Grade Floyd Mayweather's resume

I will list each notable fight, what he won in the fight, what each fighter had done going into the fight, and each fighters record going in. 1998: Genaro Hernandez (38-1-1)- W RTD8 (Won WBC Super Featherweight title) ---Hadn't lost in 3 years (only loss was to De La Hoya), coming off wins over C. Hernandez and Gerena. 1998: Angel Manfredy (25-2-1)- W TKO2 ---Hadn't lost in 4 years, coming off wins over Ruiz and Gatti. 2000: Gregorio Vargas (40-6-1)- W UD12 ---Hadn't lost in 3 years, no significant wins though. Lost to C. Hernandez and Molina. 2001: Diego Corrales (33-0)- W TKO10 ---Unbeaten, coming off wins over Garcia, Juuko, and Manfredy. 2001: Carlos Hernandez (33-2-1)- W UD12 ---Hadn't lost in 4 years since losing to G. Hernandez, no significant wins. 2001: Jesus Chavez (35-1)- W RTD9 ---Hadn't lost in 6 years, coming off win over Arias. 2002: Jose Luis Castillo (45-4-1)- W UD12 (Won WBC and RING Lightweight titles) ---Hadn't lost in 4 years, coming off wins over Johnston and Bazan. 2002: Jose Luis Castillo (46-5-1)- W UD12 ---Immediate rematch. 2003: Phillip N'dou (31-1)- W TKO7 ---Hadn't lost in 5 years, no significant wins. 2004: DeMarcus Corley (28-2-1)- W UD12 ---Coming off controversial loss to Judah and win over Bailey. 2005: Arturo Gatti (39-6)- W RTD6 (Won WBC Jr. Welterweight title) ---Hadn't lost in 3 years, coming off wins over Ward, Branco, and Dorin. 2006: Zab Judah (34-3)- W UD12 (Won IBF Welterweight title) ---Coming off win over Spinks and loss to Baldomir. 2006: Carlos Baldomir (43-9-6)- W UD12 (Won WBC and RING Welterweight titles) ---Hadn't lost in 8 years, coming off wins over Gatti and Judah. 2007: Oscar De La Hoya (38-4)- W SD12 (Won WBC Super Welterweight title) ---Coming off loss to Hopkins, retired, and than came back to KO Mayorga. 2007: Ricky Hatton (43-0)- W TKO10 ---Unbeaten, coming off wins over Tszyu, Collazo, Urango, and Castillo. 2009: Juan Manuel Marquez (50-4-1)- W UD12 ---Only losses in 10 years were controversial L's to John in 06' and Pacquiao in 08'. Coming off wins over Barrera, Casamayor, and Diaz. 2010: Shane Mosley (46-5)- W UD12 (WBA Welterweight title on the line only for Mosley) ---Hadn't lost in 3 years, coming off wins over Mayorga and Margarito. 2011: Victor Ortiz (29-2-2)- W KO4 (Won WBC Welterweight title) ---Coming off loss to Maidana, and wins over Diaz, Campbell, Berto, and a draw he should have won over Peterson. I'd give his resume a B- or B. He definitely could have had an A resume if he'd beat Margarito in 06' and Cotto in 08', but he can still get up there. Sergio at 154-155 would boost it big time, definitely to a B+, maybe even A-. And, of course Pacquiao would. Floyd's resume....good and he's an ATG, but it should get better his last couple years here.

LOL @ all of those paktards from 2011 at the start of this thread. Aint going to see those guys around, after floyd tapped that ass, theyve all either offed themselves, made new usernames or given up on boxing all together. Back to karaoke guys.

Floyd fought Genaro Hernandez in his 18th fight and he's been fighting big time fighter ever since. That's not something you see guys do, they usually get to 30-0 or so by fighting bums and then start fighting real competition. The fact that Mayweather has fought real competition for 30 fights is often discounted. You just don't see that. 25-0 in championship fights is an alltime record and it's the record everyone should be talking about because it's way more impressive than 49-0 overall. A+ resume makes him top 10 all time. Where he falls in the top ten is the only thing debatable.

For some, but in most the other opponent was a lot more diminished. Whos the last person Floyd beat in his prime, in your opinion?

Was he in his prime when he beat them? For some, but in most the other opponent was a lot more diminished.

But none of them were prime. Was he in his prime when he beat them?

Floyd has beaten HOF's, ATG, more champions IN THE HISTORY OF THE SPORT and 11 fighters that were on the P4P list when he beat them. Solid B+ A-. The only thing he lacks is a true genuine ATG in his prime of primes. I wonder what 09 Manny would have done for his resume. **** 08 Cotto would have actually been better. But none of them were prime.

For an active fighter Floyd's resume is one of the best out there but compared to other ATG's his resume is quite average. I'd give him a B at the moment. He really should've fought Cotto in 2008 but that fight didn't happen. I won't blame him for not fighting Margarito because Margs hasn't looked good since the hand wrap scandal broke and a win over him is pretty meaningless now. Also he needs to fight Pacquiao. A win over Pacquiao would easily shoot him up to an A grade especially if its a dominant win. He probably has the best resume of any active fighter out there or at least one of the best. He's 25-0 in title fights, you could argue 26-0 if you include the Shane Mosley fight. Undefeated through five weight classes which has never been done before (or at least not to my knowledge) with wins over future hall of famers, current hall of famers, and All Time Greats. His resume is an A. Congrats to the Leader of The Money Team We call this LOGICAL PROGRESSION.

Cotto was Pac's leftover Maidana was coming off a loss from Floyd when Floyd fought him Canelo was paid 5 million extra by you know who to carry Floyd, heard it on the grapevine Pacquiao is an easy, one dimensional, reckless, make a lot of mistakes, don't know how to cut the ring, one armed, blood drained urine drained(tested 19 times in 2 months) and 5 losses 3 by knockouts. so i'd say small letter d minus. Loooooooooooooool

in 2010 Floyd had one of the best resumes. Right now I can say it's a great one and I hope he continues to 55 fights some how. Imagine if he beat GGG and Ward in 2017

I'm a GGG fan and can say Floyd has one of the best resumes. A-/B+ Range

Floyd Mayweathers resume is without a doubt one of the best in boxing. Could it have been better? Of course it can. He could have always fought Margarito instead of Baldimir. There were also some fighters at 135/140 i would have loved to seen. Tszyu and Casamayor being two of them. But of course hindsight is always 20/20. We could go throw every fighter and find faults in their resume.

From another website: Jenna J: How does Mayweather compare to PPV stars of the past like Sugar Ray Leonard? Ray Mancini: He could have never beaten Ray Leonard, Ray Leonard had a mean streak, when he was in there, he wanted to annihilate you, embarrass you. Ray Leonard would not let you finish on your feet, Ray Leonard closed the show, that***8217;s the difference between him and this guy. Ray Leonard was a worthy pay-per-view because we knew he was going to try to close the show no matter what, Mayweather doesn***8217;t, he doesn***8217;t and he won***8217;t. For me, I***8217;m not paying to see him. He***8217;s got special skills and he***8217;s a special fighter but I***8217;m not paying to see him. On free TV, fine. If not, no. Pacquiao was the draw, everyone knows that. Here***8217;s the other thing; Floyd doesn***8217;t care about the paying public. I always said that athletes in general and fighters in particular have an obligation to the paying public to give them the best fight possible. He doesn***8217;t care about that and he hasn***8217;t cared about that. He***8217;s a modern day Houdini, he doesn***8217;t take a lick of a chance, he takes your money and he gets away with it. He doesn***8217;t take a lick of a chance and he gets away with it.

Expressive run at the very end of his career. He slowed, but the skills and ring smarts are/were still sharp. I'm not good at ranking fighters all time but he's among the greatest to ever do it.

B+. He's beat some solid guys but never be a great fighter in his prime and that stops him from getting an A. Great names but not at their best. Still an excellent résumé.
