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

[Joe Beamish]

The list doesn't have much that isn't "coming up from a smaller weight" AND "past prime" in it.

Great names, though. Good resume, but not on par with (say) Leonard's defeats of Benitez, Duran, Hearns, all of whom were genuinely dangerous in the ring.

I'd rate Cotto as Floyd's best win in that stretch. But please. DLH was way past prime and practically inactive. Marquez and Pacquaio are midgets -- and past prime. Hatton is a good win, but again -- a little dude.

Guerrero is OK. But he was P4P because he came up from a smaller weight.

Again, nothing dangerous in that run except maybe Cotto. The others are puny and old.

Give me anyone's resume and i'll tear it apart like this. It's very easy when you have an agenda.

Let's be fair, most of Trinidad's opponents in his WW run were very average. Arguably lost to De La Hoya, who threw the fight away and the best names during the run were against guys that were previously smaller lightweights or Super featherweights, like Camacho.

Look at some (most) of the names Trinidad had in that run. Floyd would be crucified by boxing fans if he fought some of them.

See, easy isn't it? - I actually really rate Trinidad. I'm simply showing how easy it is to tear a resume apart.

Tito should be crucified for the names he avoided in or around weight classes and times he reigned in them....

Do I need to break down Tito resume really, boy would have 10 losses from 147-160 had he fought in this day, he was getting into fire fights with mamadou, his skillset doesn't stand my time eye test

Oscar's '95- '99 run was similar-

John-John Molina
Genaro Hernandez (Younger, fesher version)
Miguel Angel Gonzalez

These guys were champions at lighter weight classes. So yea they are good wins but you criticized robert guerrero for not being proven at 147, so who did these guys beat as lightweights or super lightweight? At least guerrero had fought at 147 before.

Jesse James Leija
Darryl Tyson
David Kamau
Hector Camacho
Wilfredo Rivera
Patrick Charpentier

They weren't champions or ranked P4P when oscar fought them.

John-John Molina
Rafael Ruelas

Jesse James Leija
Darryl Tyson
Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr.
Miguel Angel Gonzalez
Pernell Whitaker
David Kamau
Hector Camacho
Wilfredo Rivera
Patrick Charpentier
Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr. rematch
Ike Quartey

He also won ten of these by stoppage.

It's a good run by Floyd but I don't see that it's that exceptional.

I mean, Judah? Who didn't beat Judah when he stepped up?

Guerrero had no significant wins at 147.

It's good but not the best run ever. If so, then the sport hasn't produced much.

The ghost stopped Manny in sparring, Floyd ducking the ghost and that southpaw style...

Good God. That sig is Satanic or something. Sick shlt...

[dmocchi]

Floyd’s best and most dangerous fight was against Diego Corrales. Thereafter he was always deemed favorite coming in, not because of his level of talent but the state of his opposition.( even in the 2nd Castillo fight).
Floyd will always be remembered as a talented but unchallenged champion...

Floyd had a very good run indeed.
