    What is it with some of Floyd's best wins being underachievers?

    Go ahead and call this another hate thread etc etc. But lets look at this for a moment.

    Diego Corrales pretty much had a subpar career after Floyd with the highlight being the fight of the century with Castillo.

    Carlos Baldomir
    got schooled by Vernon Forrest and got a majority decision against an unknown fighter.

    Zab Judah, do I even have to explain?

    Ricky Hatton, struggles IMMENSELY against a semi retired Lascano who almost KO's him. But then redeems himself with a great dominant win against Paulie Malignaggi

    Oscar De La Hoya takes a tune up fight against Stevie Forbes who breaks a bone on that fool's face. Oscar really struggled to put on that Goldenboy performance against Stevie and then get DOMINATED, EMBARRASSED, DESTROYED by someone who started out his career at 106 lbs!!!

    It seems like Hatton is the only big name on Floyd's resume that might remotely appear to have a successful post career. Why is that? Floyd "destroying them" obviously is out of the question since the fighter he actually hurt the most out of that list is Hatton.

    Again, you can put almost any fighter's resume under the microscope and make it out to be overrated, padded, whatever.

    The truth is that when Mayweather fought Corrales it was a pick 'em fight and Diego was a fkn beast. Castillo was the ring champ and LW and a great fighter. Oscar was still considered an elite fighter and the champ at 154. Hatton was the undisputed best at 140 and one of the p4p best at the time and was given a pretty good chance by most of beating Floyd. Sure, the Judah and Baldomir wins are not fantastic but still solid. Mayweather also has a few other very good wins that you did not mention, such as Hernandez, Chavez and Gatti.

    The man has a great record with a very solid resume.

        Here we go again...

        Would you like me to dissect Cotto or Margarito's record? Well Margarito only has 2 noticeable guys on his record anyway...

          Since you mention Corrales...having beaten Freitas, Casamayor and Castillo.

          You also have to mention Castillo himself......went on to beat Corrales and Casamayor.

          You forgot Jesus Chavez, won a WBC super-featherweight title and the IBF lightweight title after losing to Floyd.

          Anyway I much rather prefer guys like Hopkins, who school fighters and they're never the same again afterwards.

              at least he didnt get humiliated like marquez vs pac
              or barrera, or morales... hahahahahahaha

              Or dela...

              You dont seem to understand, floyd makes blueprints, poeple bite and execute.

              And believe me 2009, floyd mayweather will show you, The FOURTH WAY TO BEAT PACMAN

              Keep hating and crying for(closet****) marquez, hide under the chad dawson pillow.

              And buy ppv, cause its gonna be a extravaganza.

                  You can disect their careers all you want, but the facts will never change.


                  Mayweather was afraid to face either one.


                  That will be remembered more than anything.

                    fact is floyd is the most skilled fighter of the last 50 years, 5 world titles 6 weight divisions, highest rated compubox fighter.
                    Put him against any fighter, the bookies will always favor floyd mayweather, and there is an obvious reason, skills.

                    And the mexicans, well, i like their style and ****, but damn homie.. dela used to be the man homie what the fk happended to you. legends?
                    they all got stomped.
