Smaller? no. Mayweather has had the majority of his high profile fights at Lightweight-Welterweight, that's ABOVE floyds natural weight of super featherweight, as for his opponents being slower...well wtf do you expect? The guy is probably one of the fastest boxers in the sport of course his opponents are gonna be stronger. But smaller? no. Arturo Gatti really is the only one who comes to mind that's smaller than floyd tbh.
Look at who Floyd has beat...
Genaro Hernandez
Angel mandfredy
Diego corrales
Jose Luis castillo
Phillip Ndou
Arturo Gatti
Zab Judah
Carlos Baldomir
Oscar De La Hoya
Ricky Hatton
I mean yeah ok, some of them are overrated but that's a nice amount of well known high quality boxers he's beat there, sure the majority aren't on Margarito/Cotto level but he did beat a PRIME Castillo twice and prime Castillo was a force to be reackoned with. All of these guys were at higher weights than Mayweathers natural weight bar Genaro. Give Mayweather credit where it's due, he's been the most successful boxer of this generation, he has GREAT skills in boxing and he's accomplished alot in the sport. Yeah he hasn't fought some of the top Welterweights but the guys a natural super featherweight...could Cotto beat Pavlik or any of the top champion middleweights? Hell no, so why should Mayweather have to beat the top welterweights for his career to be valid? Big difference also is...Mayweather could arguably school Cotto/Margarito (Not saying he would, but he does have amazing skill and the potential to do it) but you compare Cotto/Margarito to Pavlik/Abraham and they don't even have a chance and that's only 2 weights higher than their natural weight, mayweathers fighting 3weights higher than his natural division to reach welter. Anyways, I'm sick of defending Mayweather, if people wanna hate him so be it but your reasons are usually very silly for doing so.Comment
