        You may want to read up on the list of fighters Robinson beat. Does the name Jake LaMotta, Carmen Basilio, Gene Fullmer, Carl 'Bobo' Olson, Henry Armstrong, Rocky Graziano and Kid Gavilan

        learn boxing. Now name one name on Mayweathers resume ranked in the top 50-100 that was less than 34 years old......

          the reality is yes. If you understand boxing and the history, floyd always came in the ring around 139-141 when he was at the lower wieghts, and anyting above 140 makes him a welter. Back in SRL day, you did not get the benefit of day before weigh in.

          So to put in proper context, SRL and hearns all in todays era could have stripped all water weight and carbs and got in around 140 too, and then bulked up the day before and night before, so that the day off they can come in totally strong and not have their performance impacted.

          Based off of todays standards, no was not a welter. But keep in mind the comparison is to fighters of era's where they weighed in the day of.

              He's beaten elite fighters at 130, 135, 140, 147 and 154. It makes me laugh that people call him a cherrypicker. He's beaten the best for years.

              It's a shame that so many people are jealous of him.
              please name me a elite fighter floyd fought at 140 & 154. also taking out mosley who was 38 going on 39 & was 1 year 5 months of his last fight, name me a elite fighter floyd fought at 147.

              thanks in advance.

                    Was expecting a hard question. Anyway, Carlos Baldomir, although that was somewhat of a robbery.

                      Natural Welterweights (I.E. Joshua Clottey as just one example, or how about Carlos Baldomir) come in at 155-160 on fight night.

                      Floyd came in at 150 Vs Oscar and at 148 on fight night, doesn't look like a natural Welterweight to me.
