Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s crappy level of opposition

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Arturo Gatti - Gatti was on the downside of his career. Many PBF detractors called him "shot". But AG then stopped an undefeated Euro champion in his next bout.

Sharmba Mitchell - Sharmba was so terrible as a PBF opponent, that he had lost twice in the previous ten years. Both times to Kostya Tszyu. He was so terrible as an opponent that Paul Williams decided to fight him A YEAR after Floyd did.

Zab Judah - He was so terrible as an opponent that even after fifteen months of inactivity, Miguel Cotto STILL called Zab his toughest opponent and his best win. Zab was so terrible as an opponent that he is CURRENTLY ranked as the #5 welterweight by RING magazine. And #9 by WBA. And #5 by IBF. And #9 by WBO.

Carlos Baldomir - He was so terrible as an opponent that Vernon Forrest chose to fight him a year after Floyd. And at a higher weight. And said that Baldomir was tough. And Vernon couldn't hurt Carlos. Over 12 rounds.


Oscar DeLaHoya - He was so terrible as an opponent, and so washed up that Ricky Hatton wants to fight Oscar next summer - a year after Floyd fought Oscar. Oscar was so terrible as an opponent that he is CURRENTLY ranked as the #3 JMW in the world. After losing to Mayweather. And ranked # 1 by WBC. And #1 by WBO.

And previously, PBF fought guys such as

Castillo - a guy who was 5 years and several losses younger than the version that Ricky Hatton faced.

Corrales - A guy who was ranked top 5 p4p, and went on to get wins over Casamayor, Freitas and Castillo. A top 2-3 guy at LW for YEARS.

Chavez - a perennial top 5 lightweight.

Manfredy - a perennial top five SFW

Corley - a guy who fought Witter for the title last year.

The weak link of opposition on this list is Arturo Gatti....and PBF wiped his ass with Gatti.

Floyd, have I earned the right to put my mouth on your **** for making this thread in your defense?

Please Floyd. Please. Let me put it in my mouth.

I don't undderstand your obsession with PBF. It's getting a bit creepy now.

I personally was overjoyed at Floyd's beating of Manfreddy.

You have made a great contribution here. Cong****.

it's not crappy, it just could be better and floyd is more prone to being bashed b/c he is so loud-mouthed and considered the top p4p guy in the world.

judah was still a top ww contender and baldomir was the real champ. oscar is a formidable test for any1 the size of mayweather. hatton is a good fight.

ive forgiven mayweather for his opposition level from 2003 thru 2005.

I don't undderstand your obsession with PBF. It's getting a bit creepy now.

I am countering the THREE pro-hatton threads created by Azteca and Wiley Hyena last night. All redundant threads addressing PBF's supposedly crappy opposition.

Have you ever noticed how the response to a FACTUAL thread is always "You ****sucker!!"


Interesting.

good points

I think Mitchell is as weak an opponent as Gatti. I never understood giving Floyd hell over the list of opponents, especially since he beat DLH at a higher weight. BUT, you shouldn't turn it around and make that three-year period in Floyd's career look outstanding. It wasn't. It was ok, no real big wins it that time but no real disappointing performances either.

Do you have any tattoo's of Floyd?
