what defining fights did mayweather have ?

[M.I.C.]

Floyd has been top 10 P4P over a decade yet TS suggests he has no defining fights, I guess in his opinion u have to lose to have a defining fight.

Popular doesnt equate to HOF material. In my opinion, Oscar should not be inducted into the hall of fame. He's lost pretty much all of his big fights.

Pernell Whitaker? Julio Cesar Chavez? Hector Camacho? Genaro Hernandez? Oscar de la Hoya was already a lock to be inducted into the Hall of Fame before he turned 25.

People seem to think the fights Oscar lost were the only big fights he ever had...

You are correct. I don't think anyone can despise Oscar's ***ggot ass more than myself. However, that mu****a is a HOF fighter, just not an ATG. But you are 100% right, Oscar is a fraud of epic proportions.

do you think boxing in the '90s would have been affected if oscar wasn't as successful as he was?

Never applied it to him. Only stated that he has only fought 1 future HOF fighter in his career. Given his status and star power, you would think he'd have quite a few under his belt.

The HoF isn't that hard to get into. Even a guy like Zab Judah might have a shot at getting in, though he obviously isn't a sure thing. I would be very surprised if less than 5 of the opponents on Mayweather's resume make it into the IBHOF.

Mayweather's Resume:

Obvious First Ballot Hall of Famers:
Oscar de la Hoya
Juan Manuel Marquez
Shane Mosley

Likely Hall of Famers:
Genaro Hernandez
Diego Corrales
Jose Luis Castillo
Arturo Gatti (only because of popularity)
Ricky Hatton

Champions (WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO):
Gregario Vagas
Carlos Hernandez
Jesus Chavez (WBC champion at 130, IBF champion at 135)
DeMarcus Corley
Sharmba Mitchell
Zab Judah (2-time 140 champion, lineal 147 champion)
Carlos Baldomir (lineal champion)

Contenders w/out a major (WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO) title:
Angel Manfredy
Carlos Alberto Ramon Rios
Justin Juuko
Carlos Gerena
Emanuel Augustus
Victoriano Sosa
Philip N'dou
Henry Bruseles

100 percent correct. A lot of people assume only the greatest fighters get in the HOF. If you look at all of the fighters in it you can see that's not the case.

[IMDAZED]

Prior to that though, even Floyd said he had no interest in fighting him.

Ok... and?

[Uturn]

Hmmm good question! Probably Mosley as he's catched alot of fans after that fight other then that though i dunno he never got props for his opposistion pre-before the Mosley fight. Has to be Mosley if anyone.
