My grades on Mayweather opponents

[Rubber Duck]

Corrales was still green .Only sfter did he develop into a A class fighter. Most people put him up on a pedestal for his war with Castillo. If that's the case, Gatti is the best fighter that ever lived,because hes been in 4 fight of the years. (NOT). At that time Castillio had a lot to do in his developing Career . As well as Mayweather. other than that Mayweather only fought a solid prime guy in Hatton. I'm not hating in the guy he just hasn't fought Top quality guys as he himself were progressing. One A class fighter. The rest B&C class due to quality of opposition and time in their careers. You cant say Corrals was a A+ fighter a long time ago when they fought.

Does it bother you guys that the supposedly best fighter of this era has fought Maybe 2-3 A level fighters in 39 professional fights?

[Alliteration]

He made the Dean's list.

Mayweather is/was a great fighter.

Guys like Jesus Chavez and Carlos Hernandez were top dogs in that weight class when Floyd beat them. Floyd was a beast at 130-135.

That just shows how thin 130 was if Chavez and Hernandez were the best at the division. It is very convenient he is called the best super featherweight in a weight that was relatively thin.

so fighting a bunch of c and d fighters make you p4p#1??ok

No, two fighters who fought and lost tough fights made him p4p number 1 (Hopkins/Jones)

You don't know what you are talking about.

Chavez and Hernadez went on to win belts at 135 and gave Eric Morales great fights.

What great fighters did Jones beat other then James Toney (Tarver is alright and B-Hop was not the fighter he turned into when he fought Jones). They said the exact same thing about Jones as you are saying about Floyd, just a tip saying things like this make it look like you just started watching boxing recently.

one last post, fixed that for you....

Do you hold all fighters to that standard, or are you just a standard hypocrit. If you rate Floyd's opponents like that, then no one recently has done anything worthwhile in the sport.

I choose to judge based on reality and not some perfect fantasy world.

Anyway,

Genero, Corrales, JLC = A
Hatton = B+
Jesus Chavez = B+

Then after is a bunch of B-s/ Cs

I love Castillo and Corrales but I don't think I could call them A level fighters.

he picked who he fought very wisely when it came to winning belts in multiple weight classes.. gatti, baldomir, over the hill oscar.. please.. no props.

I grades all the fighters Mayweather fought in world title fights. The grades are my opinion on how good the fighter was when the fight happened, not on how good a performance Mayweather displayed.

Ricky Hatton B
Oscar De La Hoya B
Carlos Baldomir C
Zab Judah B
Sharmba Mitchell C
Arturo Gatti C+
Henry Bruseles C -
Demarcus Corley C+
Phillip N'Dou C
Victoriano Sosa C-
Jose Luis Castillo B+
Jesus Chavez C
Carlos Hernandez C
Diego Corrales A
Gregorio Vargas C-
Carlos Gerena C
Angel Manfredy C+
Genaro Hernandez B

These grades are without being a Mayweather hater and a mayweather hugger

What do you all think of the grade level of opponents he has faced in his career?

Please post your own grades or say why you disagree or agree with mine

Not bad, fixed a couple

It is pretty easy to talk **** and nitpick. Could do it to anyone in the sport. If your going to talk **** atleast say something profound.

I would move Jesus Chavez and Carlos Hernadez up to B's they were both very solid fighters. Also I would move Genero and JLC to A (these guys were the truth and deserve respect). What you moved I would have no issue though.
