List 10 fighters with a better resume than Floyd Mayweather

[LacedUp]

I dont think neither man has a better resume than Floyd. Holyfield is definitely more debatable but Roy? No.

Roy beat multiple HOFamers/ATGs in their prime, going from MW to HW and beating multiple champions and #1 contenders all the way through.

Nobody had done that for a 100 years, and whilst it might be the same number of weight classes, it's a lot different going up from MW to HW than from SFW to LMW. Plenty of fighters have done that.

VERY debatable, leaning towards RJJ all things considered. His best wins are better, and he fought guys when he was supposed to.

Holyfield isn't really debatable. That man in my mind has probably the best resume of anyone in the last 25-30 years.

[LacedUp]

I'm pretty sure most experts accept floyd as being the greatest fighter of this closing era. At least thats what recent votes on the subject say. It is debatable between the two though. Although Floyd's win over Manny pretty much seals the deal for most.

I think most experts agree that Floyd was better.

As for who has the better resume, can you lead me to a credible source who says Floyd definitely has a better resume than Pacquiao?

It's definitely up in the air, I'm probably leaning towards Pacquiao.

mayweather had a better resume before he beat Pac

losses count, he never beat JMM clearly once out of 4 tries


no ko losses to no names, no ko loss to ancient Marquez either
Mayweather is the best of the era, had the better resume and will be remembered as the greater fighter

its time you finally come to terms with this bro.....Manny is a great fighter, he was just never the fighter the media pushed, the man to beat mayweather, knock him cold, or the best of the era.

You can always rely on Floyd fanboys to use Floyds convincing win over Jmm as meaning Floyds resume is better than Pacs. Blatant using the heart to think rather than head.
Floyds win over JMm is just one win. Pac has 3 wins over JMM. So no matter how convincing Floyds win is over JMM it doesn't match Pacs 3 close to the wire wins over JMM. 3 close wins over JMM is better than Floyds shutout, clear as day win over JMM.

How well Floyd did against JMM isn't going to help Floyd one iota against Pacs resume.
Pacs resume was always considered better than Floyds before Floyds win over Nelo and Pac. Even the the Floyd diehards reluctantly acknowledged that while reminding the world that Floyd looked more convincing than Pac beating JMM. *smh*

doesn't he only have two wins? The last win was very debatable,

[hugh grant]

doesn't he only have two wins? The last win was very debatable,

Ive lost count of how many decisions Pac got over Jmm. My point is that Pacs resume is better as he has got 2 or 3 wins over JMM and Floyd only has one.

Even if JMM only landed one punch on Floyd. Pacs resume is still better.

so mayweather defending his titles more and beating more champions dont count toward his resume?

Manny has like 10 title fight wins, mayweather has over 20

[!! Shawn]

Lightweights - Chavez, Whitaker, Arguello

Jr Welterweights - Pryor, Chavez

Welterweights - Curry, Honeyghan, Simon Brown

Can only think of 8.

What is the point of this task?

You listed 1 guys twice giving you 7. But the point is, most people could list maybe 2, same thing is gonna happen with all the #1's that Floyd fought.

Name these three prime atg please...... Morales wasn't prime, neither was Barrera and Marquez beat him including a ko.

LOL, Barrera was 29 years old coming off the best wins against Tapia, Ayala, Kelvin Kelly, and Morales, and got his ass whooped by Pacquiao in 03, then in 04 beat MORALES again in a war, and went on two have six fight wins streak in the featherweight division to as much as fighting JMM in a life or death match and was on the pound for pound rankings till 07 so that tells you something.

JMM is a late Bloomer who is prime in his early to mid thirties. Which Pacquiao got robbed in the first match because of an incompetent judge who didn't score the third knock down, and won against him in the second when he was a CHAMPION in his PRIME against Pacman, I scored the fight round by round and had JMM outlanding Pacquiao by 10 in powershots but got Pacquiao having to out land him in jabs in just the same. I scored it and watched it ten times and still I got the 114-113 scorecard in favor for Pacquiao, don't tell me that is a robbery because that **** was close. The third fight was arguable, I scored it 114-114 draw.

Erik Morales who had beaten Pacquiao because he headbutt him like a freaking tank, and forced him to wear pillows in the fight. Beat a one eyed Pacquiao in a close and competitive fight of 115-113 despite Pacquiao only having a one eye going in to the sixth round. And then was unmotivated in the Raheem fight, didn't even show faints or anything, and wasn't even showing up in the training camps. And then in the second fight he was OUTBOXING Manny Pacquiao for the first six rounds till Pacquiao's BODY SHOTS finally took toll on him because he was now allowed to wear his punchers Reyes gloves, and got TKO'ed in the 10'th, it was his first stoppage loss. And then the third fight, he was now post prime but still good, only thirty years old, still got beat, but went on to Win belts in 2 more weight classes, and fighting MARCOS MAIDANA in a War and against Danny Garcia and got robbed in the DAVID DIAZ fight. Yeah man but still for you

"morales was shot doe he had already 50 fights!"

If that is the case then why was Manny still considered IN HIS PRIME despite fighting 55 times going in to the hatton fight? He had already 2 warss against Morales, 2 wars against Marquez and 1 war against Barrera, and was already 30 years old then. Pacquiao has more wars than Erik Morales, and Barrera, and Marquez but still was considered a Prime fighter.

And then Timothy BRADLEY though not an ATG but a Clear HOF, who put on a schooling show against fighters such as Lamont Peterson, Nate Campbell, Devon Alexander, and Marquez, got beat when he was 29 years old in 2014 and he got a gift in 2012.

But still for you

"Mayweather is TBE doe. Better resume doe."

You listed 1 guys twice giving you 7. But the point is, most people could list maybe 2, same thing is gonna happen with all the #1's that Floyd fought.

So? He was still #1 at both those weight classes during that time.

It's irrelevant if they can list them or not it's the fact that he beat the guy ranked #1 in the division 10 times. That's an impressive stat and even more so on paper which is what will be looked at.

That's on top of the fact he's a 13 time world champion in 5 different weight classes and beat 7 P4P ranked fighters

[LacedUp]

so mayweather defending his titles more and beating more champions dont count toward his resume?

Manny has like 10 title fight wins, mayweather has over 20

Pacquiao also has like 20 title fight wins and has another one coming up.
