Just compare their fights with Jesus Chavez..and keep in mind in addition to everythink, Erik fought one handed Chavez
Erik Morales is greater than Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Going undefeated is so shallow a criteria. Want some more example?
What about JCC jr? Are you hoing to tell me he is better than Mike McCallum?
When has PPV become a barometer for greatness?
Defense is a vague criteria to become quantifiable. How you measure the thing? By observing? So boxing becomes a diving competition now? You rate it by being like a judge of pageant competetions? Wow, try harder boy.Comment

At no point in his lifetime would erik morales ever be able to beat floyd mayweather jr if they fought. Erik is a greaat champion, a 1st ballot HOF'er and a has given us some legendary fights.
But on his best day he would get anhilated by floyd. And thats not a knock on morales but floyd is superior to him in every way!Comment

Head to Head match-up has little to do with rating greatness relative to each other.At no point in his lifetime would erik morales ever be able to beat floyd mayweather jr if they fought. Erik is a greaat champion, a 1st ballot HOF'er and a has given us some legendary fights.
But on his best day he would get anhilated by floyd. And thats not a knock on morales but floyd is superior to him in every way!
So Look at Roy Jones and Glen Johnson.
Johnson beat Jones but have you seen any ATG list that has Johnson over Roy?
Zero.Comment

Johnson won Jones when Roy was far from his prime..Mayweather was able to beat Erik at any point of his carier..Comment

Johnson, at some point in Roy's life, was able to KO him. At no point in floyd's life will erik ever be able to do that.
As for accomplishments, floyd mayweather has been one of the 2 or 3 best p4p fighters in the world for roughly 8-10 years. His resume speaks for itself.
Morales has had great fights, but Ward and Gatti had 3 great ones and that doesn't make them any better fighters. I have tremendous respect for morales.
But any way you cut it, titles, weight classes, p4p, skills, he can't compare to floyd mayweather.Comment

Good examples you can add Douglas and Tyson here. But Saddler and Jones had to poor recrords to be comparable with Pep and MAB..and Barrera has beaten Erik and McKinney who both TKO JonesComment
