Roberto Duran is one of the greatest lightweights of all time
He has had what 119 fights…
But he also fought 27 fights above 135
Meaning that’s 4.4 % of his career he didn’t fight at Lightweight or under lightweight
Here is the question when history Judges Duran do you think the historians are going to judge him on 96.1 % on his career or on that 4.4% ????
Alexis Arguello is one of the greatest Superfeather Weights of all time he has had 90 fights but 10 of them were at 135 and up… meaning 9%...
Here is the question again when history Judges Arguello do you think the historians are going to judge him on 91% on his career or on that 9%????
Sugar Ray Leonard is one of the greatest WelterWeights of all time he has had 40 total fights
But 8 fights were above 147 meaning 5%
Here is the question again when history Judges Leonard do you think the historians are going to judge him on 95 % on his career or on that 5%????
Now We Have
Floyd Mayweather who is the one of the greatest Superfeather Weights of all time he has had 39 fights in which 31 Fights at 140 and under and 8 fights at 154 and under which is 4.8%
Once again Here is the question again when history Judges Mayweather do you think the historians are going to judge him on 95.2 % on his career or on that 4.8%????
I would hope that answer to my question from all you guys, would be that history will judge these fighters on what they did with the majority of their career..but if not
This is what I am talking about when I speak on double standards….No other fighter is judge on a fraction of his career like Mayweather is…. Should a big part of Roberto Duran career be base on his loses to William Joppy, Hector Camacho, or Robbie Sims at middleweight when he fought most of his career at lightweight????
Of Course Not.
But the way these boards react to a possible
PBF vs. JMM or PBF vs.Pacquaio or PBF vs. Hatton fight…
You would think Floyd was a career weltherweight…When he was a weltherweight he was the smallest one in the division…Can somebody name 1 welterweight Floyd was bigger than when he was in the division..???
So When people say Floyd needs to beat a real WW and stop fighting on smaller guys?
They say that like Floyd 1st or 2nd division was WW and he has been fighting Small guys his whole Career....
Context
The WW Division
Cotto's: 2nd Division
Margarito's: 2nd Division
Shane Mosley: 3rd Division
Andre Berto: 2nd Division (1st:160)
Joshua Clottey:1st Division
Kermit Cintron: 1st Division
Paul Williams:2nd Division (1st:160)
CarlosQuintana:1st Division
Floyd Mayweather 4th Division
The WW Division
Cotto's: 2nd Division
Margarito's: 2nd Division
Shane Mosley: 3rd Division
Andre Berto: 2nd Division (1st:160)
Joshua Clottey:1st Division
Kermit Cintron: 1st Division
Paul Williams:2nd Division (1st:160)
CarlosQuintana:1st Division
Floyd Mayweather 4th Division
If you say Mayweather has grown into the Welther weight division even though that is his 4th Division
PLease Answer this Direct Question:
1.If Mayweather Has grown into a Natural WW, What Have the Other Fighters who have been in the WW division Grown into if that is their 1st or 2nd Division..?
or do you think that Mayweather is the only fighter who Grows in the Division?
(w.a.w)= Walk around Weight
Floyd Mayweather 4th Division (w.a.w) = 150
Cotto's: 2nd Division (w.a.w) = 170
Margarito's: 2nd Division (w.a.w) = 174
Shane Mosley: 3rd Division (w.a.w) = 165
Andre Berto: 2nd Division (w.a.w)= 164
Joshua Clottey:2nd Division (w.a.w)= 170
Kermit Cintron: 1st Division (w.a.w)= 160-162
Paul Williams:2nd Division(w.a.w)= 165
Carlos Quintana:1st Division(w.a.w)= 163
Goggle: Fighter Name Walk around Weight
Floyd Mayweather seem like the only unnatural ww in the division to me...when he was their... and the smallest...
So what is this obession with him fighting guys in a division which is his 4th and it is their first of 2nd.. If he never cared for the division, and that is not his natural weight?
96% of Mayweather career has been at 135 and under...96% !!!!
what does that meaned to you guys????
Floyd vs. Pacquaio are closer in Size then 98% of the welterweight division
Floyd vs. Hatton are closer in Size 98% of the welterweight division
Floyd vs. JMM are closer in Size 98% of the welterweight division
So you can say that you think that Floyd is too skilled for fighters his own size..but please dont say he should fight real ww's, when he himself is not a real welterweight...!! 96% career proves that!!
