    I think he is the best of his eara and just outside the top 10 ATG.
    If you disagree with me you overrate him or underrate him :D

    That's it? Wow, that really makes Mayweather overrated. Please. When Pacquiao was getting knocked out by "great" boxers such as Singsurat, Floyd was whipping great fighters like Hernandez. PBF is a touch above Pacman. Pacman is one or two scorecards away from not even being considered in the discussion.

    no way the dude gets severely underrated on these boards
    You say he's cherrypicked at the higher weight classes but of the four fights he had at welterweight he's fought a tune up (mitchell-understandable as he has to adjust to the new weight and couldn't get zab immediately), the former lineal champ (zab), the lineal champ at the time (baldomir) and the recognised champ at 140 (hatton). Now to me for four fights that's not half as bad as people make it out to be and i believe he was very unfortunate at 140 as hatton was being lined up for after the gatti fight (hatton even attended the fight) but hatton turned him down as did cotto. Give the guy a break

    Talent wise he is not overrated. What just sucks is that he never really faced top competition at the higher weights.
