    Mayweather's best win at 140?

    On paper, it seems like Gatti is the better win... more times being a world champion, for a belt, etc.

    But I was thinking, DeMarcus Corley seems to be a pretty solid fighter, who has never quite been able to break through, but he is still a good fighter. He is a former world champion at 140.

    SO... who do you all think is the better win for Mayweather at 140?

    Arturo "Thunder" Gatti

    The one that gave him the title, the exposure, and had other boxers fearing to fight him, Arturo Thunder Gatti.

      I am not a Mayweather fan as you know, but I will admit that his destruction of Arturo Gatti is one of the worst ass whippings I have ever seen. Props to Arturo for taking that punishment like he always does.

        Common man, How can you shoot yourself in the foot like that?


        If it had been " Pryor or Duran" i could see the point, but focusing on two chumps like that only solidifies my gripe that he avoided the real threats and cherry picked his way to fame and fortune. Not Hi******* your thread man. Just wanted to point that out!


        Come november the sun will shine again and the evil that is Floyd Mayweather will be cast down into the depths of has been's for all eternity.

            Man, you hate Mayweather even more than I do. I don't actually hate Floyd, I just dislike him and I hate his obnoxious personality and hit and run style, but I will admit it is very effective for him. If Floyd fought more like one of my boys Shane Mosley than I would respect him more because Mosley is a real warrior and he is not afraid to go toe to toe. I think Mosley is also gonna go toe toe with the so called unstoppable Miguel Cotto and KO/TKO him in the later rounds. I am still sticking to my prediction that Hatton will upset Mayweather and KO him with a bodyshot in the late rounds.

              Mosley is a CHEATER. I have no respect for people that do steroids to gain a competitive advantage.

                  The best win for Mayweather at 140 would've been Kostya Tszyu. But unfortunately, Floyd never found the time....

                    Thank you for answering the question presented.

                    Anyways, Easton, it's not like I'm shooting myself in the foot... anyone who claims that Floyd's best opposition was at 140 pounds is a ****ing idiot, period.
