    Good luck finding fighters on his speed level. Judah was one of them and he got worked. Ortiz and Hatton had good speed and they got worked.

    Floyds a great fighter, but heres a side fact for you as I know jas likes fun facts.
    Calzaghe was the first fighter to hold Ring titles in 2 divisions at the same time. The man in 2 divisions

    Edit: Pernell Whitaker did not achieve this feat meaning Mayweather Jr. will be be the first fighter in history to do this unless someone can think of a fighter that has.

    Michael Spinks had WBA/WBC/IBF/Lineal 175 titles and won IBF/RING Heavyweight titles but did not hold 2 of the major belts that include IBF, WBO, WBA and WBC.

    Mayweather might get stripped of one of his JMW titles before May 3rd.

    once he realises he can make history by holding on to a belt, he will use his financial pull and influence and tell the sanctioning body that he wants to keep the belt!!

    Quality of opposition > Belts, especially if you got it from a paper champ.

    only paper champs are ones that fought for vacant titles IMO. Mayweather has beat nobody for a vacant title

    Not always true. Paper champs are people who hold titles but lack the caliber of being a true champion.
    For instance in Mayweather's recent encounters, Ortiz (no explanation needed here), Guerrero (beat hype job Berto) and to some extent Cotto (got the belt from injured Foreman and a past prime Margarito, he was a true champ at WW though) are paper champions.
    I'm not saying it's outright bad, but I'll put his win over Mosley above all of those combined.
