Has Floyd ever beaten an A fighter?

**-EX-** · 06-20-2009, 12:47 AM

Who do you consider to be an A level fighter?
If we talkin all time I would consider very few fighters A level

Currently probably Pacquiao. I wudda sed Cotto but an A level fighter wouldn't have lost to a C- level fighter(Margarito)...although it was a bad style matchup...

Chico? no, great win at the time.. But he wasnt an A fighter
Castillo? no, B+ at best
Hernandez? MAYBE
Oscar? WAS an A fighter but not at 34 fighting once a year
Ummm... Definately no Hall of Famers(except Oscar)

All those dudes will most likely end up in the hall of fame, the IBHOF has pretty low standards

Castillo was a beast the 135 pound King....Floyd beat him twice in back to back fights.

Chico was a beast knocking people out cold left and right.

Hernadez was 38-1....and the WBC Featherweight champ of the world...beast.

Oscar was 34..........so what?

Mosley is 37 years old...and hes the number 1 ranked WW in the world.

Hopkins is almost 50 and still a top 10 p4pounder.

The 154 pound Oscar that Floyd fought was GAME as hell...he wasnt drained he was healthy and strong and gave Floyd a good fight.

Not to mention Floyd moved up to 154 pounds with no tune up and fought and BEAT the best 154 pounder in the world at the time....in a small ring with little gloves at Oscars request.

Thx and have a nice day.

Corrales & Hatton were both borderline top 10 p4p when Mayweather fought them.
Castillo was #1 or #2 at lightweight when their fight occurred
Hernandez, its funny you should say he might be the A level fighter among them. Genaro was definently skilled though, he may or may not have been.
Oscar was past is, but Floyd had to move to 154 for that fight.

you must have an extremely thin definition of A Level

Come on ex you can't deny that MIguel is a A class fighter, the resume speaks for itself, in welterweight alone : Quintana, Urkal, Judah, Mosley, Gomez, Margarito, Jennings and Clottey, only losing to a suspended cheater. And that's just in welterweight my friend, he has quite a resume in 140 as well. Floyd in welterweight : Baldomir and Judah.

Yeah by today's standards he could be. That Margarito loss makes it a debate though. Bad style matchup. And of course the plaster issue is up in the air...

Chico and Castillo are both A fighters and HOF'amers.

Get the **** out of here with this bull**** thread.

And I dont want people to think im taking away from Floyd. I've said it before, but let me make it clear.

Floyd Mayweather Jr is the absolutely, most naturally talented fighter of this generation, his skills are unmatched by anybody, and he could beat anybody within 135-147, ( except maybe Williams, he just throws a inhuman amount of punches and it's nearly impossible to win rounds against, but in terms of skill Floyd is better), the problem with Floyd, is that he has chosen to fight people for money instead of fighting for the boxing fans and fights that will make him break the top 15 ATG ( Pacquiao, Margarito, Mosley, Cotto)

Castillo won that first fight 8-4. The best you could give Floyd is 7-5 and thats being kind.
