How Many Contenders Floyd Mayweather Beat

He lost Castillo 1. Maidana 1 mightve been a draw.

But, yes, in a 18+ belt era, he beat a lot of contenders.

 

Was the little bantamweight Mayweather got to move up in weight to fight him Jesus Chavez a contender?

 

Jesus Chavez never fought at Bantamweight ?

He fought his first 17 fights at Featherweight.

And then went on a run of being 19-0 at Super Featherweight when he fought Mayweather at Super Featherweight.

So Chavez never moved up to fight him ? He was already successfully campaigning at Super Featherweight for the past 4 years when he fought Mayweather.

And yes Chavez should be included as a contender he was a top 4 ranked Super Featherweight at the time I believe.

 

IMO Mayweather never lost.

 

Alot is made about the Castillo fight but people often forget Castillo lost alot of the early rounds and had quite a big deficit to make up.

There was also 2 rounds which had point deductions in which made the scoring harder.

Not to mention the 11th round was a hard round to score Mayweather stood in the pocket and traded with Castillo landing clean eye catching punches.

But Castillo landed more punches in the 11th round despite his punches not being as eye catching.

Again a very debatable round.

For what it's worth I had Mayweather winning.

All you said there is incorrect. Check his record, it's here: Jesus Chavez.

Chavez never even won TWO fights in a row, he never had a run of 19-0, although he did go 0-12 before his fight with Mayweather.

Jesus Chavez was 117 for this fight https://boxrec.com/en/event/7363/239252 and had many fights just over the bantamweight limit and at super bantamweight. Chavez had never fought above 124.5 until Floyd brought him up to 130.

 

I had it 115-112 myself.

 

Mayweather fought two men named Jesus Chavez. One of them was indeed ranked. The other was not. Your information is accurate.
