mayweather never beat the best in any weightclass

lol always can count on you C Money to bring up the negatives lol or be contrary rather

 

Unifying belts is not necessarly an indication that a boxer fought the best opponents.

Where, for example, the recent belt unification in the Super Middleweight division was significant in that it determined who the real champion is, a tournament involving all the current title holders in the Super Featherweight division wouldn't determine anything given that such tournament wouldn't include Manny Pacquiao.

As for Mayweather, he fought Hernandez, Manfredy, Juuko, Vargas, Corrales, Hernandez and Chavez while each of them were widely recognized as top tens of the 130lbs division (135lbs in Corrales' case).

 

You're all over the place. Casamayor and Freitas were mostly fighting low-end to average boxers during the period I'm referring to.

Also read the seminal post and put my own post in its proper context.

 

Who said anything about rank? I rate Cotto above Williams but Floyd should fight both. So, given the history between Spadafora and he and a title unification event, it should have happened. 3 years and a rehab offer was a sad reflection on Floyd.

ANY DIVISION? Floyd hasnt fought all the top guys:nono

 

Its the truth:good Those were the top opponents missed at each weight.

What I'm saying is Floyd puts all that to rest by beating all the top guy's at 147. He does? Then he is the MAN. But it has to happen,Cotto and Williams.

 

Diego Corrales anyone?

 

130...beat Genaro Hernandez. Beat Diego Corrales, who was stripped from his belt. Mayweather defended the title 8 times, he dominated.

135...beat Castillo twice. He was the best.

140...ok, he didn't beat the best.

147...needs to fight Cotto.

154...Beat Oscar, who was the most popular and recognizable name in a chaotic division with no clear #1.


Mayweather beat the best in two, arguably three, divisions.

 

Yes he should have fought Corrales, and Casamayor, AND Freitas.
There's no doubt that Corrales and Casa were the next two. EVERY Division there's names missing.

Why not just prove whats what at 47? I hope he does:yep

 

Sorry pal he never beat all the top opponents in any one division. Gatti wasnt the best and Judah and Baldo ain the fuking BEST:nono

Castillo was a fair #1, but if Spadafora was such **** why was it so difficult? Why did it require rehab?:-(

ON...and ON!!!

Just ****ing do the right thing at 147 and Floyd can lay his claim and forget the past discrepancies.

 

You can say Floyd never cleaned a division (though he was extremely dominant at 130), but he beat the best in two or arguably three divisions.

 

Exactly, and that's enough. You would have to go to the ATG list to find anyone better for sure.
I think Oscars age should be left out of the argument, especially by those who picked Oscar to win by brutal k.o.
The fact is with the size advantage, and every other advantage going to Oscar. Floyd deserved the youth advantage in that one ...lol

 

:good

 

I think Floyd put himself at the top of the ATG list, so what exactly have you been arguing?:huh

Floyd left names at 30. 35, 40, and might at 47? That might just be a new ATG record.:yep
