Berto, Pacquaio, Maidana(2X), Canelo, Gurrero, Cotto, Ortiz, Mosley, Marquez, Hatton, De La Hoya, Baldomir, Gatti, Judah, N'Dou, Castillo (2X), Corrales, Manfredy, and Hernandez
Pacquiao 6 years later and an injured version of him
Maidana the same guy who both Khan and Devon Alexander beat more comfortably
Canelo weight drained
Guerrero crap
Cotto after get KTFO twice by Marg and Pac
Ortiz trash opponent
Mosley old
Marquez old and way past his normal weight limit
Hatton one dimensional
De LaHoya only after he got knocked out and beat up by Sturm and when he was older and forced to drain to 154lbs
Baldmomir crap
Gatti legend but still crap
Man that record really is trash.

Opponents who have better wins than Mayweather
Joe Calzaghe -
His wins over a still game at the time Bernard Hopkins and Mikkel Kessler are much better
Sugar Ray Leonard -
His wins over Duran, Hagler, Hearns... I'm sorry but there was no cherry picking in that situation the only fight he missed that he should have fought was Pryor but Mayweather has missed way more fights than that and I'd rather Leonard fought someone at the right time instead of 6-8 years down the line when it was irrelevant.
Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao was essentially in EVERY right like the rematch between Roy Jones Jr and Bernard Hopkins it shouldn't have happened the time for the rematch had long gone just like the time for the Floyd and Pac fight had long gone.
Oh not to forget I have to factor in the horrible fact that Floyd was cherry picking stipulations like gloves for opponents so he wouldn't get as hurt badly how can this guy be rated in the top 30 that's just preposterous.

it's hard to compete with a guy who fought 100 times, or beat prime all time greats, isn't it?
mayweather has a strange resume. yes, he is undefeated [consensus loss to castillo, but the fight was too close to call it a robbery,] but if you look at the resume of the greats, [who all lost BTW,] they have either more fights, and / or much, much better fighters. ali has foreman, frazier 2x, norton 2x, for instance.
he's also been accused of "ducking" and there's a lot of water to that. no, i don't blame him exclusively, but if you look at his rhetoric it's obvious that he doesn't fight to prove himself, but to make money, and it affected his matchmaking and subsequently his legacy. just look at how later generations of fighters are starting to price themselves out of fights. floyd wouldn't fight leonard, hearns, robisnon, and you know it. the dude wouldn't fight antonio margarito. the f#ck makes you think he'd fight tommy hearns?

There are countless people with better resumes. Resume is not floods selling point. It's his skill level.
There are fighters in past with 100 wins. They will have many tougher and better fighters on their resume than floods has on his, even if they weren't champs. How many champs floods fought is irrelevant as in this day and age of countless belts in each division and flood never fought strong champs ie berto, Guerrero, Ortiz , or picked weakest champ or past prime.
Floods resume isn't his selling point. His perciev d skill isLast edited by hugh grant; 10-11-2016, 07:11 AM.

Originally posted by sunny31 View PostIt's very close between Pacquiao and Mayweather. I think their runs from 2009 are comparable and pretty tit for tat. But what they did before that? I have Pacquiao ahead - Floyd didn't have the same competition available to him. The 3 Mexican greats, all HOF'ers, beat all of them basically in their prime, with maybe Morales just stepping out of his prime. Those wins Floyd can't compete with, especially the first Barrera win.
