Poor old shot Cotto dominated Margarito and went on to win the middleweight championship (probably his best career moment tbh)
Poor old shot pacquiao in 2015, but in 2020 hes still in the elite level
Poor Young Canelo was a pro for 8 years and had beaten shane mosley and austin trout. So inexperienced i must say.
Poor old mosley had just ressurected his career by absolutelty dominating antonio margarito. So shot I must say.
Poor old Marquez was sooo small for floyd but had his career moment at that weight.
Such cherry picking i must say
floyd idolized pac for sure..

Well played lol but none were at their best, now cope :rofl:

Nevertheless, Mayweather was also past his best days when he faced them. Nevertheless, Mayweather had a ton of family and jail issues outside the ring, and he still beat them. Cope.

GGG @154
There are a lot of variables to consider: Would he be fighting them successively? and during what time period? In which weight classes?
If it's back to back to back then I think anyone take a loss or two along the way.
Conversely, I think he could run the table depending on the timing of the fights.
Winky and GGG might simply be too big though.

that's because he used his wife as sparring partner.
Nevertheless, all of Mayweather's biggest named opponents were past their best days.

Yeah & I bet you still wanna act like De La Hoya was at his best in the Floyd fight :rofl:
I'll expect another irrelevant rebuttal :rofl:
Im pretty sure I have already admitted at least twice that de la hoya wasn't at his best. Nevertheless, floyd earned that victory by moving up in weight
:rofl:
There is a nine year age gap between marciano and joe louis and a 5 year one between mayweather.

There's a reason he had so many demands when he fought.
sure he will do anything just to get the terms and condition to his side.. easy win even in the hardest battle.
I'm sure Joe Louis also had size & experience over Marciano when they fought also, but that doesn't mean Joe was at his best.
Regardless of size or experience De La Hoya was far from his best days in the Floyd bout.
:rofl:

Dude I already admitted that Gatti was past his best as was De la hoya, but for the de La Hoya fight De la Hoya had a massive advantage in both weight and experience. I already anwsered about the rest. Floyd deserves credit for each and every one of these victories.

I’m a Floyd hater? I’m a huge Floyd fan, he just ain’t an ATG of our wonderful sport.
First off you mention fighters at 135? Why are you bringing up fighters 2 weight classes below?
You also mention Marg after that war with Cotto? Not the Marg I reference while he was on a tear up to the Cintron fight , which was when I felt he had his best shot.
Most those fighters had weight clauses, etc or weren’t prime period. Great names on a resume but an objective fan understands they were handpicked.
You really feel he would’ve beat a prime Williams before the Walter Matthysse fight?
You really feel he beats Wright at 154?
Right on but I completely disagree.
He is a ATG.
I bring up Marquez because he was to small for mayweather but apparently wasn't too small when he knocked out pacman 2 years later.
List the fighters at weight clauses, and mayweather wasn;t prime for his any of those guys as well, he wasn;t even natural at 147 and 54 and even entered the de la hoya fight as a welterweight.
Yes I feel he beats Paul Williams
Not sure about wright, but wright was too big.
BTW- Pacquaio was knocked out several times before 2003, when he would elevate his standing against Barrera in a very good fight. A fighter isn't defined by their losses, but how they bounce back, which is what both Paxquiao and Cotto did before they fought floyd
I meant that the accumulative effect of those earlier fights, definitely damaged Cotto, his skin was never the same and his punch resistance (which was better after he moved up and quit draining himself at 140), was no where near the same. Compare the prime Cotto that blasted Quintana in his welter debut and out boxed Mosley, to the one that Floyd fought that faded down the stretch, cut etc.
I agree that they both were on decent streaks and were formidable while fighting Floyd. My only point was that they were past their prime, and Floyd was much closer to his than vice versa.
Good pont but it's not Mayweather's fault that his opponents aren't as defensively minded. Compare the Mayweather who fought cotto when he was 35 to Pretty Boy who dogwalked corrales, utterly dismantled angel manfredy in 2 rounds, moves up to 135 and beats Jose Castillo with one arm, takes a rematch and dominates. Savagely batters Arturo Gatti, makes legendary adjustements against Zab Judah, dominates Baldomir, moves up to 154 and fights De La Hoya, the champion at that weight class, as a welterweight.
