Is this enough to be called the best pound for pound fighter? Especially when he was consider the best fighter before he fought Ricky Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya.
So much talk that Manny Pacquiao fighting Ricky Hatton is only getting Floyd Mayweathers left overs, but hasn't Mayweather been feeding off others fighters left overs for the most part. Especially since he went up to fight in the 140 weight class and over.
Review some of Floyd Mayweather opponents.
Sharmba Mitchell - was knocked out by Kostya Tszyu then fought a fighter that came from a knockout lost to then face Floyd Mayweather
Zap Judah - came from a lost to then fight Mayweather. The fighter Judah lost to had nine loses. Judah had also faced Kostya Tszyu.
Ricky Hatton - was undefeated, but came from a having a bad showing against Luis Collazo(145lbs) a fight many people saw him lose. Before facing Mayweather, Hatton faced Jose Luis Castillo at 140lbs and Juan Urango. Hatton went up in weight after already having a bad showing near the weight of 147.
Oscar De La Hoya- Before fighting Mayweather De La Hoya had fought a tough fight vs Shane Mosley, Felix Sturm, Bernard Hopkins. Then fought Ricardo Mayorga who had been destroyed by Tito Trinidad. Still Floyd didn't came up in the right weight which would be more of an advantage in speed.
Arturo Gatti - Had been knocked out before. He had three wars vs Micky Ward and was knocked out by a younger Oscar De La Hoya. Atleast 4 years younger than when floyd had faced him.
DeMarcus Corley - just before fighting Floyd Mayweather DeMarcus Corley came froma lost to Zap Judah.
Jose Luis Castillo - One of Mayweather better opponents, but still had been knockout four previously times.
Diego Corales - Perhaps Mayweather first biggest challenge, but floyd didn't stick around to face Joel Casamayor.
Some of these fighters came from loses, wars and some had been knockout.
How many great caliber opponents has Mayweather fought at 140lbs and over? How many undefeated fighter has he faced? Comparisons.
Miguel Cotto- Antonio Margarito-Shane Mosley-Zab Judah-Carlos Quintana (was undefeated)-Paul Malignaggi(was undefeated)-Ricardo Torres(was undefeated)-Gianluca Branco. Miguel Cotto has faced 5 undefeated fighters.
Antonio Margarito- Shane Mosley-Miguel Cotto(was undefeated)-Kermit Cintron(was undefeated)-Paul Williams(was undefeated)-Joshua Clottey-Daniel Santos. Antonio Margarito has faced 5 undefeated boxers.
Shane Mosley- Ricardo Mayorga-Miguel Cotto(was undefeated)- Luis Collazo-Fernando Vargas-Winky Wright-Oscar De La Hoya-Vernon Forrest(was undefeated) Shane Mosley has faced 7 undefeated fighters.
Oscar De la Hoya- Manny Pacquiao-Ricardo Mayorga-Bernard Hopkins-Felix Sturm(was undefeated)-Fernando Vargas-Shane Mosley(was undefeated)-Felix Trinidad(was undefeated)-Ike Quartey-Pernall Whitaker
Oscar De La hoya has faced 9 undefeated fighters.
Zap Judah- Joshua Clottey-Miguel Cotto(was undefeated)-Cory Spinks-Kostya Tszyu. Zap Judah Has faced 4 undefeated fighters.
Cory Spinks- Jermain Taylor-Zab Judah-Ricardo Mayorga.
Diego Corales - Acelino Freitas(was undefeated) - Joel Casamayor(three times) - Jose Luis Castillo(twice) - Joshua Clottey. Diego Corales has fought 4 undefeated fighters.
Acelino Freitas - Joel Casamayor(was undefeated) - Daniel Attah(was undefeated) - Artur Grigorian(was undefeated) - Diego Corrales - Juan Diaz(was undefeated) Acelino Freitas has fought 5 undefeated fighters.

Only undefeated fighter that Floyd had faced were Diego Corales and Ricky Hatton. Some Fighters Floyd Mayweather didn't face- Acelino Freitas - Joel Casamayor - Kostya Tszyu - Juan Diaz - Marco Antonio Barrera.
Biggest deal of all this is that Floyd Mayweather was consider the best pound for pound boxer before facing Oscar De la Hoya and Ricky Hatton. Please.
Floyd Mayweather is still a good boxer, but not nearly close to what people make of him. Most that are just family members and die hard fans. You can have all the skill in the world and still get knockout by a stronger fighter. If you dont have enough to beat the best you should just stick to track and field.
Mayweather was an o.k fighter, but was scared of competition. He avoided a rematch with Oscar de La Hoya to take on wrestler. Floyd Mayweather retired as a wrestler. His last fight was at a wrestling PPV.
I love Floyd and don't talk about him as much as the people who hate him jesus lmao....also He's never Lost as a Pro Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floyd Mayweather lost the fight to Luis castillo and the rest of the boxers he fought were overated. Mitchell was a nobody, Castillo was knockout 4 times before, Gatti was washed-up. He left some weight class avoiding mayor contenders like Joel Casamayor, Kosta Tszyu.
Mayweather was being called the best pound for pound fighter when he had only fought: Z. Judah, J.L. Castillo, D. Corales, A. Gatti, DeMarcus Corley. If that makes you the best fighter then any fighter can be the best pound for pound.
Other fighter mentioned in the thread have faced way more better opponnets and dangerous ones.
If you look at the list compare to other fighters Mayweather has fought nobody. How could they ever had called him the best fighter before he even fought Oscar De La Hoya.
Mosley, Cotto, Barrera, all could have been called best pound for pound, before mayweather. Mayweather a fraud.
its part of the game
unless a fighter has a resume filled with opponents that brought 0s, then EVERYone has had a 'leftover'

Who has Mayweather really beaten? All his biggest opponets came from loses or were washed up. Mitchell, Gatti. Castillo was knockout 4 times before and he still beat Floyd.
Many other fighters had fought more undefeated opponnets and more top boxers than he has. This threads shows everthing about floyd. He really should never have been called the best P4P fighter. He beat a bunch of washed-up fighters. He's nothing.
dumbest thread ever made..then you put hatton on there..and he was undefeated..shit floyd gets hated for any damn thing
People just hate it because their Floyd Fans, but this thread shows the facts.
the facts say Mayweather has fought nobody. just read it, but dont cry.
I don't know why Mayweather was called the best P4P fighter before he fought hatton and De La Hoya. Mayweather just fought a bunch of nobodys you can't compare them to the other fighter opponnets. So this thread proves alot of what Floyd really is about.
Mayweather fans were saying pacquiao was fighting Mayweather left over, but now they can't accept it. Floyd hasn't face nearly as good opponnets as others have. Other fighters have face more undefeated opponents.

unless a fighter has a resume filled with opponents that brought 0s, then EVERYone has had a 'leftover'
