In his prime he made very few mistakes, he was super at nullifying others offence and making adjustments. He also proved he could take a punch vs Mosley? Which fighter could crack the Philly shell? IMO it would be Antonio Margarito.
Floyd was the best welterweight in the world at 38 years old.
Ward quit boxing in his early 30s after a debatable decision followed on by a literal 5 punch combination to the balls and ref intervention. that is how ward went out. And after the super 6 he spent like 5 years fighting nobodies.
LOL!!!
He got out when he was supposed to, but man...that wasn't a good way to go out especially those last two fights of his.
Not counting previous eras or larger weight classes, I would say one of my favorite boxers, Errol Spence.
There are reasons to believe this as well. Watch the following interview:

Ward cleaned out his division and had to fight up in weight. Ward dominated in his division at his weight.
Do you think anyone really won the fight between Floyd and Manny? I don't. It was a decision where no one did anything substantial to the other guy... We at least needed the championship rounds when 15 rounds was the norm... Floyd was not great at 150, he was great at 130ish. Ward dominated his competition at his weight class, Floyd did not really do so. What does this mean? I don't know lol...
I think Floyd goes on a short list at around 130... would Shane have hurt him? Duran? its possible.

Everything said here is fact after the second comment down to 40 year old mosley nearly ko mayweather
He didnt though and it doesnt mean a thing, 40yr old Mosley could punch as hard as sleeping Margarito and MW Mayorga, Mosley always had power, that shot Floyd took would have slept a lot of guys, it took being a great to not only survive but to stay in control and put on a systematic beat down.
I dont think to many people actually go and look at ATGs in history, they were beat or stopped or severely hurt or struggled with an average guy at some point or at multiple points, The sht Ive seen in this forum about Floyd, oh he got a bloody nose from Cotto, oh he was wobbled by 2 guys in his entire career, these aint boxing people spinning this BS.
Manny's a small 147lbr who had to gorge himself to go up to 147lbs.
At the weigh in, he was smaller by 3lbs
Oscar's 5'10" and fought all the way up to 160lbs.
There's no comparison.
Manny still had never fought at that weight.
He still was the much bigger man NATURALLY and had fought at 147 for a decade, while Manny had never done it.
And he wasn't 172lbs on fight night. He wasn't 25lbs heavier :lol1: when he fought Floyd\
He was 164lbs on fight night against Floyd & 147 against Manny.
He is a small WW , that doesnt change the fact Oscar was wrecked , he gained 2lbs in 30 hours and Manny out weighed him, if Oscar wasnt drained so badly he would have been over MW as he was with Mayweather, its a massive difference in the two versions, the Oscar KOing Mayorga fighting Floyd, than Oscar looking like crap with a LW Stevie Forbes then fighting Manny, the weight killed Oscar and it elevated Manny.
Are you aware of Manny weighing 144 while fighting at 130, 5lbs more than Morales. point is Manny been 144for many years, Oscar been over 160 for near on a decade, who do you think has the advantage with Manny being 147 and Oscar 145 fight night,,,,,,,,,Oscar was dead man walking no doubt at all, there is no comparison to the version Floyd beat.

completely shot DLH beat Mayweather in his prime.
Prime DLH schools Mayweather. No doubt about it.
40 yo Mosley nearly knocked Mayweather out. 28 yo Mosley would have a faster and more powerful swing on those punches. He would've got Mayweather outta there. 2nd or 3rd round KO. Mayweather would just be another mark.
Everything said here is fact after the second comment down to 40 year old mosley nearly ko mayweather
uh old DLH already beat him. a prime DLH would TKO him.
Old Mosley landed these on him...

a younger Mosley would've knocked Mayweather out.
A prime Oscar De La Hoya would beat Mayweather easier, Mayweather fought an older Oscar De La Hoya . The real Oscar De La Hoya that fought Chavez Senior and Mosley 1 and 2 from 1997 to 2000 would give Mayweather more hell than the one Mayweather fought in 2007
Got nothing to do with the way Oscar came in, Manny outweighed Oscar on fight night think about that, and Manny weighed 144 beating Diaz, its not Mannys fault that Oscar was ruined, doesn't change the fact that the 25lb bigger Oscar that Floyd fought would run over Manny.
Lots of guys could give Floyd hell but beating him is another story, I don't care if some people think Castillo beat May I don't think he did in a close fight.

Floyd was 2 years older than Manny and a 38 year old man when he fought 36 year old Pac.
Pac tards claim that 36 year old pac was "shop worn" or "shot" but then go on to praise 40 year old pac for still defending his belts against Thurman and still "having it"
Pick one, was Pac still on top of the division at 40 or was he shot at 36? you dont get both.
dummy! you just proved the pac fans point! LOL!!!

As far as I am concerned he was shopworn when he lost to Floyd, and shopworn when he beat Thurman.
I thought the official Floyd boy excuse for Thurman was he was a ringrusted cherrypick.
Why you mentioning Thurman anyways thats a guy Floyd could have fought and would got high praise for beating him
Manny beat the brakes off Oscar quit making excuses for Oscar. The same shopworn Oscar that Floyd pitty patted with for 12 rounds, Manny sent into retirement.
Floyds pops said on tv he thought Oscar beat his son
Floyd was scared of Manny until he became shopworn

There's nothing special with mayweather he's just a good boxer with excellent media hype and can be easily beat by any average boxer if the judges will not help or give him gift wins.
lmao
nearly everyone on the hater's lists of fighters to beat mayweather has a natural size advantage. Because its very hard to find even a handful of fighters mayweathers size who have a chance at beating him in history. Hes that good. At welterweight he was 150 on fight night.
If you become a boxing fan and not a mayweather fan i will be very happy to give you all the names but for now you're just a waste of time mate.
Don't worry I will have a very good time watching haney vs loma mate and i know you're very frustrated with mayweather fights specially with a 100lbs japanese vendor.:rofl:
He's not a boxing fan check his stats he's a 28,000+ post, Manny bashing Floyd boy.

After watching the Rosario fight, I think FMW finds a way to beat him and mentally break him like he did Judah. BTW both of them had faster hand speed them him.
Macho is the A-side
Machos attitude and antics dwarf floyds
Machos foot work and hand speed equals floyds
Machos double and triple jabs whilst circling from a southpaw stance would trouble floyd all night
It could go either way, im betting on a Macho SD. And im a a huge Floyd fan
Macho would be a terrible matchup for Floyd @ 130lbs
Like i said, if that fight ever happend, bank on Macho
@ 130lbs , Macho Comacho beats Floyd or it is very very close
Bank on it
