At 147-154, Prime for Prime, how would Floyd Mayweather Jr fair against these five Pro Boxers he beat in the past?

Mosley was coming off his biggest W, though.

Mosley's biggest win was beating Oscar De La Hoya in his prime

At those points Floyd was the supremely talented high risk, low reward opponent they all didn’t want to risk losing against. Sadly posters like to forget this or pretend that it was Floyd that didn’t choose to fight these men at these points.

Your problem is you love Floyd so much you want the critics to take that into consideration.

Nobody who wants to see the best fight the best at their best cares about those excuses or is gonna see your point of the blame game.

Guys like Hagler and Hopkins had similar circumstances but you don't see guys crying about them being ducked

The irony is Manny is never mentioned beating ATG prime WWs he is too small and he got beat 8 times and Koed numerous times , but from 130 to 147 there is only a few pounds fight night between Manny Floyd and JMM , but because Floyd was so successful he has to be this huge figure lol, he is a small man and his best power to weight ratio was at 135, but because they couldn't beat him in real life the haters have got to create all these fantasy loses and trickery to justify their dislike, haters are the epitome of a Straw Man.

Excellent post.

Lot of posters get off creating fantasy scenarios where Floyd loses. His being undefeated going through all the boxers from those days these guys loved really bothers them.

Very strange hobby.

That's an excuse Floyd was still in his prime at welterweight vs zab, baldymir, gatti, sharmba, etc

That means Manny, who is younger, was also in his prime at WW. Yet you claim he wasn’t.

Dude get off your knees, close your mouth, wipe your lips, and try looking at the sport from an educated point of view, not a fellatious one.

They are still delusional fanboys who can't accept this. Floyd tried his best to protect his brand/his zero. I understand why he did it, but that comes without criticism. You can't expect fans loving you for cherry picking fights.

If you honestly believe this How was Floyd protecting his 0 when he was calling all these dudes out when they were prime, he was undefeated, they were bigger names and Floyd was the classic high risk, low reward fighter?

You seem to be basing your opinion on how HBO and his management ran his career once he became the cash cow post Fishnets and 24/7.

You are leaving out the 10 years and 37 fights before that when all these guys refused to fight him.

Whose the real fanboy here?

No. I just am honest about Floyd’s career. Something losers like you can’t do.

You and those like you pretend Floyd was calling the shots his whole career because it allows you to lie because you hate him.

Hate him all you want. The truth is he was high risk, low reward for the first 10 years of his career. That is why these dudes didn’t fight him.

Fishnets had to fight Floyd when he finally did. He couldn’t avoid him anymore. He was near the end of his career and figured a loss wouldn’t hurt.

Lmfao. I forget you aren’t a boxing fan but a Manny pole smoker.

Hagler complained often and loudly that he had to take the harder road. WTF are you talking about? He was very bitter, which is in part why he retired because that 118-110 score for SRL was bogus.

Hopkins signed with GBP because that was the only way he’d get an ODH fight.

Stick to nut gobbling.

He was at his peak vs Oscar, Cotto, Hatton, but was shopworn by 2015 when Floyd felt the risk was lowest

You really a bitter dude, can't stomach that Floyd's critics aren't buying the excuses for how Floyd managed to duck so many welterweights through backing out of fights, fake retirements, vacations, lockups, etc.

Look at this thread a thread about Floyd fantasy fighting guys who he already fought because they were shopworn versions.

I keep telling you if Floyd would have just fought the best guys in their prime, you wouldn't be on here crying all the time.

wtf Oscar was fighting Shane, Vargas, Bhop. Trying to get Winky in the ring.

Nobody was clamoring for him to fight lightweight Mayweather hate to bust your bubble.

Floyd got the fight when he moved up to welterweight and beat some halfway decent guys Zab Baldymir, Gatti

[Blond Beast]

All very valid points. For what it's worth, I think he lost the first Costillio fight, history says otherwise.

Thanks. Yes, there is a definite case for him losing the first Castillo fight. I thought the first Maidana fight was very close too. My brother who watched it somewhere else with the sound down assured me Floyd pulled it out. I’m not sure if I have seen that fight since. I know at the time I was telling my girl that Floyd could be losing this fight. The fact that he rematched and beat both guys lends to glossing over the first fights, even if that is not fair at all. History remembers the W’s and the details fade.

I’m Canadian but I had Bivol beating Arthur close. Very hard to score a close fight especially since all the spoils go to the winner. I’d like to see more even rounds scored. You can win a feel out round by throwing 10 punches as opposed to your opponents 9. But you can also get bettered badly, get doubled up on punches thrown or landed in another round and it’s still worth that same point.

Ferdinand Porsche said “The perfect race car crosses the line first then falls to pieces.” We all know the time allotted to a fight, so I don’t mind a fighter barely hanging on to still be able to win it. That’s why they have rematches.
