message: The first sentence of the article reads "Floyd Joy Mayweather...is an American professional boxer and promoter; widely considered one of the greatest boxers of all time." One rule with semicolons is that they unite two in-sentence clauses that, on their own, could be complete sentences. At Semicolon#Usage, the three relevant examples ("My wife would like tea", etc.) all contain clauses that would work as separate sentences. In this case, "widely considered one of the greatest boxers of all time" has no subject so this construct is grammatically incorrect. The semicolon should be replaced with "who is" although replacing it with a comma or adding "he is" after the semicolon would also work. 2602:306:BC31:4AA0:480B:1D12:4102:2962 (talk) 17:56, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  VS MCREGOR 

message: I recently had a look at the coverage of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight on both the Boxing career of Manny Pacquiao page and this page, and I couldn't help but notice that both pages cover the event very differently. I am not saying either page is wrong or should be fixed, but perhaps some neutral/uninvolved experts on the subject could have a look and try to edit these two sections so that the Wikipedia descriptions of the same event on different pages do not contradict one another? It seems to me that the coverage on the Pacquiao page is clearly favourable to Pacquiao, and this page is favourable to Mayweather. I neither know enough about the fight or the editing conventions for this kind of stuff on Wikipedia to know what to do, but I will write this here and a similar message on the Mayweather page and hopefully the Wikipedia community will be able to sort it out.

message: In Floyd Mayweather’s biography, it should state that he is one of the greatest boxers who ever lived. He deserves that kind of recognition just like the many other fighters who have that recognition in there wikipedia biography.

replies: text: Not done: It states this in the lead:  That seems fine to me, and your source (Sugar Ray Robinson) ranks Mayweather seventeenth, which I mean if anything would be a mark against being "widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time". We don't have many "one of the greatest of all time" sources in this article, and the one you provided doesn't really seem to support that statement.

message: There should be some sort of notice that clarifies the fight had no judges and no official winner was declared - it wasn't an actual draw since it wasn't scored as such (or scored at all).

replies: text: Yes, It should be 50-0 and not 51-0, since it was a draw. There's some bias on both Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather Jr's page. It's showing Floyd Mayweather won, and Logan Paul lost. It was a draw, no official winner and that's how it should be recorded. Unofficial judges are UNOFFICIAL, meaning they have no official say in the matter. Drogge (talk) 05:22, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

message: 1. Under the "Controversies" section, there is a heading that says "2022 Ethereum lawsuit". This is incorrect as the company in question is "EthereumMax" (EMAX), which is not related to the company Ethereum. (Just as an FYI: the only relevance that EMAX has to Ethereum is that it is a token that was created on the Ethereum blockchain, but this is something that is easily done by many other companies, except that EMAX decided to misappropriate the Ethereum name to make themselves sound legit)
2. Accordingly, the information within and under the heading should make reference to "EthereumMax", and not "Ethereum".
3. The token in question is thus "EthereumMax token", and not "Ether".

message: In the section about the McGregor fight, first sentence of the fifth paragraph it states that with that victory Mayweather set "the record for the longest active unbeaten streak in a professional career at 50–0". This statement is given without a citation, and I feel it is wrong and should be removed for the following reasons:
a) The streak is no longer active, as Mayweather is now retired
b) There have been longer unbeaten/ winning streaks in professional boxing, e.g. JCC's 89 fight one
c) If if one argues that the streak is still somehow 'technically active' since it was not ended by a loss but by retirement (and Floyd could un-retire, reactivating the streak), then Ricardo Lopez 52 fight unbeaten streak would still be longer. 94.157.183.38 (talk) 17:48, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
