Historians, however, will care about his entire career, and not just the fights that clowns on message boards like to point out when they take cheap shots at him.
So, from that perspective, 40 years from now, boxing historians will look back on Floyd's fights at 130 with Genaro Hernandez, Angel Manfredy, Justin Juuko, Emmanuel Augustus, Diego Corrales, Carlos Hernandez and Jesus Chavez as classic examples of a great boxer displaying his superior skill against high-quality opponents, some of whom went on to win world championships after Mayweather beat them.
Historians will look back on Floyd's FIRST fight at 135 against the best fighter in the division, Jose Luis Castille, and use it as an example of a great fighter overcoming adversity. They will look back at his fight with Arturo Gatti and view it as Floyd's willingness to engage in a toe-to-toe slugfest against a fellow champion. They will look back at his fight with Zab Judah and say that it demonstrated that he was capable of defeating a high-quality fighter with the same type of hand speed that Floyd had. They will look back at his fight with Carlos Baldomir and say that he was willing to fight a bigger opponent that some boxing observers (Jim Lampley and Larrry Merchant) thought would be able to bully Floyd and hand him his first loss. They will look back at his fight with Oscar De La Hoya and use it as an example of how a superior fighter fighting at a disadvantage (fighting at De La Hoya's preferred weight and having De La Hoya pick his gloves for him) can still win. Historians will look back at his fight with Alvarez and wonder with awe how a man who is 37 and seven years past his prime can school a 23 year-old world champion in his prime. Historians will also look back on his career and remember, unlike the clowns who post these idiotic threads on this site, that three fighters that he went on to fight after he became the number one attraction in the world (Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton) actually turned down fights with him when he was in his prime at lower weight classes.
What historians will not remember is all the useless posts like this one posted on boxing message boards that, 40 years from now, no one will give a damn about.
