Mayweather is better than Sweet Pea

[SonOfCuba]

The problem with Mayweather is that he beat an old De La Hoya, a shot Mosley, and a beaten up Cotto.

I think Floyd is better because I think he's done it longer, is more versatile, but most of all if 2 guys are close and one is a Southpaw then I will always give more props to the righty because I think being a Southpaw is the biggest advantage in all of pro sports and times that by 10 in boxing. Its a huge huge huge advantage. Pea would still be great but wouldnt be as good if he were a righty and Floyd would be seen as maybe the best ever if he were a Southpaw. No one wouldve came close to beating him

I think Cotto would give Pernell hell, just like he gave Floyd hell but worse. I'm not sure if Pernell would beat Corrales, De La Hoya at 154, or even Canelo especially at the age of 36 like Floyd did.

He arguably beat a near prime De La Hoya when he was old and coked up. Bull**** you're not sure he could beat the version Floyd beat. He would obliterate Corrales and Alvarez and definitely beat Cotto.

But before that fight he almost lost to Hurtado and almost lost to Rivera in the first fight.

He gave Oscar stylistic issues but he really didn't do much in that fight himself, so he could lose to a lot of guys at that point of his career to guys that are very good.

Whitaker used to be far ahead but Mayweather is slowly but surely catching up.

Still Whitaker for me though.

If you don't think out throwing, out landing and scoring a knockdown is "doing much" than I don't know what to tell you.

2 fights for easy comparison:

Whitaker vs Chavez
Floyd vs JL Castillo

If Floyd was a southpaw he wouldn't even use the same style. It's all speculation.

whitaker would have wanted to fight, (and beat) cotto, mosley, and dlh in their primes, and would have spotted manny his drug supply (and beat him too)..wouldn't think twice about fighting everybody mayweather is accused of ducking (margarito, tsyzu, etc)...lol...both great little guys...ethics separates them...
