    Baldomir? That's honestly about on the level of Ruiz. I don't rate any of those fighters "very high" but I rate most of them. Good wins, the same should be said of Holyfield's wins, except his resume is deeper.

    Fair enough. I disagree that PBF dominated his opponents as you say though. I think people need to watch his fights more closely. Of the opponents you named, Corrales was the only one he impressively dominated, even if he did shut out Baldomir, it certainly wasn't impressive.

    Ok....

    You rate Baldomir very high?

    And you think Mayweather dominated Castillo (most feel he lost this fight) and DLH ( a split decision, dubious yes, but certainly not a domination).

    You feel he was more dominant over these fighters than Jones was over

    Hopkins, Toney, Hill, McCallum, Johnson, Griffin, Ruiz (you listed Baldomir, so I feel good mentioning a HW title holder beaten by a MW) etc?

    Each their own I guess, but I can't agree.

    I don't think Mayweather has fought that many champions. But this back and forth is going to get us nowhere.

    I am gonna go watch LeBron.

    I can live with that. I just believe Jones took alot of easy fights between 98 and 02. I feared PBF was heading down that path too but he redeemed himself as of late

    kg ... lets keep it funky ...

    lets just put the two at the same age and rate their accomplishments from there.

    at the age of 32 ... Roy was the undisputed LHW champion and had the same amount of fights as PBF .... he also had a L on his record and 3 division championship ... great !!

    but Floyd has 5 weight divisions w/ the same amount of title fights, no vacant titles - beat all reigning champions for his championships. Roy has fought for 2 vacant belts.

    Sweet Pea ... 18 championship fights and also a loss on his record and 2 weight divisions ...
