    at what time period do you consider was mayweathers prime?

    For me it was 04 to 07

    Learned from the Castillo fights, showed heart and he could adjust ...won titles from 140 to 154 and had the same athleticism of his youth combined with experience, better accuracy and defense...he combined potshotting and combos great in this period....before that he threw combos, after he was more a potshotter and counterpuncher


    he filled out at 140 wish he stayed longer

    During this period he called out odlh, tsyzu, Mosley, everyone between 135 thru 54 and said he was the best...went on to prove it

    Absolute peak. From Gatti to Judah.

      I'd say when he was at Junior Welterweight. He looked pretty damn strong as he was fast.

        Agreed and it seemed like he mastered all phases of fighting and looked comfy in the ring

          I gave the same answer, and you don't respond to me because you're mad that I expose Floyd.

          So petty.

              I agree, around mid 2000's Floyd combined offence and defence better than few fighters ive ever seen

                  2001-2007.

                  The best Mayweather ever was probably either 2001 against Corrales or 2005 against Gatti.

                  I'd say his early prime was 2001-2003 at 130-135. His absolute prime was 2004-2006 at 140-147. His latter prime was 2007 at 147 and 154. Could have had another 1-3 prime years possibly had he not "retired" after Hatton.

                    What you talking about...we basically said his prime was the same time
                    Read.how I started the thread
                    Expose? What?

                    You can't expose a 37 year old dude been a champ since 98
