    It's a good resume. Not great, but you have to give the guy credit for how well he dominated the guys he fought.

    Pre 2007 - Very good.

    Post 2007 - Not good at all. Terrible, when you break it down.

    The thing that will hurt Floyd is this... For all this 'he beat the lineal champ' nonsense, he does not have A SINGLE WIN over an Elite/ATG fighter who was in their absolute prime and was Elite. Not one. That's pretty terrible (well, it's way behind pretty terrible) for a guy with a 17/18 year career! That's a hell of a long time, too.

    Only really one guy he hasn't fought, so it almost as good as it could possibly be

    He fought the best "available" with regards to his size....

    Tszyu was close to retirement in 2004, which is when Floyd moved up to 140.

    Kosta battered Mitchell in 2004 after an 18 month lay-off. Try again.

    He was still close to retirement. He retired in 2005.

    Still, May could have fought him. He needed up fighting Mitchell like 2 years after Kosta smashed him! :lol::lol:

    I rate Floyd's resume as devoid of any ATG fighters in their prime...Which is only a bad thing if there are ATG fighters in their primes to fight.

    People aren't gonna forget that him and Manny were #1 and #2 at 147 AND p4p for over 6 years without fighting, and people aren't gonna forget that Pacquiao was the one who wanted the fight.

    TBH, if Manny didn't exist I'd say Floyd did almost as well as he could have with the notable exceptions of Margarito, Williams, Tszyu, Freitas, prime Cotto, and Casamayor. So...still a lot of holes there.

    Again, it would be another thing entirely if he didn't duck so many people. Hopkins and Calzaghe come to mind as guys with relatively little in the way of prime ATG-level fighters, but their divisions were totally barren and they were often ducked themselves. Floyd had options and didn't take them.

    show me footage or a web article where kosta tyzu called floyd mayweather out..... same with antonio margarito for that matter.


    only footage you will find is margarito asking floyd for a fight during some press conference and floyd was at a table by himself.

    solid but no where near an ATG resume. He has a few misses.

    And Floyd said he'd fight him.

    Those two fights were THE big fights for May at the time. He avoided both of them.
