All i listed was facts
No, if you're ranked "#1" in a division by The Ring where there is a champ, you're NOT the "#1 guy". You're the #2 guy, or the 1st contender.
You know what i love about Mayweather fans? They only follow Floyd and they dont know jackshhheeet about anyone else. Worst boxing fans ever!
I think the influx was when Floyd first appeared on 24/7, they fell for his flashy persona and became fans of him ever since. Only him, not the sport itself.
130-Hernedez
135-Castillo
140-Gatti
147-Baldomir,Shane
154-Cotto

Thats a pretty bad list when its put like that. Aside from just being impressed by the name (in this case, the lack of being impressed), when you look deeper, those guys were either not actually the best although they had got that ranking, but most has left their best fights in the ring years before Floyd fought them
thats not true. floyd/margarito was being talked about in 2006. margarito confronted him at the mosley/vargas press conference. floyd was offered 6 mil for that fight. that was the fight people wanted. not baldomir.
oh yea of course the people wanted margarito not baldomir..... (sigh) 1:30 of vid
All of these guys had a better resume at 154 at the time:
James Kirkland
Erislandy Lara
Serhiy Dzinziruk
Alfredo Angulo
Carlos Molina
The following had about as good a resume and would have beaten him head-to-head:
Trout
Canelo
Martyrosyan
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Floyd is acherry picker plain and simple.
Fight fans: hey Floyd we want to see u test yourself against Martinez at 154!
Floyd well I'm going to fight a war ravaged past prime Cotto instead!
Haha the fact is that some on the list were #1 but that didn't mean they werethe most dangerous in that division. Baldomir is a great example
Like it or not these are all facts backed up by the ring rankings
Yes, because a magazine owned by Floyds promoter is the most unbiased source of information there is.
I'm sure if Mayweather fought that version of Margarito you wouldn't be saying the same thing.
Baldomir and Ortiz has 10+ weight advantages over Mayweather. Do you give him credit for those fights?
i would, but in my opinion margarito > baldomir, ortiz.
the thing is tho mayweather picks and chooses his opponents very carefully, he didnt fight cotto when everybody wanted that fight in 08. he didnt fight margarito which would have been a hell of a fight, and he didnt fight pacman. dont get me wrong, mayweather is the best boxer iv ever seen, but he doesnt like a challenge much does he!
then you have the stans saying 9 time champ this, this guy was the number 1 in his division etc etc. well so were the three guys i mentioned in the above paragraph at some point. all of which would have been better fights than baldomir, ortiz and mosley. i dont have a problem with his mosley fight for the record.
Floyd's resume is nothing special, especially if you list Gatti as one of his better wins.
gatti had lost 2x, to feather fisted ivan robinson 2x...before floyd...lol
