Did Floyd Mayweather beat 10 (future) Hall of Famers ?

arturo gatti

You dont know @@@@ about boxing. Gatti getting in based on his fights with Ward alone...

[odogg8121]

anyone who loses to baldomir while they are in their prime doesn't get in the hall of fame.

Lewis was KO'd by Rock (who imo its good at all) but Lewis still gets in easy right? do you agree with that?

[Calabis]

how do you disagree with a fact? he turned down 8 million to fight Margarito...

i still believe margarito could have beaten floyd...
styles make fights...

How do you ignore that he wanted 10 mil to fight Cotto or Margarito back then and Bob told him he wasn't getting 10 mil, which is when he fought CB for 8,000,001.00 to piss off Arum, the rest is history.

No, we did not. As you see a lot of times "beating a Hall of Famer" doesn't mean that much. For example when Hopkins beat Roy Jones in the rematch, Jones was considered to be past prime as a boxer.
Same when Roy himself beat Trinidad: both were considered well past it but Tito was so much out of his weight class AND past his prime that it shouldn't count either as "beating a Hall of Famer".
Or SRR beat Henry Armstrong when Armstrong was past his prime AND way out of his natural weight class.
Or Roy Jones beat Mike McCallum when McCallum was past his prime

i agree as well. i had no idea how hard it is to beat an active future hofer looking at the numbers..roy had 6 and pernell had 5 so maybe this era is not as weak as many said it was.. if floyd can defeat 10 while they are still in championship form that says alot.

as for gatti he is borderline skill wise but he did accomplish alot

130 ibf champ 3 title defenses
140 wbc champ 2 title defenses

vernon had great skill but his accomplishments didnt measure up to what gatti did in terms of successfully defending your title.

Just because a grandpa won his biggest fight all of the sudden he became a teenager raging with sex hormones.

Shane's testosterone levels probably were higher than a teenager's
