Is Floyd Mayweather the greatest lightweight of all time?

I dont you could even do that..His reign was to short there and frankly he did not look as good as his 130 days in any of his fights at lightweight.

Lightweight is probably the most solid division ever.

 

to be the greatest, there should be another great wich should elevate your game. I'm not sure there is someone else in his prior wt class which made him do so.

 

In no real order

Roberto Duran
Ike Williams
Benny Leonard
Joe Gans
Pernell Whitaker
Carlos Ortiz
Tony Canzoneri
Julio Cesar Chavez
Packey McFarland
Barney Ross

There are probably some Ive missed and certainly several more I would put over Floyd.

 

he didn't fight a lot of people there so no. However he did beat the man at 135 twice. Castillo was in prime and fought stevie johnston 2x and got a win and a bull**** draw. Then he beat Joel casamayor who was argueably the best lightweight at that time as well.

 

Duran. :deal

 

duran hands down

 

Do you mean super featherweight? Because Floyd did not do anything at lightweight, but he certainly is a top 5 130 guy.

 

WTF? After moving up from Super Featherweight, Mayweather only fought 4 times at Lightweight. One of those fights was considered a very controversial decision against Castillo. How on earth can anyone consider him to be the greatest Lightweight of all times based on a controversial win over Castillo, a win in the rematch, then wins over Sosa and Phillip N'dou?

 

Duran. Mosley could have been if there was more competition at 135 when he was prime

 

How can he be mentioned as greatest at LW when he only fought twice with Castillo and moved up to 140? He spent more time at 130 then he did at all the other divisions he was in.

 

she's a bad girl:yep

 

Shane Mosely should go on that list.
