Mayweather was at 140 for precisely 12 months, with his last fight there happening roughly the same time that Hatton had fought Kostya. They were never at the same stages in their careers at 140, nevermind actually fighting in the same weight class. ...and why on earth are you calling him Money May?
He didn't beat Mosley yet so I may say that Joe's 48-0 is much better than Mayweathers 40-1 Castillo is the only point in Floyd's favor. As for Baldomir ... he was boxing Cinderella man who exposed Judah right before Floyd fought him. You may say that Judah was shell of himself when he fought Floyd which is proved by his VERY POOR record in his last 9 fights. I bet that Calzaghe's wins over Veit or Bika are at the same level as Floyd's over Baldomir and Judah.
Your right about one thing, He may end up 40-1. Judah went on to give a spirited effort against cotto and Clottey so he was far from done when Floyd fought him. As for Baldo...he wasnt that great but he beat Judah and Dominated Gatti going into the Floyd fight and people were starting to look at him in a Margarto light(meaning he had an iron chin, not the plaster) then Floyd went to easily win every round agaist him. Veit and Bika have never been the champs of anything. Bika had trouble with Codrington:-(
Lets do retrospective: Eubank ~ Corrales Veit ~ Castillo Lacy ~ Gatti Mitchell ~ Chavez Reid ~ Hernadez Kessler ~ Hatton Jones ~ DLH Hopkins ~ Marquez Woodhall - Judah Pudwill ~ Baldomir
Mayweather is a 5 weight world champion & has Calzaghe beat in a boxing skillset comparison tho... but I know you know this.
the main knock on mayweather( fair or not) is his level of competition. well calzaghe resume is even weaker then mayweathers's. its not a good thing when the two best fighters you beat, were over the age of 40.
JC fought 2 ATG who were more than 10 years past their respective primes so for you to try and compare JC and PBF you are out of your mind!!!!!!!! I'm know PBF fan but I do respect what he brings to the sport of boxing!!! You say PBF cheated but even if PBF was 135 he would have beaten JMM!!!!! Cut it out!!!:-(
Gatti never was as good, he was hyped because of his wars with Ward and he was destroyed by Floyd same as Lacy be Calzaghe. Baldomir beating shell of Gatti at 147 is proving only that Gatti was done at that time. As for Bardomir himself he was durable boxer with good chin but he was slow and not much skilled which worked perfectly in Floyd's favor ... Floyd's UD over Baldomir can be predicted at 100% rate.
Floyd takes it easy. You laugh at that Pudwill/Baldo comparison but you should put that icon next to 4 or 5 of those comparisons cause they're a joke. Putting names next to each other doenst make them equal Baldomir~Claslappy See. I can put names next to each other too
By who? If he wouldnt have taken the fight they would have said he was ducking Baldomir. Its always in someones favor in hindsight but at the time Floyd was getting **** about fighting Judah instead of Baldo.
