    What's the point if you're seeking out less challenging fights?

    Cmon its not that bad in the case of this discussion. Look at the way Forrest offset Mosley, or Mayorga offset Forrest. Floyd has never been lost, confused or drowned, in any of his fights. Were still talking about championship opposition, and maybe what you guys are really saying is that Floyd is so good, he needs to seek out "great" opposition, which I would agree, but I dont think much of a case can be made for him having so many flaws that hes been able to navigate his career so perfectly for a decade and a half but more of how he falls into the ATG lists because of the opposition he has been fighting.

    At 130 there is no fighter that beats him at that weight. Alexis Arguello would give Floyd his toughest challenge but fall short. Floyd weaknesses such as low output and too defensive came as he moved up in weight.

    At 147 Mayweathers low output would be his undoing against the elite of the division although I think he would be competitive with most of them. At 130-140 I believe him to be one of the best of all time he was much more active at these weights and also showed alot more movement which he has somewhat abandoned at 147. Hes a great fighter imo although his opposition lately has been poor.

    Yeah, the run of his at 130 gets ignored quite a lot. It's not just the movement he had there either, it was the positioning that impressed me more. The way he would crouch against Corrales then take advantage of the right moment to spring through with accurate right hands and hooks was class. But then we'll only get people saying Corrales was made to order in response to that. It's a good win regardless.

    I think Floyd just recently grew into being a true welterweight. Hes always been a small guy, but getting a little older now he looks stronger and more filled out. The Mosley fight should be interesting.

    Even if this is true, he's been winning fights at 147 for some time and against fighters who have done well at the weight, so he's been a valid welterweight for a while. That's how i look at it anyway. That's not to say he is at his own best form at 147, but he's a proven 147 man. I think he'll beat Mosley anyway, Shane will probably be looking without ideas at stages of the fight. Like against Winky when he'd flurry and every semi punch would hit the gloves of Winky, it was like he was working the pads.

    Yeah I think Shane is going to have a tough time closing the gap, and going back to my other statement, even moreso now that Mayweather is a little stronger.

    Agreed he did seem bigger but it make have looked that way because Marquez was undersized to say the least. Yeah if Floyd can beat Mosley then Pac he will be the best of the generation for me.

    Floyd is massively overrated, even for ability.
