If Floyd Mayweather would have stood at 130-135. Would he have been greater??

[El Dominicano]

What do you guys think???

[MWMerlino]

He would've been greater if he hadn't of said he is better than SRR, swindle boxing fans out of their money, and then cancel the rematch no one wanted just to dance with the stars and clown around with the WWE.

[TheWire]

No, he beat Castillo who was the best 135 had to offer at the time, if Floyd fought longer he would be greater. He can most likely make 135 and beat the #1 p4p in the sport if he wanted to be greater.

Ive always said that at 130-140 he is easily one of the best at all time but that is his cut off limit. He can still win at 147 & 154 because he is crazy skilled but those are the weights where the guys are so huge that he could just lose to them on size alone. He was still the smallest guy at 135 & 140 when he was there but he was super strong at that weight and the other guys could only grow so much. At 147 they grow alot more and he didnt grow much from 140 so now he's in trouble.

If he fought at 130-140 then your watching a totally different fighter. He would be much more offensive and would be showing crazy skills but at WW & 154 the guys are so big that he basically has to do alot of moving and going backwards. I find it so funny that alot of people are saying that Margarito was just too big for Cotto. The same Cotto who's been way bigger then everyone he's fought but that wasnt a problem. The same Cotto who is clearly twice the size as Floyd. So if Floyd is way smaller then Cotto so how is it even fair to ask him to fight Margarito? Then whenever Margarito loses to Williams or Santos they say its because those guys were bigger then him. Its a joke. Floyd fights bigger guys every fight but everytime they do, they lose and then blame in on the weight even though they beat up on smaller guys all the time. Its a joke.

The fact is that he almost sold his soul for Oscar. He moved up way fast and to bigger weights to get the big money Oscar fight. It payed off because he got the money, got the win, and got all the fame, but it hurts his legacy because he wouldve just blown guys out the water at those other weights but isnt big enough to just destroy guys up here. He basically had to do it though because Arum ****** as his promoter so he had to get the money & fame on his own

Excellent post, especially the bolded.

Yes, Greater but he would have less money.

Floyd fought for his legacy and Money.He doesn't see the boxing world as fair to him each commentator, Promoter, trainer, fans, etc are all anxious for his downfall.

Floyd Fans should be proud to be his fans because its easy to jump on a bandwagon to hate a be little a fighter.
