    Looking back at Mayweather career he's been in 25 title fight's, vs 23 Champions but he's managed to take 11 title's. In these 11 fight's who in your opinion was the best. Will do this for more fighters as well.👍

    G.Hernandez (WBC SFW Champ,RTD8 ), D.Corales (IBF SFW Champ, TKO10)*, J.Castillo(WBC LW Champ,UD), A.Gatti(WBC JWW Champ,RTD6), C.Baldomir (WBC WW Champ,UD)*, O.Hoya(WBC JMW Champ,UD), S.Mosley (WBA WW Champ,UD)* V.Ortiz(WBC WW Champ,KO4),M.Cotto(WBA JMW Champ,UD),S.Alvarez (WBC JMW Champ, MD),M.Maidana(WBA WW Champ, MD),M.Pacquiao (WBO WW Champ,UD)

    (*Corales was stripped days prior to fight, Baldomir was technically WBA/IBF WW Champ as well, Didn't pay for Mosley's title.)

    1.Best name(who will people remember most?)
    2.Best performance(best overall showing given the opponent/circumstances?)
    3.Toughest fight(who put up the best challenge?)
    4.Best timing(who was most prime?)
    5.Best overall(who overall is the best fought?)

    1. Manny Pacquiao
    2. Diego Corrales / Canelo Alvarez two different performances showing his transition
    3. Castillo won the first imo, fair win the second
    4. Alvarez was young but every goddamn fan was screaming for it regardless
    5. Pacquiao even if he didn't turn up/had a joke strategy, he'd win 4 if they fought 10 times

    1.I think Oscar is arguably his biggest name he turned PBF&Pac into stars.

    2.I'd rate Alvarez up there at 37/8 that was a big time performance vs what's shaping up to be a good young Champ.

    3.IMO Maidana was the toughest overall this, was a rugged dirty fight.

    4.I think Castillo was the most prime coming off 5 defenses of the Lineal LW Title, would go on to win the WBC LW Title after.

    5.For best overall probably Pacquiao who is one of the ATG's of this era.

    he did not took it from pac, they gave it to him. his own father was at ring side asking him why he was fighting scared. they allowed him to use clinching that prevented a good fight from happening and he just pot shotted to gain points just to show proof.
