Does Floyd have a top 5 resume? I think a serious case could be made for Floyd here.
Top resumes of the last 25 years
(No particular order)
Holyfield
Lewis
Hopkins
Pacquaio
Whitaker
Also in consideration:
Tyson-Toney-Whitaker-Morales-Barrera-De La Hoya
Where does Floyd fit in among that group(I'm sure I didn't include a few fighters)
Is Floyd's resume top 5?

Genaro, Manfredy, Corrales, C. Hernandez, Chavez, Castillo, Gatti, Judah, Baldomir, De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto.
Floyd's resume is better than Oscar, Toney, Tyson, Barrera, Morales, Marquez, and possibly Hopkins. I mean really go through the wins and who they beat.
I'd say only Holyfield, Lewis, Whitaker, and barely Pacquiao have a better resume the past 25 years. He can surpass Pacquiao too, if he goes on to have 3-4 more solid/good wins and Manny doesn't do much from now on.Last edited by 4Corners; 03-01-2013, 12:33 AM.

I respect Mayweather Skills but lets be honest...The Last Few Eras of boxing haven't been all that great, I would say Mayweather was part of a Weak Era in which his Skills was so far ahead of everybody that he never got a rival or even challenged much...and the people most fans claim he "DUCKED" to be honest, none of them would have defeated Mayweather ANYWAY
ONly fighters I thought for sure would beat Mayweather in his ERA was Winky Wright and Vernon Forrest and at that time none of the fans was calling for Mayweather to fight any of those fighters they was busy trying to get him to fight Cotto and Margarito...I'm just going to say it...those two end up being some of the most OVERRATED FIGHTERS OF THEIR ERA! And in their Prime they would not have defeated Mayweather anyway!
So bottom line in my honest unbiased opinion, it is nothing on Mayweather Resume currently and it is no fight(s) currently that can move his Resume Up to "TOP 5"
His ERA just did not produce many Greats or All Time Greats so he is the product of a WEAK ERA and he as the start of the HYPE ERA...Mayweather himself was hyped but after him fighters was Hyped Up so they could try to find somebody to compete with him and most of them FAILED to live up to the HYPELast edited by KnockUTheFukOut; 03-01-2013, 12:35 AM.
