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

[thuggery]

Completely dominant one sided poll

[Mr. Philadel]

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

[The Tase]

Floyd has never faced a legit Hall of Famer IN THEIR PRIME.

Floyd's best win is diego corrales.

FACTS.

[dubgee123]

He has fougt has beens in each division other than corrales at 130 and castillo at 135 and he lost that first fight with him. He fought an old de la hoya an old mosley and a jr welterweight in hatton at 147. He could have fought mosely years ago but no. He couldve fought margarito and of course pac man. WHat about paul williams and sergio too. He is not in the same breath as leonard hagler hearns and duran. They all fought each other and were all at different weights but they did fight the best. Mayweather ducked and jived and made his money fighting hispanics on mexican holidays. He says he had the highest ppv all time. That wasnt him that was who he was fighting. Oscar De la hoya

If any one else had Floyd's exact resume, forget about top 5 in the last 25 years. They'd claim top 15 ATG. Especially if it was a Mexican fighter or a fighter from a nationality tat doesn't have many top 50 ATG's.

That is a personal speculation at best, and absolute fanboy nonsense at worst.

Not even close

1.Both Marquez brothers
2.RJJ
3.B-Hop
4.Barrera
5.Holyfield
6.Pacquiao
7.Eubank
8.McCallum
9.Gonzalez
10.Toney

thats 11 and I am sure if I really thought about it I cold name another 5+ who have better resumes

To be honest you could make a good argument Nonito Donaire and Andre Ward already have at least equal resumes to Floyd's

That's a horrible list. How come fat boy Toney is on that list?

I like Eubank, he's a slick black Brit. but he's resume is not better than FLoyd
Also Lewis should be top 2 on that list.

I'm a Floyd fan but,

[bojangles1987]

Does Whitaker count? If he does, then:

Roy
Whitaker
Holyfield
Pacquiao...

There may be someone else I'm forgetting. Hopkins and Mayweather is debatable, I'd say Mayweather should be in that spot ahead of him. Maybe Chavez? I'm not sure what years he had the majority of his best wins.

So Mayweather hits that five spot for me, if there isn't someone obvious I'm forgetting.
