    Thats what it sounds like to me....According to this board Floyd beats anyone 1996 and up but loses to anyone 1995 and below? So basically he'd lose to Chavez, Whitaker, Taylor, Leonard, Hearns, Pryor, Camacho, Duran, Norris, Jackson, Curry, Rosario, Mancini, Ayala, McGirt, Nelson, Starling, Brown, Breland, Honeygunn, Blocker, Bramble, Randall...etc...

    Apparently its the year not his skills that is responsible for his excellence in the ring, how come there are no other fighters from the 96 Olympic team still undefeated and dominating the sport? Is Floyd the only one, I guess that doesn't mean that he is really that good he just lucky hunh?

    :deal

    No they just like being opposite of the truth, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is just too good and too smart. He didn't retire broke or let boxing retire him.

    Props to all who actually go to a boxing gym!!:thumbsup

    Floyd been dominating for 20 years and they still got the gall to question his greatness in this sport. He has beat every name in the sport and they still question his ability, his skills, his talent. You would think that after 20 years some things would just be obvious. He is an ATG

    Out of that list you mentioned, Floyd probably beats about half of them. A quarter of those fights are competitive and could go either way and the last quarter floyd loses to. thats just my opinion on the matter

    And what exactly is Margarito's greatest accomplishment? He beat Cotto? Is that all? Look man, it takes more than one or two victories to make this guy relevant in a Mayweather discussion. For Margarito to mean anything to me, he would of had to beat Mosley, Pacquiao, Cotto, Oscar, and Trinidad, maybe then one might say he was ducked by Mayweather.

    One victory, via bricks, over Cotto and thats all he got to his name? He aint accomplished Sh-t!! Dont even put him in the same sentence with Floyd.

    Loses to Hearns, Duran and Leonard can go either way, Whitaker and Chavez are extrenly close. The rest are wins for Floyd.

    So why hasn't he loss to half the fighters of this era ...if Floyd is vulnerable to that many fighters from the 80s like you say then certainly he would of been beat multiple times in his own era.

    If Pacquiao beating opponents in this era is a major accomplishment then why isn't Floyd beating fighters in this era a major accomplishment? Pac's wins count but Floyd's dont...Floyd has to beat fighters from the 80s to be considered great?

    I find it a little funny that no one says that Chavez needs to fight guys like Duran did in his era and move up from lightweight to SMW like Duran. Nope. Latin fighters are NEVER compared to each other or ask to accomplish something another Latin fighter has done.

    Those "PBC" fighters are compared to every ****ing body in boxing history though.:-(

    Who exactly thinks he'd lose to McGirt, Mancini, Nelson, Rosario and Bramble ?
    :huh

    He'd probably beat most of those you named. Not all of them. But most of them.

    Floyd himself is the main reason why the consensus is that many of the big time oldies beat him.
    If he just had followed boxing's rules, instead of acting as and getting a diva treatment, he probably would have had a much bigger status right now, but probably earned a lot less money.

    Chiosing his own opponents, not having to defend against mandatories, or even at the weightclass. Not having to cope with pursebids and overseas fighting. Not having and wanting to fight the best available at the time. It all makes it look like a big hoax.
    While he definitely had the talent to come out as the very best in and around his weightclass without all those perks and antics.

    If he had just followed boxing's rules he might have had a couple of losses on his record, but people probably would have awarded him a higher status as they do now.
