No one has fought more high level fights in their careers than Floyd

[-Swizzy-]

Almost half of Floyd's fights (24) have been against either the #1 contender, a champion or elite fighter. I can't think of a fighter who has fought more high level talent than Floyd.

Here's the list:

Manny Pacquiao
Marcos Maidana (2x)
Canelo Alvarez
Robert Guerrero
Miguel Cotto
Victor Ortiz
Shane Mosley
Juan Manuel Marquez
Ricky Hatton
Oscar De La Hoya
Carlos Baldomir
Zab Judah
Sharmba Mitchell
Arturo Gatti
Jose Castillo (2x)
Jesus Chavez
Diego Corrales
Gregorio Vargas
Angel Manfredy
Genaro Hernandez


Every single one of those guys were legit when Mayweather fought them.

Who in the history of boxing has faced more high level fighters than Floyd?

[A.K]

No Oscar has except he lost a lot of them

[Scary]

The haters will fade and the whole career will stand out. The more you compare him, the more you realise that he was legit all the way. Even if he avoided one or two fighters along the way - That's pretty standard.

Why did you miss out Genaro Hernandez?

Is this a serious question?

Miguel Cotto

Cotto fought a better version of Pacquiao, Mosley, Canelo also fought Margarito in his prime, fought Austin Trout and dared to be great and went up and challenged Martinez for the MW title. Also fought Judah and Clottey.

sharmba mitchell was what??? angel manfredy was what??? gregorio vargas was what??? judah was what??? etc...bold faced lie to say they were #1 contenders or champs. also there are 4 champs in this era compared to 1 or 2 in the past so not really a fair comparison. would victor ortiz be a champ in any other era...would gatti? would maidana? nope , nope and nope. the other guys he fought like mosley, hoya, pac and cotto were past it. still good but past it. baldomir? come on now. he still has no prime great wins. floyd is the kind of guy that would wait till prime leonard became old and then fought him after leonard fought donny lelonde. hey he was still champ so it must be a good win right? he was a champ!!!

Why did you miss out Genaro Hernandez?

My bad. Corrected.

Cotto fought a better version of Pacquiao, Mosley, Canelo also fought Margarito in his prime, fought Austin Trout and dared to be great and went up and challenged Martinez for the MW title. Also fought Judah and Clottey.

Cotto started at 140lbs and Mayweather at 130lbs. Now with that info go re-read my post and then read your post again.

Your wording was fought, not beat. Mike Tyson fought over 10 current or former World Heavyweight champions. That includes 5 Lineal Heavyweight champions, and a two-weight Lineal champion. And can't forget Danny Williams, who was an exceptional Heavyweight in his prime.
