Baldomir and Ortiz has 10+ weight advantages over Mayweather. Do you give him credit for those fights?

Nobody cares about that. Floyd was 149 and 150 on fight night in those fights. Nobody says anything lol. But it's an obstacle for Pacquiao who was also weighing in at 148-150 on FN just like Floyd.
Castillo and Corrales were WW's[mid 140s] on FN against Floyd, while Floyd was 134 and 138 respectively[don't have the exact weights so i'm going off memory] on FN. In the same weight class[130], Pacquiao was coming in the mid 140s on fight night.
Not many will agree despite it being fact, but Manny Pacquiao at 126-130 was bigger than Floyd Mayweather was at 135 on fight nights. If they don't believe it, just go watch their fights from that time and look at their fight night weights. It's now that they're actually the same size.

When are people going to understand that this era in boxing didn't produce a lot of great fighters like the past did? There are only a very short few that actually stood out above the rest in Floyd's and Manny's era. Don't get me wrong, if Floyd was smart he would have just cleaned out the 147 division before he retired for two years(doubt these fights would happen even if he wanted them to because of TopRank and the feud with them and Floyd and not to mention Golden Boy since the co-promote with Floyd). It doesn't matter who he defeated at 147 at any stage of their career he still would not be a Top 10 ATG because this era just didn't produce a lot of special fighters to give him that claim.

the thing is tho mayweather picks and chooses his opponents very carefully, he didnt fight cotto when everybody wanted that fight in 08. he didnt fight margarito which would have been a hell of a fight, and he didnt fight pacman. dont get me wrong, mayweather is the best boxer iv ever seen, but he doesnt like a challenge much does he!
then you have the stans saying 9 time champ this, this guy was the number 1 in his division etc etc. well so were the three guys i mentioned in the above paragraph at some point. all of which would have been better fights than baldomir, ortiz and mosley. i dont have a problem with his mosley fight for the record.

Floyd is acherry picker plain and simple.
Fight fans: hey Floyd we want to see u test yourself against Martinez at 154!
Floyd well I'm going to fight a war ravaged past prime Cotto instead!
Haha the fact is that some on the list were #1 but that didn't mean they werethe most dangerous in that division. Baldomir is a great example
