Sugar Ray Leonard.
1979-1989
Fought the and defeated 3 of the greatest fighters ever and had the balls to rematch them.
Besides Manny no one Floyd fought was at the level of the great 4 of the 80s
That was not floyds fault and he can't be blamed his era only had one genuine legend in it.
Cotto, dlh and Shane all very very good but always 1 step below the all time elite

He cherrypicked nothing but other champions, ranked p4p fighters, hall of famers and top 3 fighters in his division. He did it all consecutively too.

Tszyu didn't want to fight Mayweather after he (Floyd) called him out in the Henry Bruseles post fight interview, instead he fought Hatton and lost and Mayweather fought Gatti and won.
Can't fault Mayweather for calling out Tszyu in 2004 and being ducked, and Mosley and DLH in 2005 and neither of them wanted him.

lol Baldomir
Oscar de la hoya: 154 WBC champion. Hall of famer -
way past it and still made it close
Ricky Hatton: #8 P4P. WBA Welterweight champion. IBF and the ring light welterweight champion. -
made ricky go up to welterweight were he wasn't tested yet.
Marquez: #2 P4P (Lightweight doe). hall of famer
Made a light weight climb up 2 weight levels and the best part is Floyd didn't even make weight to gain more advantage from a midget.
Mosley: #3 P4P and 147 WBA champion. Hall of famer
Way past it.
Ortiz: 147 WBC champion # 2 welterweight boxer
Ortiz who?
Cotto: 154 WBA light middleweight champion. #2 Super welterweight boxer. Hall of famer
Cotto was damaged goods from the Margarito and Pacquiao beating
Guerrero: #9 P4P and #3 Welterweight boxer. WBC interim champion
Guerrero.. okay..
Canelo: #9 P4P. 154 WBC and the Ring champion. #1 super welterweight boxer.
Took a young Canelo at a premature age when he was still learning the ropes. Not a good look.
Maidana (Twice): 147 WBA champion. Just came off a huge win over #9 P4P little bro
Most saw Maidana give him a beating
Pacquiao: #2 P4P, 147 WBO champion, #2 welterweight boxer. Hall of famer
Most saw Manny win all over the world
Berto: lol
Berto lololololololol
So yeah.. Not really. More like a fluke run. Reality Bites.
Rick Hatton's first fight @ 147 is with Floyd. Stop Falsifying truths bruh.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/19756446
first coming at welterweight against Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2007.
Floyd gave Maidana the hugfest of his life, while Maidana gave Floyd the beating of his life.
Hugfest = DQ
Still Maidana found a way.. sadly corrupt Judges didn't see it that way..
Pacquiao = how the world saw Pac winning..
Even in Spain, they saw Pac winning. (@ 14:00 mark, BOXING EXPERTS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO ALL FOR PAC)
https://youtu.be/l1Kij5gLwZY
England
@ 0:56 - The press in England have ran that fight in Slow motion and they found that the compubox figures to be totally wrong.
@ 2:40 - get that fight and look at it again, I think they were influenced by the commentary and by the punch stats, but if you watch that fight as the international people did without either of that commentary and those punch stat, people around the world. A lot of them thought Manny won.
Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, Argentina
Romania, Japan, Russia, Australia and
People around the world saw a Robbery.
Canelo was 23 years old when he faced Floyd. That dude is not ready for a top dog like Floyd at that day. Even if you try to hype Canelo up. He was still green back in the day.
Cotto damaged goods:
AFTER ALL THIS TRUTHS MCDONALD'S BLOCKED ME HAHAHA!! BIATCHED OUT!! CASE CLOSED!!

If Leonard Hagler Duran Hearns were in this era they may have been beaten by quite a few of the elite, you just cant tell what would happen as they had sht nights and they all lost so you never know, people think the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence that often works out to be total BS in reality, especially so when its formed from people reading colorful romantics written by historians that glorify so much to create larger than life characters.
