    explain how Joe's resume is better.
    Mayweather fought prime Corrales and Castillo in their primes, both of whom are better fighters than Kessler.

      Eubank?, Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins, Jones(at 36).
      Pretty close, Mayweather has a few more names though. I voted Calzaghe because I know Mayweather fans will come in here hating on Joe when in reality Mayweather hasn't done much more.

        Calzaghe has one of the greatest resumes of all time. Eubank, Hopkins, Jones. I'd like to see any fighter in history challenge that.

          What victories did he have that would make him even top 10 p4p when RJJ was p4p #1?
          skills wise Joe could have been number 1 p4p... also he fought kessler then hopkins and then jones JR.. he deserves alot of props for fighting those 3 dangerous fighters in a row....

            Fighting bums at 168 then moving up and beating old men, doesn't make a great resume. And the Kessler argument goes out the window after Ward brutalized him.


            MAYWEATHER>>JOE
            I disagree with that. Kessler is a good boxer and a good name on anyone's resume, he was just beaten by another good boxer in Ward. Being beaten by Ward is not shameful at all.

              kessler in his prime was so much better than corrales.. rip corrales, but he was not on kesslers level...

                  I don't think it's close to be completely honest. Look at the age difference. Surely, Floyd will fight 2-3 more career enhancing opponents before 36.

                    In that case, Judah, ODLH, Castillo,Corrales,Hatton and Chavez don't count as they all lost after they fought Floyd.
