Maidana is a natural WW
Canelo is basically a MW
Oscar was a natural JMW
Mosley was a natural WW
Cotto Was at 154
All those guys are either bigger than him or equal to his size. Dont forget floyd moved up multiple divisions. This thread is just another pathetic attempt at discrediting a great fighter.Last edited by RussB23; 02-03-2017, 04:41 PM.

if you told khan to make 147 two days before the alvarez fight he wouldnt be able to, not because he is a natural MW and couldnt make 147 but because he bulked up too much at that point and couldnt get back down.
floyd is clearly not a natural WW regardless of what muscle mass he may have added for certain fights. mosley, dlh, cotto, judah, ortiz, maidana, baldomir, berto and alvarez are all naturally bigger than him. thats almost everyone he fought at 147 or above.
hatton and guererro are basically his size, not significantly bigger or smaller. only against pac and jmm did he hold a size advantage of any significance.

I always thought Mayweather was more concerned about his legacy than he was concerned with being an ATG. Waiting until he thought fighters were beatable before he would fight them. Sometimes making them wait many years so he would be guaranteed a victory. He would have been higher regarded if he fought some of those guys in their prime.
