Floyd Mayweather Jr's Resume...

Top 5 Wins (in order):

1.Corrales
2.Castillo II
3.De La Hoya
4.Hatton
5.Judah
(I cannot include Castillo I in this as I don't believe Floyd won the fight)

Overall, I think his resume is good not great. Would have been so much better had he fought guys like Tszyu, Mosley and Williams.

I think his resume is:

- weaker than Oscar's, Barrera's, Morales's, Hopkins's, Pacquiao's

- roughly on a par with Tito's, Toney's, Jones's

- better than Calzaghe's, Mosley's, Lopez's, Tszyu's, Marquez's

*I'm not sure of my placings of Pacquiao and Mosley, maybe they should both be in the middle bracket.

 

As much as my standards have gone down I couldn't let myself put Hatton there.

 

I agree thats why I said he should fight a couple of those guys.Re-read carefully:goodHe can't be expected to fight them all.Not at his age you're right

 

His opposition hasn't been that great, however coming up in weight is what makes his resume great.

 

Elaborate on who stands out on their resume, so I can have a better understanding of how theirs is better please:good

 

I'm not going to do so with Pacquiao because as I said, I'm not sure of his and Mosley's at this point, I need to have a think about them before taking a definitive position.

But for me Barrera's and Morales's are clearly better than PBF's.

All-round stronger and deeper, better longevity, better "best wins".

Barrera's top 3 wins are Hamed and Morales twice. Morales's top 2 wins are Pacquiao and Barrera. For me, all five are better wins than Mayweather's best win (Corrales). I know most people would disagree with that, but I think that win is overrated because of the sheer quality of Mayweather's performance. But for me, Chico is an overrated fighter. IMO he came off worse v both Casamayor and Castillo, and his resume is pretty thin.

Mayweather beat good comp at 130 and 135, but not so at 140 and 147. His best wins above 135 were Zab "Big Fight Loser" Judah (who had lost to Baldomir FFS!), De La Hoya (an unimpressive performance v a well past-prime Oscar) and Hatton (who Collazo had already proved was not comfortable at 147). At 39 fights, his resume is light compared to MAB and El Terrible.

Had Floyd fought Tszyu, Mosley, Williams etc, he could have had a very strong resume. But he didn't.

IMO :good

 

A great record.

130 - Freitas and Casamayor
135 - Grigorian, Spadafora, Dorin and maybe Johnston
140 - Tszyu and/or Hatton
147 - Margo
154 - never was his weight class so the DLH win for the WBC was cool enough.

Those 5-8 fights really would have changed his legacy. He would appear invincible and his record would look ridiculous.

Great record but a shame about a few fights.
