He is in his prime, future hall of fame and beat all the best fighters of the divitions exept Mares because his promoters. I think not only Mayweather, if not the only two fighters who have defeated a rival that level are under equal conditions are Marquez and Pacquiao between them

    I'm wrong????
    Floyd has a bunch of those. Rigo has years to reach Floyd's status and many more victories like this.

      After that he fought past prime greats.

      He could have achieved greatness in 07/08 but he chose to "retire"
      You have got to be talking about Matthysse.

I don't think Mayweather has ever entered a fight with those type of circumstances. Career wise I don't think anything on Mayweather's resume was as important.
        let HBO announcers and bert sugar tell it..this is mayweathers biggest test then they flip flop in anger after he wins

          Today's boxing fan is clueless about the sport. They so badly want to find a category that they can pick someone over Floyd in. They say Flyd always wins the fantasy fights, but he loses them too. And when you see the same ole posters/rejects criticizing Floyd...probably to get a rise out of his fans more than anything posting about Floyd's greatness, Floyd was never great. That's ok. Floyd has more fans who appreciate him now than ever before. Dlh left Arum, and became big, and Floyd has done the same. Karma

            Nope.

            Matthysse didn't "retire" in 07/08 to avoid prime Cotto, Margarito, and Paul Williams.

              Oscar was as an important win for Money in terms of what it did for his career, that is, increase relevance. However if Mayweather would have lost to DLH it wouldn't have had thrown him into obscurity like a loss for Rigo vs Donaire

                well cotto said himself he didnt truly pursue a fight with FMW. And thelikelyhood of that fight being made in 08 is slim.. TR vs GB but your a idiot anyway!

                and the only top welter to face paul was Margarito not cotto..

                  Nope, Corrales is Floyd's greatest win, but Donaire was TOP 5 P4P fighter, undefeated for 10 years and was (and still is) considered as one of the most dangerous fighters in the game. Rigo totally outclassed him and that was his 12 fight as a pro...
                  Floyd is not even close

                    Floyd was in "retirement" in 08 genius.

                      Neither did Floyd.
