I gave him a very generous 7/10.. the names on there are decent.. it's the names NOT on there that matter more
I agree and chose 7 as well. The thing is, if he had just fought and beat, Cotto or Margarito many people would be voting 9-10. It's just that 1 fight that keeps people from voting any higher.
Voting 1-2-3-4 is just ridiculous. Like the guy or not, his resume is better than a 1.
I would give him an 8.5 maybe slightly higher but not quite 9. He fought a lot of quility fighters, but he could have done more at 135, 140 or 147 (at 130 his resume is on point though). He fought quality guys but he really did not stick around in any of these divisions to really prove his superiority. He did not need to do it in all of these division but doing it in 1 would have been a nice feather in his cap.
He Fought Genaro Hernandez who was 38-1-1 2 time World Champion. And The Reigning WBC world Champion. And The Ring Magazine Recognize World Champion of The Division.Who only Lost came from Oscar De La Hoya in which Oscar broke his in several places. .Which Happen 3 years Earlier
In that Fight Floyd Dominated the Recognize Champion at 130. and Officially Became
The WBC world Champion at 21 years old and 17 fights.
...
not no international or state or any other bull**** title, but The Official Recognize WBC world Champion at 21 years old. And Now Recognize as The Ring Magazine number # 1 fighter in the division at 21 years old
and #8 on P4P list out of all the fighters in the world.
His Next Fight right After that Fight,Mayweather beat the guy who was RANKED number #4 ( Angel Manfredy) , And In that fight Mayweather Knocks Him Out in the 2nd.Round.
Now Mayweather had now beaten 2 out of the top 4 fighters in the 130 division. all before the age Of 22.And the 3rd of those 4 fighters was
(Roberto Garcia who was 31-0 with 23 Knock Outs.)
And Floyd was about to fight Roberto Garcia, but Roberto Garcia decided to fight Knock Out Artist and Another P4P Phenomenal fighter in Diego Corrales.. Who out of 33 fights to that Point. only 5 fighters didnt get Knock Out.
Roberto Garcia was knock out in the 7th Round by Corrales. Now Instead of Floyd Fighting Roberto Garica, he nows finds himself in the position
of fighting the #5 Pound 4 Pound fighter in the sport, and then #1 fighter at 130...Diego Corrales.
and In that Fight Floyd was a 2 to 1 Underdog, to not only lose to Corrales.But to get Knock out.
Floyd fights Corrales, The #5 P4P fighter in the sport and #1 fighter in the division, and in the fight compellingly outclassed
and Knocks out Diego Corrales in a 10 round 1 sided fight.
After that Floyd Completely Clean out the 130 Division with 8 title defenses, with 6 of those fights ending in Knock out.
Floyd at 130 now can not get a big name fighter to fight him from Featherweight to Lightweight.
NOBODY..and when big name fighters did get approach about fighting Mayweather, they either demand a 55-45 split, or didnt return the call. So Floyd started calling out all the big names Shane Mosely, Oscar De La Hoya, everybody.
But Nobody wanted to fight. So instead of staying at 130 where no other big names will fight him at. He moves Up.
And his first fight was against the number # 1 guy at 135 JLC.
