    Bottom line, which fighters does Mayweather have on his resume greater than Jones and Hopkins?

    Oscar is the only one who comes close and even he isn't as great as those two, far from it.
    To be fair Jones is way past it.

    Hopkins is only slightly past his prime like Joe so the win is a good one even if the fight was close.

      JC has a better record. JC is beating people in his mid thirties. Could PBF still be succesful at that age?

        Mayweather, it's not even close. Calzaghe beat two fighters who already have a foot in the retirement home. Lacy is a nobody, and Kessler is still unproven. You can try and argue that Joe wanted the big fights but because he was in Wales, couldn't get them, but the fact is whether that's true or not, he doesn't have any recognizable names on his resume before Lacy. Mayweather has beaten more recognizable and credible names than Calzaghe has, and he's held more titles in more divisions than Joe has. In terms of resume? There's no contest here.

        I personally think Joe is overrated and overhyped, but I admit he's got great skills. Still he's not better than Mayweather at anything. Except being white... and having a hot wife... and being from Europe...

              I dont Pick castillo because for me, castillo woooped Floyds ass in the first fight, so I dont count that as a win for Floyd. and I think Bika was better than woodhall.

                      beating people in your mid thirties doesn't make your record better.
