When he came into division he beat the top 2 guys in Judah and Baldomir. He just beat the #1 WW in the world last year. Its not an ATG WW resume but its solid.
welterweight career stats 6 fights 5 1/2 years vs Sharmba Mitchell- welterweight debut against a career 135-140 pounder mitchells 61st fight, 2nd at welter..another shot guy This content is protected Carlos Baldomir- entering his 55th and almost 37 years old loses to floyd, and loses next 3 of 6 to end up 46 wins 13 losses This content is protected Juan Manuel Marquez- 13 years as a featherweight and 37 years old This content is protected LEGEND :rofl:rofl
Floyd best resume was 10 years ago at Super Feather....Manfredo, Hernandez, Chavez, Corrales ( that was HOF ATG class). 147 is far behind PACMAN it makes me Laugh MAYweather fans talk so much ****....they try to enforce RULES on PACMAN for drug testing....and cant meet rules themselves....Didnt he fail weight vs Marquez ? they claim Pacman doesnt fight people at their natural weight class.... Hatton faced Mayweather at 147 where he almost got KOD by LUIZ COLLAZO....Marquez???? Mayweathers best win was vs De La Hoya at Light middle...he scraped through that Mayweather now now needs a warm up before PACMAN???? dont you think Mosley at 38 could have done with a warm up after being out of the ring 20 months
I was just thinking the same thing. His "career" at 147 has been really lack luster to put it mildly.
judah was no longer a top 2 guy when beaten by a barley top 10 guy at the time in baldomir time to go to school floyd fan boy RING MAGAZINE 2005 Welterweights Zab Judah, Champion 1. Antonio Margarito 2. Cory Spinks 3. Shane Mosley 4. Luis Castillo 5. Thomas Damgaard 6. Kermit Cintron 7. Jose Antonio Rivera 8. Oktay Urkal 9. David Estrada 10. Carlos Manuel Baldomir so Judah loses to the #10 guy but you still have judah as one of the top 2 guys with the former #10 jumping past all the other guys with 1 win? :rofl any of those top 3 guys would have been nice.....but floyd chose the 37 year old guy who had 1 lucky fight in his whole career, the slowest plodding welter known to man i think you floyd fan boys just make up past history
Floyd went after the belt holders and won the lineal championship. That's what he's supposed to do.:deal
Sharmba Mitchell - 35 years old, 1 fight removed from Jr WW Zab Judah - 8-5 career record at 147 Carlos Baldomir - 35 years old, 43-9-6 record Ricky Hatton - 1 fight in his career at 147 and lost to a journeyman in almost everyone's opinion, 1 fight removed from Jr WW Juan Manuel Marquez - 36 years old, never fought at 147 or even 140, 2 fights in career above 130 Shane Mosley - 38 years old Mosley has been Floyd's only legitimate opponent at 147, and Floyd's fans ridicule Pacquiao for now fighting the same guy. Speaks volumes as to each's respective level of competition.
