Compare this to today's fighters.
Mayweather and Corrales put their 0s on the line in their prime. Thurman and Porter can't even get a fight date.
In 18 fights, Mayweather best Hernandez to become lineal champion at 130. In 18 fights, Errol Spence fought Chris Van Heerden in a 10 rounder.
Mayweather moved up to 135 and fought the top dog Jose Luis Castillo. Terence Crawford moved up and fought Thomas Dulorme.
Coming off a layoff, Mayweather fought p4p #3 Juan Manuel Marquez. Coming off a layoff, Andre Ward fought Paul Smith.
Mayweather fought Pacquiao, Maidana, Guerrero, Mosley and Ortiz. All top 5 welterweights at the time they fought. Keith Thurman has yet to face a top 5 welterweight.
In order to get a fight with Gatti, Mayweather played the B-side and travelled to NJ. In order to get a fight with Oscar, Mayweather moved up to 154, and let Oscar pick his gloves. GGG and Ward refused to budge to make a big fight.
Mayweather moved up to face Canelo, Cotto and Oscar. Rigo and GGG refuse to move up or down.
You want to know why boxing is struggling in the US? Because the new era of fighters don't dare to be great. Floyd is missed ATM and people are too ****** to realize it.Comment
