Does Floyd Mayweather Jr have a top 5 resume (of the last 25 years)

[4Corners]

There's some straight up ignorance going on in this poll.

As far as a complete list of wins and where those guys were at the times, he is Top 5.

Only Whitaker, Holyfield, and Pacquiao slightly are clearly above Floyd the last 25 years. Hopkins and Lewis are debatable, but let's list those wins.

Hopkins beat Mercado, Jackson, Holmes, Trinidad, Daniels, Joppy, Allen, De La Hoya, Eastman, Tarver, Wright, Pavlik, and Pascal.

Lewis beat Ruddock, Tucker, Bruno, Jackson, McCall, Akinwande, Golota, Briggs, Holyfield, Grant, Botha, Rahman, and Vitali. I don't give him credit for Tyson, Mike hadn't done anything of note in like 4 years by 2002.

Foyd has beat Genaro, Manfredy, Corrales, C. Hernandez, Chavez, Castillo, Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto.

I may actually give him an edge over Lewis, and it's debatable with Hopkins.

And as far as the others possibly up there....Tyson, Toney, Jones, De La Hoya, Marquez, Barrera, Morales, Floyd has a better list of wins than those guys.

atm...Hopkins, Cotto and Froch have fought the toughest fights imo of the ACTIVE dudes in the game

atm...Hopkins, Pac, Roy and Floyd have accomplished the most imo of the ACTIVE dudes in the game

I wouldn't put Floyd's resume in the top nickel of the last 25 yrs....can't reward him for him taking time off when his division was the hottest in the sport...and what makes it even crazier is that I feel as though he would've beaten them all with only Mosley and Cotto coming close to beating him...but he took time off for whatever reasons

he came back and still fought Mosley and Cotto but they wasn't the same fighters they were when Floyd skipped town for a minute...to keep it 100, neither was Floyd...but it is what it is

Great post.

Does anybody here take losses into account? If I follow the logic of some of the posters in this thread, a fighter can beat prime SRR and lose all his other fights and he'll have the greatest resume of all time.

In what alternate universe is this a good resume over the last 10 years, the best wins are battle worn Cotto or shot ODLH who else 40 year old Mosley? Zab Judah, JMM jumping up two weight classes......GTFO.

Phillip Ndou

DeMarcus Corley

Arturo Gatti

Zab Judah

Carlos Manuel Baldomir

Oscar De La Hoya

Ricky Hatton

Juan Manuel Marquez

Shane Mosley

Victor Ortiz

Miguel Cotto

is one of the worst resumes of all time IMO! And to top it off none of his fights were great fights or real interesting. Boring!

Perfect example of a Pac fan post Cotto onwards.

Very debatable. His accomplishments and record show yes but his inactivity gets in the way. When you look at the past 25 and the pound for pound greats, including heavyweight. I would and always will say Roy Jones Jr has been the best to lace gloves the past 50 years while he was on top, which was almost 10 years himself! Compared to Roy, No. Compared to the heavyweight fighters of the late 80's and 90's , yes!

perfect example of you not making a lick of sense!

Agreed. By a lot of people's logic Buster Douglas has one of the best resumes over the past 25 years because his win over a prime/undefeated Tyson >>>>> most fighters best win over the past 25 years. And his losses aren't even considered.

I'm pretty sure you and everyone else knows precisely what I'm getting at.
