we saw a better conditioned Marquez than before, though, and his performance showed he could compete at the weight with the right preparation. in the third of their rematches, he was even more accustomed to carrying the weight. Mayweather likely beats any welterweight version of Marquez handily, but the version he beat in reality was the trial-run version, ie. the weakest version possible.

Fl oyds resume will appreciate with time no matter what some internet haters ***** about. Pacquiao will stay higher unless he gets lineal. At 154 and 147 again. If he does fight martinez anywhere from 155 through 160 its higher but thats a fantasy

Here are those 10 fighters:
Diego Corrales
Jose Luis Castillo
Arturo Gatti (he will be inducted this year)
Zab Judah
Oscar De La Hoya
Ricky Hatton
Juan Manuel Marquez
Shane Mosley
Miguel Cotto
Genaro Hernandez
let me just say that:
- 6 of them are borderline Hall of Famers which in my opinion will ALL end up in the Hall of Fame even though some people say they don't deserve it. (Hatton, Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah)
- 2 were way past their prime (Shane Mosley, and some people might say also De La Hoya)
- 1 was way out of his weight class at the time of the fight (Juan Manuel Marquez)
- The 10th guy is Miguel Cotto, who gave Floyd hell in my opinion and some people say Cotto was also way past his prime.
Vote on the poll and explain which of these 10 opponents of Mayweather should be in the Hall of Fame (some day).
anybody with a modicum of intelligence will tell you that the only TRUE LEGIT HALL OF FAMERS THAT FLOYD HAS BEATEN is a past prime oscar, shane and juan manuel marquez.
None of those other guys are legit bona fide true hall of famers.
Gatti and Corrales will get in due to popularity and because of their tragic ending to their lives.
Hatton will get in because of popularity.
If you believe in roiders not being allowed in the Hall then you can scratch shane of that list.
that is the truth.

i believe Mayweather is a cut above in H2H terms, but all three of these men are truly elite fighters. there are subdivisions even within elite status, but Mayweather, Pacquiao and Marquez are the three very most effective fighters of recent times. in principle at least, one has to consider them close peers.
please do not perceive any mean spirit in my words, jaestix1. i am an admirer of mr. Mayweather.
