List 10 fighters with a better resume than Floyd Mayweather

[LacedUp]

#1 vs #2 fight. Pacquiao beat Bradley.

Lineal & Ring are not the same entity.. Sadly enough

So lineage according to who?

Pacquiao and Bradley were not #1 and #2 so struggling to see how it could be for the lineal title and also who granted it lineage.

If a vacant lineage is created it has to be the universal #1 vs the universal #2 that is not the case here.

CyberBoxing and Transitional boxing recognized it...so **** it..i really have no beef with it as after Floyd left those were the most proven ww's

Shot I don't know, atleast arguably. Looked like absolute **** against Toney.

Hadn't been Champion in almost 2 years by that point. Oscar and Mosley were reigning champions and in Mosley's case he was #1 WW and #3 P4P coming off arguably the best win of his career.

Oscar I guess is comparable but Oscar looked more he had more in the tank against Mayorga than McCallum did against Ali Saidi.

As for the fight, Roy carried him. Was in first gear the whole time maybe switched off once or twice.

I agree with you though that I'd probably lean on Roy in regards to the comparison with Floyd.

Yeah that's true. But the same with Mosley, after Margarito we never saw Mosley again maybe aside from the first two rounds against Floyd.

True he actually did look good in that fight, and also in the Floyd fight. It was quite close.

I think Floyd has more "name" wins than Roy, but in terms of actual substance I feel Roy slightly edges him and his accomplishments were better with going from MW to HW and actually if I'm not mistaken, I do think Roy started at 154.

I agree after Floyd left the division was and is still a mess but Manny and Bradley were the 2 most proven at the time..but IMO the lineage is vacant but i am just a guy on the internet

But for all that weight jumping Roy was never lineal at any weight

Don't see how those two could be considered genuine #1 and #2. None were title holders and both coming off losses.

No reason that it should be considered lineage whatsoever.

Two actual top contenders should emerge before lineage is one the line.

Through formality only. He was considered the LHW champion for years.

Pretty much same as when Mike Tyson was undisputed HW champ but Spinks was lineal champ. Or when Briggs was lineal champ.

Doesn't always mean a great deal.

Exactly my thoughts.

Very weird.
