    When you are the same level of prime and older it dont mean a flying fck.

    Its the classroom of this era and the top guys graduated all the way through, not in prime lol must sound good to you like a soother.

      Why are Manny fanboys so brain dead ?
      So none of these guys were in their prime so what is the point? You act like this mediocrity is something special.

      Sugar Ray in his 20's beat at least 2 prime all time great fighters @ 147, a 154 beltholder, plus a jump up to mw and outpointed the mw king by the time he was 30 and Hagler was undisputed mw prob. 32?, and he took a vacation in between that as well, and you want to rant and rave about an over the hill Floyd, beating some over the hill paper champs?

      Talk about low standards.

        Only in the Floyd Boy era does half-assedness get recognized

          Im saying in the ATG and elite ranks prime is a career , the top guys when on top in the later years which they all were is a twilight of prime , prime is not a few destroy fights its about being in the top 10% of your best form.

          There is mental prime and there is physical prime, you understand neither.

          Go box some and get a little real knowledge.

            Put paper in front of champ instead of world will ya.
            Cotto, Shane, and Manny were raked thru the coals. If they were prime that would have been special, but it's just a statistic with no substance.
            They all didn't want to fight prime Floyd. Shane had a tooth that needed looked at lol. Cotto was at the Bruseles fight and didn't want none. Cotto himself said he never sought the fight. Floyd fought him at 154lbs. to give him no excuses. Floyd is older than all but Mosley. Mosley was the 2nd coming after Margarito and calling Fliyd out... then the same clowns called Shane old. That same Shane after Margarito was too much for Pacquiao according to Freddie Roach at the time. Pacquiao ducked full random Olympic style drug testing and Arum came up with all sorts of ducks. Bob ever build that stadium? Bob wanted 50/50 but wouldn't open and compare books for a fair split, knowing Floyd was the higher draw. Freddie admitted their side held up the fight. It would've always been a win for the older Floyd Mayweather, who fought more champions than these guys that ducked him in their primes.

              Maidana-WBA 147 CHAMP

              Pacquaio-WBO 147 CHAMP P4P#2

              Thats 6 world champions and 3 p4p top 10 boxers in 5 years

              Now all i ask for is facts, no need for name calling or excuses..can you please list the champs others have defeated this decade..Ill do Canelo next

              Canelo wins over current champs

              Austin Trout-WBA 154 champ

              Miguel Cotto -lineal 160 champ

              Liam Smith-WBO-154 champ

              Golovkin-WBC,WBA,IBF 160 CHAMP-P4P TOP 5

              Kovalev-WBO 175 CHAMP

              Fielding-WBA regular champ

              So that is 6 for Canelo as well (interesting)

              Now lets look at Manny

              Jessie Vargas-WBO WW champ

              Keith Thurman-WBA ww champ

              thats 2 for Manny all the others were vacant title wins

              Can anyone add any other boxers?

              Timothy Bradley was WBO 147 champ.

              Lucas Matthysse was WBA Regular champ

              Chris Algieri was WBO 140 champ

              Marquez was the WBO and WBA 135 champ

                you Looked over the fact Floyd wasn’t in his prime for any of these fights either
                c

                I see you would not go as far as to say prime Canelo or Cotto, because you know you would not be telling the truth.
                I would not consider beating a prime Ortiz or Maidana anything to write home about, and if Floyd is not prime, and the best guys isn't prime, what is so special about any of it.

                  Yeah as others have mentioned you missed quite a few for Pacquiao.

                    In other words, compared to a real top tier all time great, Floyd comes up way short, despite your best effort to put spin on it.

                      Both TBE (not The Best Ever) and GrandPac have 6, so what? For TBE (not The Best Ever), no prime boxers... For GrandPac, only 3 prime boxers and 1 of those non-primes massacred him...

                      Donaire also has 6: Burnett, Vetyeka, Nishioka, Mathebula, Narvaez and Montiel... All in their prime...
