Is Mayweather's 2007-2015 run of consecutive opponents the best ever?!?!?

[dibzvincent143]

starting a post like that is all we need to know

it is common knowledge that he did

you will need at least common knowledge to add something meaningful to this conversation

Why he retired at their peak then?? I like Floyd but his best win forever will be against Corrales. Can you argue with that?

Pacman’s best win is also Barrera.

So I’m bias again right?

I don’t hate Floyd at all just speaking my opinion. I’d actually root for him against anyone including atgs in dream fights. Except against prime pacman, not that he won’t beat pac but I just wanna support pac.

Did the fight happen during their primes? Nope.

So let’s go back to what ifs again.

And floyd’s best win is against corrales period.

And his resume was already great before all the fights you listed!

Corrales is one of his best wins

maybe Hoya, or Pac

dunno, never thought about it..... there are sooooo many

I don't know if it's the best ever, but it's certainly one of the best. Mayweather's resume is underrated.

How can past prime dudes be his best win? Now idk who’s bias lol

[b00g13man]

Still waiting for one of the posters crying to point out one better.

1) Hoya was a legit HOF fighter
2) Mayweather jumped a division to fight him
3) Mayweather was the B-side, with no advantages
4) Hoya weighed 154..... not 145 lol

like I said, no idea who is Mayweather's best scalp..... haven't thought about it..... and there are just sooooo many to choose from

There is no best win that's just a varying opinion, his resume over all is outstanding, for me his memorable wins were Oscar Cotto and Canelo simply because they were at 154 and Floyd is nowhere near that size fighter what would happen if Floyd outweighed those guys by 20lbs he would stop them, Canelo today is one of the worlds best MWs and fighting a superfight soon.

Floyd wasn't prime at WW he was divisions outside of his best weight and a different fighter that at 130-5.

You guys are arguing only segments of the whole thing, its the entire body of work that stamps a fighters greatness and his body of work was beating everyone that was anyone across 20 yrs.

This really made people mad yet they can barely name anyone with a better run

It’s a really really good resume. And like I said he engineered it beautifully and I’m big fan of his craft. But the truth and narratives behind what’s on paper rarely goes hand in hand. Out of the 3 wins you mentioned I give him the most credit for beating Canelo, only thing to say about it is the catchweight. Regardless I’m sure he’d beat Canelo at any weight, but why make it an issue in the first place when he had fought at full 154 before? The fault goes to him.

Oscar was already past his best when they fought, he had 1 fight in 3 yrs, and he came from a year long layoff.
Are those factors not big enough for you? It’d be a big factor regardless who’s resume we will be dissecting.
Still full credit for going to 154, but that won’t qualify as his best win.

Cotto was already pummelled by pac and marg. and jr middleweight wasn’t really his best weight.

Now stop acting like Floyd is a small guy when he fought this dudes, it is only natural for an athlete’s body to grow as they age, and he has grown into a full welter. Or else he would have made the 144 catchweight with Marquez.

Floyd’s best win remains to be against a prime corrales. But like I said it’s a very great resume.
He has a case on claiming the goat status, but the critics will also have clear ones as well.
