name me the fights he was outweighed by 10lbs 4x & outweighed by 15lbs 2x.
That guy in your avatar, his greatness is without question, he doesnt cherry pick who he races against.....
mr.counterfeit cash on the other hand, wants to claim all time greatness when his best name on his resume is diego corrales.
people & nuthugging fans have no shame whatsoever.
Corrales, Castillo, Oscar and Baldy with Oscar and Baldy outweighing him by 15+ lbs
I ain't arguing with you, we'll agree to disagree, i think Floyd is an ATG, you don't think he is :boxing: :boxing: :luvbed: :luvbed:
Corrales no doubt. You would have thought at the time that it would've been just the beginning but I don't think he was ever able to repeat that kind of a performance.
He did against lesser fighters perhaps but not someone as highly rated as Corrales was when they fought.
I would go with the Corrales fight. That was a classic beatdown. Corrales was undefeated and favored to win. However, I also think his win over Baldomir was very impressive. Baldomir almost handed Zab Judah his head two fights earlier and KO'd Arturo Gatti. Mayweather scored a virtual shutout over a fighter that many (including Larry Merchant before he realized that Floy was shutting him out and started whining about how boring the fight was) thought was too big for Floyd. Two classic performances in fights where Floyd was evenly matched.
1. Corrales
2. Ganero
3. Gatti
4. DeMarcus Corley
5. Gerena
5. Jesus Chavez
6. Zab Judah
7. DLH
8. Hatton
9. JLC II
10. Victoriano Sosa
I didn't add Carlos Hernandez because Floyd messed up his hand in that fight, became a little dull after that.
Manfredy?
Pep was pretty impressive footwork wise, i'd also rate DLH quite high up, Floyd was outweighed by 15+ lbs with every advantage against him
1. Corrales

equals all time greatness?
He was outweighed in nearly all those fights, outweighed by 10+ lbs four different times, outweighed by 15+ lbs twice
6 world titles and 3 lineal titles in 5 weight divisions while remaining undefeated, i'd class Floyd as an ATG
The fight where he knocked down an undefeated Top 10 P4P fighter 5 different times
Diego was a warrior though, he never quit when most people would have
I feel Mayweather looked and was at his best in his fight against the 33-0 Diego Corrales, were he just chops down a world class fighter with ease, his hand and foot speed in that bout is blinding, althougth Corrales was struggling to make 130.
Another extremely impressive win was when Mayweather just destroyed the very capable Angel Manfredy in 2 rounds, Manfredy hadn't tasted defeat for 4years and coming into the fight had wins over Arturo Gatti and Jorge Paez. Them two performances by Mayweather were very impressive, Mayweather at 130 was phenomenal.
Other impressive displays were stopping the 45-0 Ricky Hatton, punishing a past prime but still capable Arturo Gatti with ease,and after only 17 fights stopping the 38-1-1 Genaro Hernandez.
These displays stand out to me from Mayweather.
