Mayweathers
legacy is one the fighters of his era Floyd can fight with his c game stuff an
still come out on top, and the other is so called ‘ducking” opponents as his
critics say he ducked fights with Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacaquio two
fighters who suffered k.o loss to Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez two
fighters Floyd Dominated. I don’t believe Floyd is the best fighter of all
time, but it isn’t a stretch to have him in consideration I would put him in the same
category in the top 7 with the great Sugar
Ray Leonard who said this about Floyd “He is the epitome of a champion”.
