    What fight was Mayweather's peak?

    Everyone says that Pac peaked in 2009 when he beat Cotto, what version of Mayweather do you believe is the best version of him? We know the 38 year old version who fought Pac was out of his prime. I believe Mayweather was his best during the Hatton fight. That version of Mayweather will not lose to any welterweight in history outside of SRL.

    Wasn’t Hatton going up in weight?

    Can’t remember for sure

        Not too sure. maybe Hatton. Maybe Canelo. Defensive fighters have an older peak because they rely less on athleticism, and with more advanced age they gain a greater edge on younger opponents as they gain greater mastery of defence.

              Marquez was rocking a fat dad bod!

              Wasn’t he going up 2 weight divisions and was doing it by eating lard and drinking urine?

                Ricky Hatton started boxing at around 40 lbs. So if you think about it Floyd Mayweather MADE him gain over 100 lbs to fight...

                  Between 2007 to 2010 Hatton, Marquez and Mosley. Skill was on point just as well hand and foot speed. As well as reflexes were the best we seen he did get stunned by Mosley, but recovered so quickly and dominated from start to finish after.

                    I think Floyd in the Corrales fight was the best version. Showed pretty good power that night too.
