floyd vs lara at 152
Mayweather can't be compared to the greats of the past. He's another Cesar Chavez jr. who cherry picked his opponents and has 45 wins and one loss against a real opponent. The greats of the past had no catchweights. they also fought 15 rounds. Floyd has honed his skills against tomato cans, or washed up fighters. Roy Jones was faster and hit harder. Leonard would have beat him and so would Hearns, Benitez and Duran. If they were active today and in their prime mayweather would not fight them. He would find an excuse like he did for Pacman. At least he trains hard and comes in excellent condition. Mike McCallum would have knocked him out. I won't see another fight that has catchweights. That gives one fighter an unfair advantage over another. Mayweather never looked in Margaritos way or Paul Williams. Chicken Mayweather.
Sugar ray leonard the ageless fighter
I think Leonard still exercises and that will make you look younger than your years where people half his age are fat, out of shape, looking old. Leonard was a great fighter and I believe both he and tommy Hearns would beat Mayweather. Sugar Ray robinson would also beat mayweather. He had tremendous footwork and he had a K.O. power the likes of which Mayweather does not. Back then there were no catchweights either. Not deniying Mayweather as being the best pound for pound today but I think that if Joe Calzaghe was in his prime and weighed 147 to 154, he would take apart Mayweather. Nobody gives Calzaghe the credit he deserves.
Mayweather is just like Julio Cesar Chavez jr.
Mayweather like Chavez has built his unbeaten record on people he knows he can beat. Chavez is 46 wins 1 lost with Martinez. Once he had to step up with a talented fighter he lost. He can forget about supermiddleweight.
Mayweather once he faces a talented fighter will lose. You don't count Chavez as the best and neither should you count Mayweather. There are just no Durans, Leonards, Hearns or Benitez. He would not fight Margarito and he avoided fighting Paul Williams. He needs to fight with no catchweight involved. Who ever heard of such a thing in Leonards time. Plus fights were 15 rounds. so give me a break.
