    Mayweather's resume post 30;

    Oscar De La Hoya
    Ricky Hatton
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Shane Mosley
    Victor Ortiz
    Miguel Cotto
    Robert Guererro
    Canelo Alvarez
    Marcos Maidana x2
    Manny Pacquaio

    Pretty obvious to me which one is better.
    I thought Jones is one of the greatest of all time? At least that's what some of the posters on here say.

      I already posted my very well thought out post. I just want to add to it because after reading so many biased posts and looking at how close the voting is; tells me how DISHONEST you all are. Floyd can be hit. It's his lack of A Level, prime competition that gives you noobs the impression he was a better defensive fighter. Floyd cannot dodge a good jab to save his life. He gets hit to the body by everyone he faces. In his toughest fights, he looks average. Corley, Castillo, Cotto, De La Hoya, Maidana, and Pacquiao. Maidana EMBARASSED him! In the rematch, he used the same tactics and dirty stuff he did against Manny. He was in there to collect his huge check and survive. He is not in the same league as Pea because Pea fought the very best! You could not hit him consistently with any punch. FACT. So, why is this even a thread again? Because you immature Floyd fans don't like the truth? You wanna act like he wasn't scared of Manny? Like he didn't lose a clear decision to Castillo? That his resume is full of B Level guys? Answer this morons. Do you think SRL would miss Floyd's chin all night? Hearns? Chavez Sr? Duran? Terry Norris? A Prime De La Hoya? Trinidad? The answer is simple. NO THEY WOULD NOT! Floyd knows what it is. He fights guys who are either old or not skilled enough or smart enough to hit him. And even then, he still gets busted up but he's a better defender than Pea? Do us all a favor and either leave the site, or stop watching boxing!!!!!!!!!
      What do you mean 'he can't dodge a good jab to save his life'? One of the things he is most famous for is the pull counter.

        Who Roy Jones?

        He is, well, he's an ATG atleast, IMO.

        I don't understand your point.

          If that's the case then it doesn't look pretty obvious.

            How doesn't it?

            And what does Roy Jones have to do with anything?

              He can't possibly be trying to say that version of Roy is a good win can he? Nobody can be that dense, surely.

                Huge Jones fan and would have to agree 100%. That Jones was a faded great who should have hung them up after the win against Tarver, when he was showing obvious were and tear.

                  He was in even worse shape than the Calzaghe fight at that point, and I thought that was bad enough.

                      A lot of people in here probably aren't old enough to have watched Pernell, but he was on another level dfensively!!!
