If you include fights all the way from Zab as well, then yes. It it up there, for sure. Even more impressive when you realise he was 30+ for most of these.


    it's a phenomenal run, people are wakk

      Tells us alot about the state of US boxing, when you gotta open another boring Floyd thread since the current top american boxers sit at home and get paid by Haymon for fighting not at all or just fight on social media.

        Sugar Ray Leonard.

        1979-1989

        Fought the and defeated 3 of the greatest fighters ever and had the balls to rematch them.

        Besides Manny no one Floyd fought was at the level of the great 4 of the 80s

        That was not floyds fault and he can't be blamed his era only had one genuine legend in it.

        Cotto, dlh and Shane all very very good but always 1 step below the all time elite

          If you cant see how mayweather cherry picked 95% of his fights post arturo gatti (and even gatti was at the end of his career, but wbc super lw champion) then i donno where you were at

            It's impressive, but it will look better as it ages and more fighters show how hard it is to fight at the top level in your 30s. It's very hard.

            Btw, you did not put this detail, DLH was #3 ranked at 154 by The Ring.

              Damn he must be the worst cherry picker ever.

              He cherrypicked nothing but other champions, ranked p4p fighters, hall of famers and top 3 fighters in his division. He did it all consecutively too.

                Gatti was #1 ranked at 140 and the WBC champ.

                Tszyu didn't want to fight Mayweather after he (Floyd) called him out in the Henry Bruseles post fight interview, instead he fought Hatton and lost and Mayweather fought Gatti and won.

                Can't fault Mayweather for calling out Tszyu in 2004 and being ducked, and Mosley and DLH in 2005 and neither of them wanted him.

                  Baldomir: 147 WBC and Lineal champion. #2 Welterweight -

                  lol Baldomir

                  Oscar de la hoya: 154 WBC champion. Hall of famer -

                  way past it and still made it close

                  Ricky Hatton: #8 P4P. WBA Welterweight champion. IBF and the ring light welterweight champion. -

                  made ricky go up to welterweight were he wasn't tested yet.

                  Marquez: #2 P4P (Lightweight doe). hall of famer

                  Made a light weight climb up 2 weight levels and the best part is Floyd didn't even make weight to gain more advantage from a midget.

                  Mosley: #3 P4P and 147 WBA champion. Hall of famer

                  Way past it.

                  Ortiz: 147 WBC champion # 2 welterweight boxer

                  Ortiz who?

                  Cotto: 154 WBA light middleweight champion. #2 Super welterweight boxer. Hall of famer

                  Cotto was damaged goods from the Margarito and Pacquiao beating

                  Guerrero: #9 P4P and #3 Welterweight boxer. WBC interim champion

                  Guerrero.. okay..

                  Canelo: #9 P4P. 154 WBC and the Ring champion. #1 super welterweight boxer.

                  Took a young Canelo at a premature age when he was still learning the ropes. Not a good look.

                  Maidana (Twice): 147 WBA champion. Just came off a huge win over #9 P4P little bro

                  Most saw Maidana give him a beating

                  Pacquiao: #2 P4P, 147 WBO champion, #2 welterweight boxer. Hall of famer

                  Most saw Manny win all over the world

                  Berto: lol


                  Berto lololololololol


                  So yeah.. Not really. More like a fluke run. Reality Bites.




                  Rick Hatton's first fight @ 147 is with Floyd. Stop Falsifying truths bruh.

                  Ricky Hatton will come out of retirement with a fight against ex-WBA champion Vyacheslav Senchenko in Manchester on 24 November.


                  first coming at welterweight against Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2007.


                  Floyd gave Maidana the hugfest of his life, while Maidana gave Floyd the beating of his life.


                  Hugfest = DQ



                  Still Maidana found a way.. sadly corrupt Judges didn't see it that way..




                  Pacquiao = how the world saw Pac winning..

                  Even in Spain, they saw Pac winning. (@ 14:00 mark, BOXING EXPERTS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO ALL FOR PAC)

                  https://********/l1Kij5gLwZY




                  England

                  @ 0:56 - The press in England have ran that fight in Slow motion and they found that the compubox figures to be totally wrong.

                  @ 2:40 - get that fight and look at it again, I think they were influenced by the commentary and by the punch stats, but if you watch that fight as the international people did without either of that commentary and those punch stat, people around the world. A lot of them thought Manny won.



                  Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, Argentina



                  Romania, Japan, Russia, Australia and

                  People around the world saw a Robbery.





                  Canelo was 23 years old when he faced Floyd. That dude is not ready for a top dog like Floyd at that day. Even if you try to hype Canelo up. He was still green back in the day.


                  Cotto damaged goods:




                  AFTER ALL THIS TRUTHS MCDONALD'S BLOCKED ME HAHAHA!! BIATCHED OUT!! CASE CLOSED!!
                  Honestly, this twat needs a perma ban. It's getting ridiculous now.

                    Doesn't mean Floyd cant win over them guys, there were guys that beat them that Floyd would school so your time machine is nothing but opinion and throwing names around you cant be jumping eras as it doesn't work, the OVER ALL accomplishments spanning the entire career from first fight to last fight Floyd did more for the sport of boxing and had more influence over the sport than probably any fighter in history, he changed the sport.

                    If Leonard Hagler Duran Hearns were in this era they may have been beaten by quite a few of the elite, you just cant tell what would happen as they had sht nights and they all lost so you never know, people think the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence that often works out to be total BS in reality, especially so when its formed from people reading colorful romantics written by historians that glorify so much to create larger than life characters.

                      It was amazing indeed. All those trying to tear it down cannot point to a better one, so that tells you all you need to know.
