conor what is your take on Mayweather as a fighter ? not how you rate him as a person or his approach to the sport, just as a fighter, if he fought Pac in their primes or if he fought what you would consider a live fighter what do you think the outcome would be ? not trying to start a debate or being funny but you obviously like your boxing so interested in your take on it
Purely on Boxing ability he's the most talented of his generation and I'd have him beating virtually anyone from the last 20 years at 147, which is why it annoys me when he doesn't take any risks. He puts himself out of contention to be rated amongst the all time best.

Conor just think Money if he stays standing up would get a points win ala Alexander did over Matthysse. Matthysse has said he needs to KO people to get wins as he cant rely on getting the decision on the cards. Money may well box the head off him but it would be a great fight to see.
You dont rate Alexander either Conor or was that someone else. I look at the wins he had since Tim Bradley beat him and he has points wins over Matthysse and Maidana who have 62 KOs between them also even to some extent Randall Bailey who has 37 kos to his name too. I think Alexander is under rated and has boxed some good live treats apart from Bailey who was finished in my opionion. Also the fight with Kell Brook if it went on would of been him fighting 3 hard hitting bangers out of 4 fights. No wonder he was linked to a Money fight in my view.
I missed the Naz interview last night as well I hope they should it again after ringside tonight or over the weekend before the Froch fight with Kessler. I got a feeling Froch to win by KO but if it goes the distance something is saying for a Kessler win to me.
I think Floyd/Matthyse would be a good fight like you, I just don't think the fight will ever materialize.
Nah I don't rate Alexander and the decision he got over Matthyse was a joke, he was completely outclassed. Even the Kotelnik fight he was lucky to get away with the decision.
I watched the Naz interview. He was saying he was 2 stone overweight 8 weeks before the Barrera fight, then when he got to Vegas a couple of days before the fight he was still massively overweight so he had to get up in the middle of the night to train in the days before the fight.
