      Is Mayweather the only fighter in history where people cite ATG's in his 4th and 5th weight class that would beat him?

        Mancini has some good points, but the part about being obligated to the fans. Man, Floyd thought outside that box. He got the fans to hate him.

        Floyd isn't top 30 top 40. Definitely top 10.

          "Ray Leonard was a closer". Yet, Floyd has more KOs than him.

            Mayweather KO% : 54
            Leonard: KO% : 63

            You're welcome. Floyd fought ten more times than Ray.

            Leonard also fought MASSIVELY superior competition. Brah.

                Yeah, SRL resume is just insane when you look at it. It's the perfect example of quality over quantity. The dude had like 30 fights by the time he first retired at 25 and had already left a mark.

                  It is odd that Floyd, whose first belt came at 130, is supposed to fight ATGs at 147 or even 154 instead of 130, 135, or 140.

                  This says more about Mancini and how simple he is/was than anything else. And I'm not sure Hearns even beats Floyd let alone stretches him. Floyd never lost to a rangy fighter and Hearns lost to boxers on more than one occasion.

                    Duran beats him at 130 and 135 then.
