    They are close, but I think Mayweather is a bit better.

    We're all reconsidering Floyd's status in the ATG category because he knocked out an over-rated, over-eager, junior welterweight?

    Floyd still needs to beat a great prime fighter. Hatton is a good fighter that wasn't fighting at his natural weight. You don't become better than the likes of Pernell Whitaker on tonights performance.

    Whitaker was robbed when he fought Oscar. He knocked him down, made him miss all night long, and outlanded him.

    ur kiddin right? Look I find Floyd more explosive. but he needs to face and beat someone as great as him in their prime or close to it like a Cotto. Sweet Pea beat JCC, Nelson in their primes and defensively, Pea was better, he goes thru rounds without getting hit

    Mayweather punches a bit harder. But for sheer skillful all round boxing, Whitaker. Especially defense, and variety of defensive moves.

    This is a great question. I have to think about this. PBF has done great things, but Whitaker was amazing, even though I didn't like how he fought.

    Yes! He was already coked up and he still made Oscar look foolish.

    Should i remind you that mayweather is a super featherweight, which natural welterweight did whitaker face.
