What has been floyd mayweather's best performance?

Hatton...He "keep breakin' that hoe down" then "they gon rescue that mutha****a".

 

I'd go with Gatti he completely destroyed poor Aturo. Though a lot of his fights down at 135 deserve a mention as well. Shame how god damned "awful" he's been from 140m and above in terms of competition.

 

His comp at 147+ has been way better than at 135 and it's even starting to rival his comp at 130.

 

A shot to **** Oscar, a shot to **** Mosley, a tiny Marquez, Hatton, a slow as molasses Baldomir and a recently defeated Judah...oh and Cotto?...

Personally I'd say Castillo was a better test than any of those. Though yeah his time at 130 was probably the best

 

Oscar was 34. He was the reigning WBC JMW champ. He had just destroyed Mayorga in 5 rounds(name another fighter who had an easier time with Mayorga), and he actually was doing ok vs. Hopkins before getting stopped. Oscar was past his best, but not shot to ****. That's a gross exaggeration.

Reigning WBA WW champ, ranked number 2 at WW at the time and number 3 p4p. He had just destroyed Margarito. He was hardly shot to ****. Martinez is about the same age as Mosley was in that fight and is also p4p number 3. People are begging for that fight, just like they were begging Floyd to fight Mosley. Another gross exaggeration on your part.

Ranked number 2 p4p at the time, future HOFer, and one of the most technically gifted fighters in the game. At basically the same weight he fought Mayweather and was dominated, an even older Marquez fought Pacquiao to a SD. Many thought Marquez won

Undefeated, ranked in the top 10 p4p, and was the recoognized champ at 140.

Baldo also hadn't lost in 7 years, and was the undisputed champ

Judah was still a very dangerous fighter. Look at how much credit people give Pac for beating Morales even though Morales was coming off a lopsided loss and had to kill himself to make weght.

Reigning WBA JMW champ, number 1 ranked JMW, coming off 3 straight stoppage wins, possible future HOFer.

.

That's only because Castillo gave Mayweather his toughest fight. However, Castillo isn't a better fighter than the guys Mayweather has fought at 147+. Furthermore, do you really think Castillo, Sosa, and N'Dou are really better wins than all the guys Mayweather has beat at 147+? That's 1 champ and 2 solid contenders. Mayweather has beaten 5 reigning champs at 147+(7 if you count the two guys coming up in weight), and is fighting a 6th next.

Floyd had a good run at 130. However, people aren't being objective. They just basically repeat the same thing people were saying years ago , which is that Mayweather hasn't fought anyone past 135. That simply isn't true anymore.

 

Convincing *****s that he's not ducking Manny Pacquiao.

 

Gatti that was one of the greatest boxing displays ever he was clinical

 

Corrales; I would argue Shane Mosley as well. He proved he could take a pop in that fight and still prove he could fight his game after.

 

Anybody who manages to break through and land hard shots on Floyd isnt going to like the reaction they get. His chin is solid, but underneath the defensive mastery is Grade-A heart, recuperative powers and grittyness.

Hopefully it never comes a point where this is exhibited in Trinidad-Whitaker type fashion.

 

Good post! I agree.

 

Corrales

 

Just the truth.

People like to wish Floyd was just skills and 'slickness', that he'll fold under pressure and cant take a punch; that his perceived arrogance will lead to his downfall and he isnt 100% all in - clean and dedicated - to continue dominating through his mid-30s. They wish he "hasnt fought anybody" and wont have severalto-be HOFers on his record, that he isnt 19-0 in world title fights, that the majority of his titles werent against the man, that at 35 he's "waiting" for someone else to fall off. They get on the internets and dedicate their time to knocking another man's hustle. atsch :rofl

 

Acelino Freitas tried that and would disagree with you.


Just saying.

 

:deal

 

Why the **** are you the only person to have posted his win over Chicanito. Also I thunk people for get he was nearly six foot aswell as a world class operator. Spectacular performance (much like de la hoya Vs Genaro)
