Did Mayweather really dominate all the divisions he was champion in?

[IMDAZED]

i'm trying to think back on when freitas and casamayor started getting ranked #3 and 4 in the division. was it 2000? or later?

i know they moved up to #2 and 3 after diego loss and went away.

do you know the story of the talks between freitas and casa against floyd?

i don't remember the details on possible fights with them.

Nah man, Freitas-Casamayor came during the tail end of Floyd's reign. Like YEARS after he first picked up the title. As far as negotiations, I remember Freitas never mentioning Floyd by name while Floyd jumped up and down screaming for a fight in the media, even offering to go to Brazil. When he realized a fight wouldn't materialize, he moved up a couple months later and fought...Castillo.

no way!!! mayweather ducked tzsyu at 140,& cotto,margarito,williams&cintron @ 147
P U S S Y !!!!!!!!

floyd actually pursued a 140 fight with kostya.

by the time floyd was looking for a fight with tszyu , tszyu was in talks with hatton. kostya chose to fight hatton instead because at the time hatton was more money than floyd.

floyd could have gotten a fight sooner with kostya but he took a few tuneups at 140 first and fought gatti for his belt first.

Let's start at 130......

He beat Genaro Hernandez for his 130 belt in 1998. He was 130 champion from 1998-2002.

In those 4 years or so he only fought 2 top ranked super featherweights.

Genaro when he beat him for the title and Diego Corrales who was ranked #2 behind him and in some years ranked #1 above him.

For a couple of years there Joel Casamayor and Acelino Freitas was ranked right there behind Floyd Mayweather and obviously fights with those 2 were never made.

Would you consider Floyd's run at 130 dominant or considered it cleaning out the division?

right before floyd moved up i don't remember what post fight it was but he said Joel Casamayor and other big names were avoiding him

[Danny Gunz]

When you are moving up in divisions as fast as mayweather you dont really have the time to clean them out just to beat the top guy in the division.

Either way i still think Mayweather has a bad resume and did not fight the fights he needed

[fcastro1]

all his talk of greatness but he never really proved it in terms of matchups. zoo was 2nd p4p and they never fought. cotto champ at 140-147 never fought, mosely a great champ never fought. their are so many great fighters he coud have fought to cement his claim to being the greatest.

he obviousley didnt persue it enough! sounds like a big DUCK!! to me!

[S.G.]

I think he definitely dominated 130 and probably 135 too

The rest... Nah

Although I suppose it depends on your definition of dominating a division

another biased dip****.

how come hatton DUCKED floyd at 140 after the gatti fight saying he needed more "experience"
