Dick Tiger or Floyd Mayweather Who Do You Feel Is The better figher as a ATG?

Dick Tiger's resume so monumentally takes a dump on Floyd's that it's hard to build a case for Mayweather, even if you think he has the better ability.

I mean, consider this, from the time he became champ, did Tiger really perform any less consistently than Mayweather did?

Yes he lost to Giardello, Archer, Griffith (once unfairly) and Foster, but did Floyd even FACE anyone as good as those guys around the time he fought them? My answer? Nup. And Floyd still has an arguable loss to Castillo and imo, even DLH.

I see no reason to presume that if Floyd faced the level of comp that Tiger did that he comes off any more successfully or consistently.

 

If you want to look at their whole careers and broaden the range of opponents, you could extend Floyd's list to look like this:

Floyd:
DeLaHoya
Hatton
Gatti
Corrales
Castillo (twice)
Baldomir
Judah
G. Hernandez
Chavez
Manfredy
Corley
N'Dou
Sosa
C. Hernandez
Vargas
Gerena
Augustus


But on the flipside, you'd still have:

Tiger:
Fullmer (twice)
Giardello (twice)
Benvenuti
Torres (twice)
Downes
Carter
Fernandez
Hank
Webb
Armstrong (three times)
Pompey
Rouse
Kendall
Mims
Casey
Rivero
Gonzales
DePaula
Zalazar
Don Fullmer
Greaves
Sandy
Pickett
McAteer


Tiger's list still outdoes Floyd's IMO.

 

I think Carlos Hernandez and Chavez are good wins personally, remember after he beat them, they were figuring in world class operating bouts. And he was more consistent than Tiger as has been said, whereas Tiger has probably better wins, Floyd has some quality ones. The man proved his greatness in my eyes at 130.
