Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s resume is outstanding.

[GhostofDempsey]

was it his fault?? or did Manny walk away over drug testing and M osley and Oscar both said he was high risk and low reward..he was chasing them for years and when was the Tszyu fight even possible??

Floyd admits he was the one who marinated the fight for 5 years in order for interest to grow and make it bigger. At least that's his excuse for ducking Manny for five years. So how is that Manny's fault when I can cite at least 10...yes ten excuses Floyd used to move the goal line and avoid that fight while Pac was still prime.

Barrera x2
Morales x2
Jmm. x3 if not scorecard error.
Bradley. X3 if not robbery
This alone is just about equal to a fifth of Floyd's career.

He beat common opponents more convincingly. More titles in divisions. Started lighter weight.
Yep PACs greater.

A referee error didn't deduct a point from Pac which would have been on all 3 scorecards rendering the 1 point error by the 1 judge useless and given Marquez a win.

Fights II & III were robberies (III was just as bad as Pac-Bradley).

However I do agree he has a better resume than Floyd of course.

[SkillspayBills]

Most world champions beaten in boxing history, 10 fighters on the P4P list when he beat them, 5 weight world champions and a couple of ATGs on his resume. Top 10 All time great fighter point blank period.

[chrisJS]

who is your favorite fighter?? do you think he gives a damn about you??

Marquez.

No he doesn't. I also don't create 100s of threads on him, cry when someone says something negative about him or worship him or trash tons of fighters because of him.

I have however met him a few times and attended 11 of his fights live.

[WesternChamp]

and somehow they downplay this but then you ask them who their favorite fighter is and silence!!!! they have to try to dig up fighters from 20-30 years ago

i knew this nuggah would be in here. just as i thought, nothing about "stop talking about floyd he's retired"..

Let's be honest.

Conor McGregor aside.

Looking down Floyd's list of victims throughout the years, it is outstanding. Yes there are a couple of names I'd have liked to have seen added to the list back in the day, but that's life. They are more so "what if?" fantasy moments than anything important.

The record is impeccable. We have to give massive respect to Floyd.

Floyd is way underrated.And a lot of that has to do with many writers(if u wanna call them that)like Dougie Fisher and others that HATE him.Floyd took that Money May bs too far and really turned off a lot of people.And so because they hate him they let their hate BLIND them.But writers are supposed to be above that.I think as time goes bye he will get his respect as best fighter of generation and one of the best of all time.At least I hope

Floyd has also never been a unified champ. He's been a part unified champ but never a unified champ. He's never even been a majority unified champ.

Unified=to unify titles..UNDISPUTED means to have all of them..LEARN THE TERMINOLOGY

[john l]

One more thing I love how these writers LOVE to match him with best 147pders of all time.Instead of matching him with people of his size.Floyd a nat 130 or as he got older 140 at best.Thats why he ALMOST ALWAYS WEIGHS LESS then 140pders and even some 135pders.To show example castilo weighed 152 on fite night in 1st fight with Floyd that's about the same as Floyd weighed on fight nite when he fought at 154.Gatti weighted like 159 with Joey Gamach when he was fightin at 140.Now that's more then Floyd ever weighed in any fight.Floyd should be compared with lightweights NOT welterweights when people do this Mythical Matchups.

[Larry the boss]

Again, excuses excuses but the bottom line is - he never fought a great fighter despite being the sports shot caller.

It's not a knock on him it's just a fact based observation. Pacquaio however found out a way to get it done with three opponents.

So Corrales who was top 5 p4p was not a great win?

Canelo who was top 10 p4p was not a great win?

Mosley who was p4p #3 was not a great win??

Hatton who was p4p top 10 was not a great win??

Manny who was p4p #2 was not a great win??

Jmm who was p4p #3 was not a great win??

Moving up and beating Castillo who was lineal at 135 was not a great win??

wtf is a great win then?

did Manny not walk away from the table over drug testing?
