    Turning pro in the super featherweight division on October 11, 1996, Mayweather blitzed Roberto Apodaca in just two rounds, and his journey to greatness was underway. After one more win in 1996, Mayweather went 10-0 with 9 knockouts in 1997, and added five more wins to his ledger in the first half of 1998. Fight fans were chomping at the bit to see the ultra-talented Mayweather in with the elite at 130 pounds, and on October 3, 1998, they got their chance when the 21-year old faced off against Genaro Hernandez for 'Chicanito's WBC world championship.

    Mayweather defended his super featherweight title eight times from 1998 to 2001, defeating Angel Manfredy (TKO2), Carlos Rios (W12), ****** Juuko (KO9), Carlos Gerena (TKO7), Gregorio Vargas (W12), Diego Corrales (TKO10), Carlos Hernandez (W12), and Jesus Chavez (TKO9). Corrales, Hernandez, and Chvez would all go on to win world titles after their one-sided losses to Mayweather.

    With 130 pounds cleaned out, Mayweather sought new challenges at 135 pounds, and he got it in his WBC lightweight championship match against Mexico's tough Jose Luis Castillo on April 20, 2002. But after 12 hard-fought rounds, Mayweather had won his second world crown.

    "I was outboxing him easy," said Mayweather. "He was tough and it was a good learning experience for me."


    ''Shane Mosely''1992 United States Amateur Champion at Light Welterweight (139 lbs) Shane moved back down to Light so he could get easier KOs.

    Floyd is a natural feather and shane is a natural welter. Although shane started amature as a light he had to move up because he looked like Lil Wayne in the Face(a Corpse)

    Bottom Line Floyd Aint picking on lil guys. He is The little Guy!

    Some Times I question the intelligence of the people on this Board. Were your head gear in sparring please...

    It doesn't matter what weight he started in. What matters is what weight his in now. He is a welterweight now and he should be fighting boxers at his weight class.

    Pacquiao started his career as a Jr Flyweight and is now fighting as high as welterweight. If he comes down and fight israel vazquez, wouldn't you consider that picking on smaller fighter?

    like i said what matters is what weight class his in now. He fights anybody below 147 lbs then he is fighting someone who is smaller than him. :good

    Damn right.

    Any poster claiming Floyd has been fighting smaller fighters than himself can shut up.

    But for all of those who criticize him for not taking on the best Welterweights in the world, despite claiming to be the greatest fighter that ever lived, laughably claiming "he had nothing left to prove" after defeating a Junior Welterweight last time out, you have a good point. :good
