Mayweather's Resume

Ducking Paul Williams and Antonio Margarito while they terrorized Floyd's division will make Floyd's resume be questioned forever.

Pacquiao has better wins than Floyd.

 

yawn.

best win was trex carralez.

next.

 

we've reached a new low....:verysad

 

Mayweather ducking of Paquaio is nothing short of PURE COWARDICE!!!
Add to this the blatant ducking of Margarito, Tsyzu. Cotto & Mosely until they'd already been defeated. He really should have 2 losses on his record Castillo I & Maidana too. Floyd T>B>E> ?? No Way Jose Not even an ATG ATG's Daddies dont say " I'm not letting Little Floyd fight Paquaio, his health comes first ROFLMAO

 

It's alright. He fought his best competition at his lower weights, before his head got too big and then started thinking he is the best ever just because he is undefeated. If he kept the mentality he did when he fought Corralles, it could be a lot better, but he would probably have some losses too

 

pedjr is just a bum beather, nothign more, nothing less and soon will be a footnote in history: the guy who ran from a midget.:good

meanwhile pac;s name will be etched in history: fotd and 8div champ.:deal

 

You can believe all that as you wish. That's a lot of names that were apparently afraid of Floyd's fearsome stoppage potential. Oh, and of course there's still Martinez, who has called Floyd out for years running. And Lara. And GGG. And the fact that Floyd gave the options of the mighty Khan or Maidana in his poll of who his next opponent should be. Tells you all you need to know.

Floyd doesn't fight bums, but he does not fight the best names possible by any reasonable standard. There is not one opponent on his resume that could be qualified as an elite guy in terms of the opponent's in-ring condition at the time Floyd fought them. His resume pales in comparison to SRL, Ali, etc.

 

beather?

are you calling Floyd a bum beaver?

 

Ggg & martinez never call out hopkins & ward why is this, but want the much smaller floyd? He freed himself from the slave chains arum, by buying out his contract because corrupt bob did not want to make the oscar fight folks. Get it now keyboard warriors!!!

 

my gbrain jst works faster than my fingers. they cant keep up.:good

 

Castillo was not an elite fighter when Floyd fought him, nor was he ever elite. Prior to fighting Floyd, he already had three defeats and his most notable wins were barely beating Stevie Johnson for the belt and defending it against him and barely winning again. He was a very good fighter at his best, but no higher than B+ level.

Maidana's claim to fame at Welterweight is beating an untested Welterweight Broner and two tough fringe contender level guys in absolute wars. He also lost by a huge margin to Devon Alexander. Timothy Bradley has a better Welterweight resume easily, and there's a solid number of Welters that would beat Maidana imo. That doesn't mean Maidana is a bad fighter, but he's B-level.

Lara stomped out Trout, which is Canelo's best win(and a questionable one at that). He also has an unofficial win over Paul Williams, and he presents clear style problems for Floyd. He has also been calling out Floyd for years.

Mayweather is bashed some for calling out smaller guys because he's clearly a lot better than the guys he's choosing to fight and he's the P4P #1. He's also wearing a hat saying he's TBE. He is held accordingly to a higher standard, and makes little effort to meet it. Martinez is calling out the best P4P fighter who is all of one weight class lower than him and is willing to meet at a catchweight. GGG is willing to meet as low as 154. Floyd would get massive credit for beating either guy, even draining them. Crickets from the Mayweather camp for years.

And SRL fighting Duran is not the same as Floyd fighting JMM, not even close. Duran, besides just flat being better than JMM by a large margin, fought eight times at Welterweight over a two year span prior to fighting SRL, beating the tar out of former Welterweight champion Carlos Palomino along the way. He had time to adjust to the weight naturally and looked great doing it. You can argue it wasn't his best weight, and I'd agree, but he was still in his prime and an elite fighter. And SRL was always going to rematch him, he just made the date shorter when he heard about Duran's partying, which is all on Duran.

By contrast, JMM(who is again, not on Duran's level) jumped two weight classes with no time to prepare, and Floyd still cheated him on the scales to help ensure his victory, putting him at even more of a disadvantage on fight night. JMM spent time after the fact getting used to the weight.

The rest I won't go into, as it's ridiculousness speaks for itself, and this post is long enough as it is. Floyd's resume is not a bad one when all is said and done. But it could have been much better and Floyd could still improve it even now. But even most of his fans recognize at this point that he's not going to do that. Safety-first.

 

Even if Floyd loses his next fight, he's still an ATG, and a future HOFer.

 

All those things are true. It just happens that as impressive as Floyd's career has been, he could have maybe made a case for being the GOAT had he made some of the matches he's avoided, and while he has no shot at that now, he could still improve his legacy. But it's not going to happen.

 

I have a question that never gets answered.. If everyone Mayweather beat at ww are B level fighters that are ranked in the top of the division, wo are the A fighters not named Floyd and Manny? There's no one that are A level that I can think of if Mosley, Cotto, Khan, Maidana, Marquez, and Bradley are not...

Also you say x fighter called out Floyd for years.. Everyone from 130-175 called out Floyd.. Who in boxing would not want to fight Floyd.. People get on Floyd for not exceeding his max weight by 8 pounds for a fight when those guys come in at 170+.. Have someone out weighed by 30 pounds and lean on him all fight and that's almost an automatic L.. It's also funny that Oscar was pay his prime at 34 so that didn't count, but Martinez is damn near 40 and Mayweather is scared..
