    In any era, would any boxer who fought in Floyd's weight class be 50-0 if they fought the same common opponents?

    I don't see any boxer in Floyd's era doing it.

    Maybe Hagler or Duran? Even then I doubt they would win all 50

    I don't know

    Floyd started at 130 and made it up to 154 undefeated

    How many superfeathers could really do that?

    Comparing him to Hagler or Duran??? Mayweather never fought a Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran. Benitez, etc in his whole career.

    Is it true that Mayweather contacted Margarito on how to properly stuff boxing gloves full of plaster?

    How many careers span 130-154? Don't think many super feathers through history would be able to beat WW Pacquiao, Marquez, Mosley or JMW Canelo and Cotto. I'll just say it; almost certainly none.

    I hope you're being sarcastic because Mayweather could've easily reached 80 fights if he fought Chavez's opponents IMO.

    Edwin Rosario
    Meldrick Taylor
    Pernell Whitaker

    These are all fighters with the capabilities of beating Mayweather.
    All three of those fighters were in their primes when Chavez faced them, Mayweather never has faced that type caliber fighers that were in their prime when he faced them.
    You must be a young boxing fan that doesn't really know much about past generations.

    Truth....Chavez fought anyone who was put in front of Him....No clauses or waiting for the time to be right and not many Dodgy manipulated Fights as far as I know....He was a Legend.!!!!
