If it wasn't a great resume you wouldn't see so many people so desperate to try and discredit it.
Floyd's Resume

And he beat Cotto and Mosley anyways. I don't think Antonio Margarito would have been a legacy changer for Mayweather. Pacquiao is the only thing that's been legacy changing for Floyd.Thanks *****.
Who says he is?
He didn't lose to Whitaker. He also won a lot of his big fights.
If Mayweather wouldn't of been P4P for 15 years with the resume Oscar had. That's my opinion. Hell he took off more than a year and let the WWs beat each other. How does that count for P4P material?
Oscar is great. But he's not greater then Floyd or Pacquiao.Comment

You can draw your own conclusions; he may have 3-4 HOF's on his resume, but none of them were even close to their prime. I think that when you put it in context it's a pretty overrated resume.Last edited by BafanaBafana; 02-15-2014, 10:25 PM.Comment

I don't think he'd close to 160, Floyd would never and will never fight there. He's too small.
Perhaps much bigger was a bad word choice. Fact is he was bigger, and noticeably.Comment

Yea how many years after? Cotto had to get two beatings for someone as risk adverse as Floyd to fight him. Mosley had to go on a 16month+ inactivity.
Again, who is saying he is greater?Comment

Still not a Middleweight(Oscar). Seeing him in there against Hopkins, right off the bat you could tell the major difference. But Oscar dared to be even greater(though the cw hurts the overall credibility), something Floyd is too risk adverse to do a lot of the times. Yes the catch weight was shit from Oscar too.Comment

He beat 5 Top 10 fighters at 130. Genaro and Corrales were the #1 guys there when he fought them. Manfredy, Hernandez, and Chavez were others in the Top 10.154:
Canelo (2013)
Cotto (2012)
De La Hoya (2007)
147:
Mosely (2010)
Marquez (2009)
Hatton (2007)
Baldomir (2006)
Judah (2006)
140:
Gatti (2005)
135:
Castillo (2002)
130:
Corrales (2001)
Genaro (1998)
You can draw your own conclusions, but I think that when you put it in context it's a pretty overrated resume.
He beat 1 Top 10 fighter at 135, but it was the best fighter there and best Lightweight of that era, Castillo.
He beat 2 Top 10 fighters at 140, Corley and Gatti. Floyd tried to fight Tszyu there, who ended up losing to Hatton in his comeback trail, and Hatton wouldn't fight Floyd in 2005. But 140 was mehhh.
He's beaten 5 Top 10 fighters at 147, and Mosley was the real #1 guy there after beating Margarito. Ortiz, Guerrero, Judah, and Baldomir were the others. Not to mention he beat Hatton, who was the #1 140 and Top 10 P4P, and Marquez who would go on to KO Pac at that weight.
He's beaten 3 Top 10 fighters at 154, including Canelo and Cotto who were the #1 guys there.
That's pretty good for a guy who's legacy is supposedly questionable.Comment
