    To be critical of his opponent selection even though he's facing the top guys within his division, that in itself makes him overrated. Not by me though.

      He is just overrated when it comes to all-time ranking-- no way his resume compares to the top guys in history that fought other top guys....

      Ali had frazier, foreman
      oscar had ike, tito, shane, vargas, hopkins, floyd, manny

          and he lost most of those. that doesnt make him any greater.

            I would rate Carl Froch over Mayweather.

              He beat ike, got robbed vs tito, got robbed in the second mosely fight, beat up a roided vargas, bumped up to fight 160 kingpin hopkins, fought #1 p4p fighters floyd and manny at the end of his career.. Nobody fought tougher competition over the years than oscar....

              Floyd would have some losses too if he had fought everyone like oscar did....

                i dont think he got robbed against tito. the vargas win wasnt what it should have been, he lost the first ight to mosely had a close second fight, i also dont think he was robbed. oscar is not a greater fighter than floyd.

                    his skillz makes people think he can go far and defeat everyone
                    but then
                    he refuses to show and prove people about what they believe is true

                    beating paper champs is what his resume made of

                    him cherrypicking his opponents is the reason why he seems to be overated

                      Im not saying oscar is p4p better than floyd... Im just saying floyd is slightly overrated in terms of ATG because he hasnt tested himself and avoided some challengers like prime cotto, shane, margs, hatton at 140, casamoyer and frietas at 135, manny.... not to mention moving up and fighting serg like oscar did with hopkins.... If floyd took those types of fights he would def rank higher in the ATG rankings IMO
