Is Floyd Mayweather underrated?

By a fan boy he is overrated, by a neutral he maybe slightly underrated due to his resume not being as strong as the greats in the history of the sport and by a Pacquiao fan you would think he was a journeyman.

 

Of course he's under rated, give it fifteen years and people will soften.

 

hes overrated. lost to maidana, castillo, pac

 

Jake Lamotta struggles to put a Glove on Mayweather and Armstrong gets battered at 130 and decision at every other weight.

 

to Pacquiao???? WTF

 

Way overrated. TBE? Give me a break.

 

how can you possibly you rate him with his TUE, retiring-unretiring, cherrypicking, very defensiveness playing, etc. his legit record seems shortened and not 49-0. a lot of atg's are disqualified because of cheating.

 

Overrated ! Never fought an elite fighter in his prime he gets elevated by his fans because of his earnings ..

 

Do you really need that to be explained to you?:blood

 

TBE is the GOAT @130, schools all the 130 ATGs in a 12 rd modern fighter

135, 140 & 147 GOAT of $, matchmaking & ducking

 

Definitely OVERRATED

1) Genaro Hernandez – Zero wins over elite fighters in their prime. Only a champion due to the weakness of the division.

2) Diego Corrales – Did not even fight one elite fighter in his prime outside of the overrated Mayweather. No, Castillo is not elite, and he still knocked out Corrales in the rematch. Someone who gets dominated by Joshua Clottey and Joel Casamayor is not elite. For the pound for pound rankings to have put Corrales ahead of an all-time great middleweight (Bernard Hopkins) and heavyweight (Lennox Lewis) on the basis of beating weak competition like Juuko and Manfredy show how meaningless rankings are, and for Corrales to be a champion shows how weak modern divisions and belts are.

3) Jose Luis Castillo – B class fighter who got robbed in the first fight. Mayweather is the only elite fighter to lose to Castillo, not a very good distinction

4) Arturo Gatti – specifically referred to as a C-class boxer by Mayweather. No elite wins

5) Zab Judah – lost in literally every meaningful fight he ever had

6) Carlos Baldomir – zero wins over elite boxers

7) Oscar De La Hoya – 2-2 in his last 4 fights prior to Mayweather, actually 1-3 considering his gift decision over Sturm. Completely past his best. Shane Mosley and Felix Sturm already beat better versions of Oscar before Floyd did, so Mayweather doesn’t get any extra credit.

8.) Ricky Hatton – best wins are Kosta Tzyu (did nothing outside of beat Zab Judah), a shot Castillo, and weak Malignaggi. Pound for pound rankings of Hatton and his best win (Tzyu) were horribly put together.

9) Marquez – one of only two credible wins on Mayweather’s resume. Somewhat diminished due to the huge weight difference

10) Shane Mosley – almost 40 years old, been through multiple beatings, went 1-3-1 after the Mayweather fight, proving how past his prime he was. Vernon and Winky masterfully defeated better versions of Mosley, so Mayweather doesn’t deserve special treatment for this win

11) Miguel Cotto – past his prime after his loss to Antonio Margarito, but a good win nonetheless. His victory over Martinez does not hide Cotto’s regression, since Martinez had regressed even more. Two credible wins in 18 years is far from great.

12) Canelo Alvarez – zero wins over elite boxers

13) Marcos Maidana – zero wins over elite boxers.

14) Manny - arguably the biggest PPV bust in sports history

15) Andre Berto - well, we all know what a joke of a fight that was.

 

:deal

 

The last time he took a risk was to avenge his controversial decision to castillo who was a B+ fighter. That was 13 years ago.

I don't consider Cotto a risk after being obliterated twice before and already into his 30s. No Marquez who had just been cheated on the scales.

His resume is much worse than his reputation.

He's called the 1st or 2nd best difighter of his era solely for mythical H2H.

Besides two B+ wins over Corrales and Castillo what did Floyd accomplish opposition wise?

Seriously what did he actually do in the ring besides beat up past prime fighters a few very good fighters and a bunch of club fighters?

 

Griffin testa is that u?

 

Floyd owes what he had to the NSAC, Usada & Vegas boxing official always having his back. Plus a lot of his performances were likely enhanced by suspected Ped's abuse. Although even with all these advantages he still struggled to be a basically one armed , fighting in pain , Manny Pacquaio
Anyone that scored that fight 118-110 to Mayweather has to be incompetent to judge or blatantly corrupt in my opinion
