Winning the glove dispute to force a fighter to fight in pillow gloves
What's Floyd's greatest legacy-defining win?

as much as I dislike mayweather I thought the corrales fight was his break through and most impressive performance. I really thought at the time that corrales was going to hurt and stop Floyd but he really did a number on coralles. that was an impressive win. as far as legacy defining win he doesn't have oneLast edited by beez721; 10-05-2014, 01:11 AM.Comment

Genaro Hernandez
Diego Corrales
Jose Luis Castillo x2
Oscar De La Hoya
Saul Alvarez
Those 5 right there are my fav Floyd performances. I know a lot of guys in here making it seem like Floyd's resume is "weak" but who is missing really? Antonio Margarito damn sure aint no HOF and he was just another slow come forward fighter. Sergio Martinez was just too big for Floyd i know u guys really want to see the man lose but cmon lol. You could make an argument that he should of fought Paul Williams but Floyd still fought Shane Mosley when Sugar was like the # 2 best welterweight in the world. The only one that's really missing on Floyd's HOF resume is Manny Pacquia. I really wish we get that fight sooner rather than later!Comment

but mosley was p4p #3 according to ring magazine. i mean an old guy who looked terrible for years then scores an upset clinchfest win is definitely one of the best fighters in boxing right?Comment

Prime for Prime both Mosley/ODLH would had beaten Mayweather. ODLH wouldn't beat Pacquiao though while Mosley @ LW likely could..
As for Mosley being ranked #2, that was just an over-reaction due to beating Margarito.Comment

yea,,,mosely was done well before then. marg was nothing without those loaded gloves as cotto showed in the rematch. I agree that a young dlh also would have beaten him with that jab. he gave him fits with it when he was well past it in there first fightComment

You guys need to understand that Floyd Mayweather Jr didn't start "calling thr shots" until 2007. Everything prior to that was Mr. Scumbag Arum on the steering wheel. Also, you guys need to take into consideration that Floyd Mayweather before 2007 was high risk, low reward for big stars such as a prime Mosley and De La Hoya. Floyd kept calling them out with no answers back, well Shane actually responded saying he had a messed up tooth or something along those lines..Comment
