    Absolutely terrible. Mayweather has easily accomplished more in his career then either Arguello or Hopkins. Hell most feel that Floyd is the greatest ever at 135, and Floyd fough 4 divisions above that. And Hopkins? Best wins against smaller fighters and a rather mediocre reign at middleweight? Please.

    Another stupid post from you.Floyds defense is technically sound aswell as being athletically gifted. Floyd has the lowest hit percentage of any fighter since compubox's inception. Hopkins grabs, holds and headbutts his way to being outpointed by the likes of Calzaghe and Jermain Taylor. Toney lost several fights to journeymen during his career, and though gifted technically did not use his athleticism to dodge punches the same way Floyd does.

    Sweet Pea is the only fighter in your silly list that has a better defense then floyd, and because of his reliance of athleticism(and crack habit) didnt last long into his 30's.

    Please list what he does technically wrong.

    Pacquiao got his ass kicked by a shot Morales, and got his eye knocked out by Marquez. Floyd probably stops him inside 10 if they fought at 130.

    As for Arguello, its arguable who was better at 130, but there is no question Floyd has had the better career.

    Who in god's name besides yourself and Leon think Mayweather is even a top 10 Lightweight? :huh

    Bernard Hopkins has a superior resume to Mayweather in my estimation, and his achievements at his age are unprecedented.

    Alexis Arguello was a multi-weight world champion when there was only one champion per division. No Carlos Baldomir level opposition to wade through back in those days.

    Pac destroyed a shot Morales in 3 rounds, I don't see how that's "getting his ass kicked"

    Pac sparks Floyd out at 130.

    Pac destroyed a shot Morales who had just lost to Zahir Raheem and who was struggling with his weight.

    Before that he got his ass kicked. Morales even switching south paw in the 12 because he was so comfortably ahead.

    He then fought 2 indecisive fights with Marquez.

    Against Mayweather you get the technical brilliance of Marquez and Morales, but also the athleticism that only a fighter like Mayweather possesses.

    The only reason Pac hung with these guys was becuase of his superior athleticism. Against Mayweather its an advantage he doesnt have. At 130 this fight is a mismatch.

    Top 5? Are you serious? Floyd is ranked number 2 to me in the history of the sport. Roy Jones Jr is #1.

    I meant 130.

    Nonsense. BErnard Hopkins best wins are Oscar De La Hoya, Tito Trinidad and Kelly Pavlik. All 3 fighters had to come up in weight to face him. Its not a whole lot different then what Floyd did to Marquez.

    Floyd has dominated over 5 weight classes. Hopkins has only truly dominated in 2. Again no comparison. Even at his old age, its clear that if someone possesses speed and a decent work rate he's going to be in tough shape. As to why I expect him to lose to Pascal if not make it an unbearable affair. AGainst guys like Pavlik and Tarver who just stand there and absorb punches he looks great. floyd looks great against a myriad of styles.

    Floyd has won I believe 3 undisputed world championships. I also believe the Oscar fight at 154 his 5th weight class was for the lineal championship. So yeah, even though there is multi-weight classes, its assured that Mayweather goes after who has the real claim to the title.

    BUll**** man. Didn't you know? Nostradamus predicted that Floyd would be born and SRR is just warming up the #1 spot for floyd until he's born.

    LMAO!
