Name 1 Prime A-level fighter that Mayweather has on his resume......

[hugh grant]

Floyd might have fought some fighters in their prime. Whether they are A level or even B level we can discuss until cows come home

[The Big Dunn]

A lot of these guys are bandwagon jumpers, they dont really know shit about boxing. Trying to teach this people takes a lot of time and patience.

You have to be slow like "You remember when Mosley had a toothache?" or "You remember when Arum said he had to fold his cards in regards to Mayweather signing a new contract to fight De la Hoya and Margarito?"

I just let it slide if i was you, i let them write their ignorant post, read and just laugh at their lack of knowledge/history of the sport they claim they love.

Yeah, maybe I should.

Floyd is older than most of these "past prime" fighters he beat..

Longevity and fighting style helps that. Floyd was older but the fighters he fought were more passed his prime than he is because of their past fights.

[Thraxox]

So all the guys that refused to fight him in their prime are A level but the guys that were undefeated be did fight him were b level.

That's gerrymandering of the highest level dude.

Okay, who do you think Floyd fought that is Prime A-level fighter? You say the guys that I consider B-level is A-level to you I would try to debunk your claim.

Definition of A-level: A fighter with world class elite level skills that is above strong contenders( B-level fighters) in terms of skill, resume and achievement.

Definition of Prime: A person that is at the height of his physical capabilities.

The likes of Moseley, Pacquiao, Cotto, they were above B-level fighters and their resume and accomplishment reflected that, the only one problem is that they were passed their Primes.

Corrales was prime, but he was B-level, he got repeatedly knocked out by the likes of Casamayor, and did not do much in his career other than just defending straps and pick up straps, nothing really significant exept for the great fights he gave against Castillo.

It was the same for Hatton, and that was at welterweight and he wasn't A-level himself because he didn't have a good resume, and didn't do much for his KO loss and especially he was already beaten by Collazo but got a gift.

For Sergey Kovalev is mostly likely will not be a HoF but he was head and shoulders above everyone he meet, he beat good fighters to get on top and he beat them in a dominating fashion, till he met Andre Ward, Ward is already an established A-level fighter and Kovalev showed that they were at the same level, both contraversial fights but Dre got Kov's name in his resume so Dre has a prime A-level fighter in his resume. It is just not the same for Corrales whom he did not show that he was beyond Castillo and Casamayor, or Clottey.

So HOF'ers basically.

But then you list Kovalev, what makes him A level? P4P standing? Title defenses?

Because if Kovalev is an A Level fighter then surely Canelo is an A level fighter? Or isn't he?

For me, Castillo is the best Lightweight of his era so I'd definitely consider that an A level fighter.

See now your statement about Corrales makes me question you. Repetedly knocked out by Casamayor? I'm going to assume you have never seen that fight? You should watch it.

You seem to be bunching Hatton and Corrales in the same catergory as Ortiz and Guererro. I don't agree with that at all. Hatton and Corrales are a level above. A level fighters in my opinion.

But that's all it is, opinions.

[Johnny2x2x]

Some people are funny. Now Pacquaio, Marquez and Mosely were B Level fighters when Mayweather fought them. All 3 were top 3 P4P fighters when Floyd fought them. If #3 P4P is B Level then there can only be 2 A level fighter at a time in boxing.

And Corrales was 33-0 with 31 KOs when Mayweather fought him, he was a monster. HAtton, 43-0 with 32 KOs and having just beat HOFer Kostya Tszyu. Canelo, 42-0-1 with 30 KOs.

This thread failed.

[dan_cov]

Corrales and Canelo, there is two.

[dan_cov]

I get Canelo was young but some fighters peak earlier than others. He had 43 fights, a world title and half a dozen or more defenses and had just beaten Trout. Not my idea of a 'green prospect'.
He probably wasn't at his peak but he was clearly in the start of his prime.

Stylistically it always favoured Floyd and he was so good that night he made Canelo look like a novice. Its not that he was he just made him look like one.

I'd also add Cotto to the list, A+ no but he's at least an A- level fighter, he's still going strong now.

I miss worded and did not meant repeatedly KO'ed by Casamayor, I meant KO'ed by Castillo and Casamayor, wrong wording on my part. Kovalev is A-level because he was clearly superior than everyone he fought not named Andre Ward, and he did it in a dominating fashion and unified 3 belts along the way, Kov's resume isn't great but it isn't a slouch.

Hatton and Corrales are B-level since they were never above their opponents, and their record proved that. Corrales was not better than Casamayor, Castillo and Clottey. Hatton was not better than Collazo and many would not put Collazo in the A-level category and didn't have the resume for it to back it up.

We can agree to disagree because regardless of arguments our opinions would not move. Good day to you Dan.

But then I can easily say by that logic how much better was Kovalev than Boone and Chilemba? It's easy to do that. A level fighters still lose fights or struggle in fights.

And also, Casamayor didn't knock out Corrales. Infact, it was Corrales who rocked him at the end of the 6th!!
