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

I'd say Whitaker and, quite frankly, that wasn't much of a "win."
I do, however, agree that Mayweather's belts above 135 were just as paper. But it's a question of when, not who and Floyd surpasses Oscar there. Not to mention he didn't lose almost all his big fights.

Floyd- Hernandez at 130, Castillo at 135
Oscar. Whitaker at 147, Vargas at 154, Sturm at 160
The thing I was trying to say is that Floyd didnt fought the best comp he could. But I admit that he dominated everybody he fought, except for maybe castillo, but somebody will give you a tough fight sometime so!!!!!!!!

I think the most impressive thing about floyd's accomplishments is the ease of which he has beaten most fighters.
Problem is that when you look at his resume his best wins are against oscar and hatton, and oscar was past his prime. Hatton is not on the level of a prime mosley or prime de la hoya, he is flawed. I think most people would agree that floyd has never fought a truly great fighter in his prime with little weaknesses, no matter what weight division it was in he has not faced a fighter like I describe. He still has time though and hopefully he wil do this otherwise I think he'l leave a legacy of what if's? Similar to roy jones, although in my opinion floyd is not that good

Oscar was never the man in any division, maybe 154 briefly when he beat Vargas and even that's debateable.
shame. that could have been his most defining victory.

he beat some of the top fighters in those divisions but he never intended to dominate the 140 or 154 divisions. He just wanted to get a fight with DLH and his whole career was built towards that. He vowed to avenge his uncles loss to dlh ever since he became pro. I think he would have focused his career more on the 130 and 135 divisions had he not had a goal of fighting dlh.
