In what WeightClass & Percentage of PBF career will "YOU" judge FLOYD MAYWEATHER???

[andrewcuff]

And you don't think those FOY status' are debatable? You have them all laid out nice nice, but wouldn't one cancel out another if its not unanimus? Reasonable people recognize he's a two time fighter of the year.

As the saying goes you've hit the nail on the head there: reasonable people

Floyd was fighter of the year TWICE..... not 10 times! Come on Horus.


But i like your argument and it makes sense. Why people continue to base Floyds career at Welterweight is beyond me and beyond intelligence.

In that case base SRL's resume at Light Heavyweight, Durans at Light heavy, etc etc.

Floyd is top 30 ATG at the moment and in the following years he'll move up.

As i stated in an earlier post, many people base Floyd career at WW, because that's when he became a household name, and boxing superstar. His rise to fame came during and after his fight with Gatti, and that's when people really started to take notice of him. Although his resume at 130 & 135 trumps ANYTHING he did from 140-154, most people will continue to judge him from the point he became pfp#1.

I've always thought it a bit ironic that he was recognised as P4P #1 when at 140/147 where his career was not nearly as impressive as at 130/135.

Because at the time Hopkins lost to Taylor so Floyd was next in line to become p4p no1. I think so anyway.

Totally agree! Makes no sense. Its almost as if his fame catapulted him to pfp status rather than his accomplishments. Being undefeated is great and all, but it all depends on the quality of you opposition throughout your undefeated reign. Now im not going to say that Floyd's level of opposition was crap, but it was far from stellar.

Yeah true. It just seems strange that he becomes P4P #1 when he's at the least impressive (overall) part of his career! That is one of the reasons why I don't really like having a P4P list with fighters ranked from 1-10. I prefer to just name the top 3/5 fighters.

You've got to look at his whole career. Not just the first two divisions. Yeah, it's dumb to just focus on 147 but youc an't in no way discount it--140 and 147 occured during his prime years! Not when he was faded like Leonard at 168 or something.

So basically you're awarding 6 Fighter of the Year awards for 2007? Ha! See what I mean, nonsense.

When talking FOTY, people generally refer to Ring Magazine, or at least one awarding body. You don't sc**** the barrel and count 6 FOTY award from 1 year

Floyd was Fighter of the year in: 1998(2 Recognizable bodies), 2001,2002, and 2007 by 6 (Recognizable bodies)

If we want to used your logic we can say 4 years out of his 11 year career he was selected fighter of the year.

Who else can we say that about?

but to address another matter, to the people saying i only focus on floyd career when he became p4p#1...Do you guys do the same thing for Pacquaio?
