    All those guys are miles ahead of the dross that Mayweather has feasted on....yes, Cotto, whom I actually have admired as a fighter, and one of the best that Mayweather fought, is dross compared to the likes of Buchanan, DeJesus, Laguna, Buchanan, Ortiz, etc., and especially Napoles....the only one who escapes that description is prime Pac...circa '09 especially....and he was past his best when Mayweather finally cherry picked him.

    I think Floyd could hold championships at 130 and 140, for sure. Would likely favor him over the likes of Cruz, Ramos, Cokes and Stracey, so championships at higher weight classes aren't out of the question either. He might not go undefeated, but I think he had the potential to be a serious force, regardless of the era.

    Yes, big time embarrassed yourself.

    Vincent Saldivar and Flash Elorde were amazing. Both are legends of their divisions.

    Eh, I've been doing more digging and watching more footage of random fighters from that era and my mind still isn't changed.

    Shame on you for thinking you're some kind of boxing styles expert and never hearing of those guys.

    You prejudices aren't allowing you to learn anything of substance.
