Mayweather #7 All-Time according to Boxrec.

[KnockoutNed]

By your logic Jack Taylor (42-40) and Gipsey Daniels (22 losses) should be rated higher than Max Schmeling.

And Rustico Torrecampo (15-8) should be ranked above Manny Pacquiao.

According to your thinking, Joey Maxim should be above Floyd Patterson, and Antonio Tarver and Denis Lebedev should be ahead of Roy Jones.

Jones has a win over Tarver and was shot in subsequent matches with Tarver and Lebedev(who was prime and world level not an out of shape 10 yrs past prime neverwas). Pacquiao was green and not world level yet. Schemling of course proved himself against the great Louis. The others also fought against ATG level opposition.
Wlad was in his prime when brutalized in only seconds by the failed contender retiree and was forever terrified of a rematch.

Mayweather's resume is loads better than Roy Jones's.

RJJ has Hopkins and Lights out on his resume.

FM vs Pacquiao is the most significant fight on his resume, yet it was fought AFTER he got brutally KO'ed.

we're not talking about a nice little right hand where Pac stumbled and couldn't get up, but one that put him out on the canvas motionless for 5+ mnutes. Took him a while to came back from it.

One of the worst in boxing History.

just saying. IF he had fought him closer to his prime, it would've been different.

Floyd is great.

Pacquiao was better than James Toney. Pacquiao was viewed as a top 2 P4P fighter when Mayweather beat him was Toney?

Why do you keep saying this? No way in hell was Pacquiao #2 P4P at the time of the Mayweather fight.

[Public_Enemy]

Most logical boxing fans did not think Pacquiao was going to knock Floyd out and this certainly Isn't the site to reference when It comes to logical boxing fans. Mayweather deserves credit for beating Pacquiao, no doubt. My question that seems to be being avoided Is who has Mayweather beat that was better than James Toney and who other than Chico Corrales has Floyd beat In there prime.

I would say Castillo and Hatton. Castillo beat everyone at lightweight. That's a really underrated win for Floyd.

Why do you keep saying this? No way in hell was Pacquiao #2 P4P at the time of the Mayweather fight.

After he got Ko'ed by Marquez, andre ward too over #2, his ranking took a big dip.

[SkillspayBills]

He's top 15 so I don't mind this at all.

Pac was definitely ranked #2 p4p

[BrometheusBob.]

He'd be #3 if he retired now, look at the points under the star rating.

Career ratings and active ratings are calculated differently. His current score won't be the score he gets for his overall career.

Might be worth noting that max rating of some boxers is two or three times May's max rating. SRR had a rating of 6000+ at some point according to Boxrec.

Pac was definitely ranked #2 p4p

He was #3 according to The Ring, and I thought that wasn't even clear to some others. But I did think Pac was and is still #2 in the division under Mayweather.
