Is this enough to be called the best pound for pound fighter? Especially when he was consider the best fighter before he fought Ricky Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya.
So much talk that Manny Pacquiao fighting Ricky Hatton is only getting Floyd Mayweathers left overs, but hasn't Mayweather been feeding off others fighters left overs for the most part. Especially since he went up to fight in the 140 weight class and over.
Review some of Floyd Mayweather opponents.
Sharmba Mitchell - was knocked out by Kostya Tszyu then fought a fighter that came from a knockout lost to then face Floyd Mayweather
Zap Judah - came from a lost to then fight Mayweather. The fighter Judah lost to had nine loses. Judah had also faced Kostya Tszyu.
Ricky Hatton - was undefeated, but came from a having a bad showing against Luis Collazo(145lbs) a fight many people saw him lose. Before facing Mayweather, Hatton faced Jose Luis Castillo at 140lbs and Juan Urango. Hatton went up in weight after already having a bad showing near the weight of 147.
Oscar De La Hoya- Before fighting Mayweather De La Hoya had fought a tough fight vs Shane Mosley, Felix Sturm, Bernard Hopkins. Then fought Ricardo Mayorga who had been destroyed by Tito Trinidad. Still Floyd didn't came up in the right weight which would be more of an advantage in speed.
Arturo Gatti - Had been knocked out before. He had three wars vs Micky Ward and was knocked out by a younger Oscar De La Hoya. Atleast 4 years younger than when floyd had faced him.
DeMarcus Corley - just before fighting Floyd Mayweather DeMarcus Corley came froma lost to Zap Judah.
Jose Luis Castillo - One of Mayweather better opponents, but still had been knockout four previously times.
Diego Corales - Perhaps Mayweather first biggest challenge, but floyd didn't stick around to face Joel Casamayor.
Some of these fighters came from loses, wars and some had been knockout.

Biggest deal of all this is that Floyd Mayweather was consider the best pound for pound boxer before facing Oscar De la Hoya and Ricky Hatton. Please.
Floyd Mayweather is still a good boxer, but not nearly close to what people make of him. Most that are just family members and die hard fans. You can have all the skill in the world and still get knockout by a stronger fighter. If you dont have enough to beat the best you should just stick to track and field.
