    Beating Arguello twice is great in your eyes. Yet, you critisize Mayweather for fighting Marquez at 147, a weight where Marquez actually did something.

    Do tell, what did Arguello do at 140 (His 4th weight class) to make that such a great win?

    I mean, it was a good win, the first one. But you critisize Mayweather's opposition "Passed prime, moved up in weight" then all of a sudden that's a great win for Pryor? Different set of standards, isn't it?

    Any chance of getting that Top 10 list from 03-Present with fighters with a better resume than Mayweather, by the way? I'd love to see it.

      Doesn't he mean is Floyds legacy in the top 5 for boxers who were active in the last 25 years as opposed to fights they have fought in the last 25 years?
      I'm sure he means the last 25 years of fights.

      Otherwise Duran, Hearns, Leonard etc would put both Pac and Floyd off the list.

      And it's not like Tysons entire career is stronger than Floyd either. We get to add 2 names to the already quite weak list of wins he has.

      Tyson is more about potential than a proven resume.

        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.
        lol Toney beat McCallum, Eubank beat Benn which is faaaaaaar ahead of anyone Floyd has beaten. But like I said before Donaire and Ward have or are about to pass him too in terms of resume, thats who we should be talking about

          Mayweather didn't make weight that win is meaningless

            Arguello was favourite for the first fight, Arguello was moving up one weight class from his previous bout not two, Pryor made the contracted weight.

            Enought reason's?

                Pryor get's credit because he was the underdog but it doesn't change the fact that Arguello was on his last legs and clearly well out of his element a 140.

                And what did Arguello do at 140? Nothing.

                Marquez has actually done something at 147.


                Any chance on that Top 10 list?

                    No, because he lost a majority of his big fights.
