    Did Mayweather fight the best in his era?

    Floyd is no doubt p4p best right now, but has he fought everyone in his era to make him the greatest? What about guys like Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, P. Williams, Shane Mosely? Why weren't these guys given a shot ? IMO Floyd has no doubt the potential to be one of the all time greats, but he is willing to leave us asking more questions than answers.....


    IMO Floyd is a great fighter but can't say he is the all-time best.

    Took the better opportunities money wise, not necessarily the toughest opposition.

      mosley is past it, who cares

      cotto he should fight

      hatton he should have already fought

      margarito and williams should duke it out first to get a shot at mayw. (i find it weird that anyone can stand up and say pretty boy fight me, and there is a legion of fans ready to scream "mayw. is ducking him!")

        Fighting Zab Judah after losing to Baldomir doesn't give to the cause. I still think he can fight a few more fighters to really increase his resume.

          and dont give me that margarito crap.

          If he fought margarito there would still be people ready to discredit him

              Smh. he would do Paul Williams like he did Corrallas

              Hatton got owned in his last fight, against an avg. fighter (so what do u think mayweather would do to him)

                actually i'd give him more credit for fighting antonio than for fighting zab. he never fought mosley, or tszyu - so that's a big thing in my book. a fight with hatton would be interesting as well.

                i do give him a bit of credit for fighting baldomir though. and a bit more for beating him with relative ease.

                  Corrales
                  Castillo (twice)
                  Chavez
                  Gatti
                  Judah
                  Baldomir

                  Yep i think he had beat the best in his era,id like to see him and Cotto fight next

                  As for fighting Hatton,hes offered him 3 times already,Hatton has turned dem down saying he needs more tune ups or asking for 13 million

                  As for Margarito and Williams,what does he gain if he does fight them? No1 really knows them yet,let Marg and Williams fight eachover,Floyd dont need them

                  So yeh he has fought and beaten the best in his era,the only one id like to see him fight now is Cotto
