Floyd Mayweather Jr has beaten 15 world champions

[JK1700]

The later half of Floyd's career is embarrassing. Just look at the competition after Jose Luis Castillo. Even more so....his last 3 fights.

A lot of the names on that list are WELL past their primes.

So Floyd dominating De La Hoya, Hatton and Mosley when they were all coming off impressive wins somehow translates into "embarrassing" yet Pacquiao fighting Morales after he lost every round to Zahir Raheem, and Hatton, Cotto and Margarito after they were all brutally KO'd is perfectly justified? Your hate just doesn't make any sense at all. But i'm not suprised. I have experienced your ignorance many times before.

Both posts are garbage and the fact that you are both mods just proves my the point that this site needs an overhaul to regain any credibility. There's too many biased idiots that have no idea about the sport.

[77Ritchie77]

9 of them were champs when mayweather fought them
: hernandez, corrales, gatti, judah (if you count him, he lost his last fight to baldomir but kept title), baldomir, de la hoya, hatton, marquez, mosley
- hatton and marquex were champions in a lower weight class.
- so at least 6 max 9 current champions and 15 title holders and castillo twice.

manny pacquiao
- sasakul (current)
- ledwaba (current)
- barrera - didn't have a title, but was division king without a belt.
- marquez (current)
- morales
- larios
- solis
- diaz (current)
- hatton (current - but only ring belt and ibo)
- cotto (current)
- clottey

- i thought manny wouldve beaten more TITLEISTS, but keep in mind great wins over morales did not have world titles on the line.
- only 5-7 current titleists, 11 former or current titleists, with two wins over barrera and morales

floyd fought him at 147 where he looked worse, ok win!

floyd beat a lw at ww, big deal, not so good win!

shane's 39 and inactive for 1.5 years almost, pretty good win still, but it is what it is.....all facts!

cotto and margo are the reasons why floyd retoired , remember that too!..clottey was consdired one of the avoided ww, pac fought him!..pac beat these 2 in his 7th weightclass, and fighting margo at another weightclass!...thus, the reason floyd's resume is laughable to pacquiao!

Interesting points, alot of people didn't know this.

Does anyone know where the idea of Joshua Clottey being an avoided Welterweight came from? I must have missed it throughout the last decade

Your argument is flawed for several reasons.

1. The Morales wins cannot be described as "great" in any sense. This is because Morales was completely dominated by Zahir Raheem in the fight prior. Losing every round. He was clearly finished but Pacquiao never showed any interest in fighting the winner and instead picked Morales a division below where Raheem gave him a boxing lesson. What's even more interesting about the fight is that it was turning out exactly the same as the first one until Erik's legs gave out from the weight drain. How that can be called a "great win" is beyond me.

2. People say "World champion doesnt mean the best" but it's the most clear identification of a fighter's skill level. I don't know any other fighter who has beaten 15 world champions right now. Larios and Solis are both average fighters. Larios had to move up 2 divisions to face Pacquiao and was KO'd in 3rounds in his previous fight by Israel Vasquez. Solis still hasnt won a belt.

3. Hatton's IBO belt may have counted as a "world title" but in reality nobody takes the IBO titles seriously. The WBC belts are the most important. No matter how you try and twist the situation, Floyd has beaten 6 more world champions. And it should be 7 because Marquez clearly beat Pacquiao in the second fight.
