Floyd Mayweather Has Never Defeated A Peak ATG Top 20 Weight Division Champ

One big point missed, for how many of these fights was floyd in his peak and in his ideal weight class??????

 

He's also only fought at 154 twice, and once against a guy five years younger than him. Had Cotto not had his ass kicked twice, nobody would have been calling him "past his prime".

 

But my point is, no matter what you say when he fought half of these guys, he was also not in his prime and not in his ideal weight class.. look at floyd, through age hes 147 but his size says 140 to me.. so really its not prime vs not prime.. and floyd wins lol

 

But your looking into it too much... it's hard to have two guys prime v prime.. i mean hagler ray leanords a good example... if hagler would of won that people would of just said oh leanord was old, hadn't fought in 3 years etc.. leanord wins it an he an ATG lol were the prime v prime... no.

corrales was unbeaten...
hatton was unbeated
cotto had just beat margarito, but i agree he was mentaly fragile but theres no denying he put in a great performance vs floyd
castillo is surely an atg at 135??
Hernandez was unbeaten in 7 years & had never been beaten at 130.. and floyd was 21...
Floyd jumped at 154 to fight oscar, who'd fought at the weight for 8 years..he was past his prime.. but then even in oscars prime he lost most of his big fights.
Marquez is an ATG

 

What prime ATGs could he have realistically fought, though?

 

Bull****. He's taken on nothing but champions and highly ranked fighters coming off impressive wins since coming back from retirement. The softest option would have been fighting total bums, never mind C-level fighters like Brandon Rios.

 

Yes agreed. I've always said Floyd lacks a signature win. It's bad when Diego Corrales is your best win. If Floyd beats Canelo, then Canelo will be his best win. His biggest hope at that point, legacy wise, would be to hope that Canelo later establishes himself as an ATG.

 

you understand there is factual evidence that mosley ducked floyd due to a "toothache" right? larry merchant in a post fight interviewed laughed at floyd when he said hed love to fight hamed "haha! his not gonna fight you". and he was right.. hamed ducked marquez who was his mandatory for 2 years why would he fight someone who looked completely invincible

at the time tszyu was on showtime floyd was on HBO, arum was floyds promoter at the time so you just know that greedy mofo aient going to co promote, he almost never has...
