    90% of Mayweathers opponents are shorter and if they are taller have shorter reach than him, and he outpointed most of them.
    We have weight divisions..not height and reach divisions man

      People get offended when they are shown the reality about Mike.. The guy had talent but no dedication..

        Tyson had to fight guys who were 15-20lbs heavier than he was throughout his whole career
        Thats like Mayweather fighting SMWs when he was a WW

        So its unfair to compare both fighters resumes, completely different dynamic when youre a heavyweight.

          Floyd also fought much bigger guys..Castillo,Ortiz,Canelo,Oscar,Baldo all outweighed him by a lot

            Tyson is the most overrated mother ****er ever, he couldn't even dominate a weak division, he got beat by Buster Douglas ffs

              You cut split Mayweather's resume in half and it would still be better than Tyson's.

              Pacquiao
              Mosley
              Cotto
              Corrales

              De La Hoya
              Hernandez
              Castillo
              Marquez

              Mayweather has an exceptional resume. At every stage of his career, he's been at the front of boxing. Tyson's resume is nothing special once you remove the hype. Better of comparing Mayweather to Holyfield or Lewis.

                    Well with the exception of the Spinks fight, which should be included. Yup. He lost his biggest fights against certified HOFers.

                      Spinks was a blown up Light-Heavyweight wasn't he?

                      I know he had fought at HW and won titles before the Tyson fight but Floyd and other guys get those kind of wins totally discredited by some people.
