48 wins or 87 wins, which sounds more impressive to you? Rhetorical questions aside, to think that Mayweather honestly sees himself as the greatest fighter of all time is ludicrous and slightly delusional.
The pro-Mayweather fans are quick to shout these stats from the rooftop but they seem to forget one major factoid: Chavez went undefeated for 87 bouts before suffering a loss. With his victory of Pacquiao his record is 48 victories with no losses. Mayweather’s ultimate goals seems to be retaining his “undefeated” status up until the time when he decides to retire. One of the largest comparisons being made in regards to Mayweather’s status as one of the greats is Julio Cesar Chavez. At this point the majority of boxing fans are likely tuning into his fights, and paying the heinously high pay-per-view fee linked to those fights, in the hopes of seeing him get knocked off of his feet and deflated of all of this hot air. Chances are relatively high that Mayweather knows how loathed he is, and he is riding that wave of anger all the way to the bank. His antics outside of the ring are well known, and his constant verbal dysentery ranging from his own supposed greatness to the overall shabbiness of combat sports as we know it. He is not even close to be the greatest of all time, and we have no reason to be surprised with how the fight between him and Pacquiao went.įirst off, we all know that “Money” Mayweather is not a good person. The sad truth, ladies and gentlemen, is that Mayweather is not worth all of this attention. Pacquiao we have been bombarded with justifications for each fighter, along with excuses and sob stories, and the resounding supposed universal truth that Floyd Mayweather is the best pound for pound fighter of all time.
