Funny how it is reported that Menayothin broke Mayweather’s récord and quickly discredit him by saying all wins in Thailand.
That means something!!! You gotta win in America. There will always be questions until you beat the best U.S. has to offer.
What about Floyd? He N E V E R left US soil, nor the state of Nevada [ because he needed to inject Xlyocaine in both fists ]. Come on. The exhibition in Dec 2018 does not count. And Floyd is the O N L Y boxer in history to wait out a high risk rival for 6 calendars. And pay an out-of-court settlement to said rival for defamation because he didn’t desire to compete against said rival until he
[ Floyd ] felt comfortable.
Yeah, even Tyson Fury, with so few world championship fights and weak opposition is better as a world champ as he got all his world championship belts as a visitor in hostile lands if we can put it that way.
Ricardo Lopez retired with 51-0. Floyd Mayweather retired with 50-0. I don’t know what you are talking about guys.
Lopez had a draw too
well a draw is NOT a loss and the records state……..undefeated am I correct? that would mean without a loss…………
you are exactly right and its funny how the Boxing commentators don’t speak of it
im wondering if the little Thai goes the distance will the judges somehow see it for his opponent? remember the Loss Roman Chocolatito Gonazales took against Rungvisai in their first fight I know it was close but I still had Chocolatito winning if he had won that there would have been NO rematch and NO KO loss and well you never know
You have to admire a guy who is prepared to put his long unbeaten record on the line vs such a dangerous opponent
