In what WeightClass & Percentage of PBF career will "YOU" judge FLOYD MAYWEATHER???

[Horus]

But i like your argument and it makes sense. Why people continue to base Floyds career at Welterweight is beyond me and beyond intelligence.

In that case base SRL's resume at Light Heavyweight, Durans at Light heavy, etc etc.

Floyd is top 30 ATG at the moment and in the following years he'll move up.

Double standards....


somebody in here said I will judge floyd from what he did when he became p4p#1 and on....
ok thats fine...

So my question is are you going to do that for Pacquaio?
if not then it proves people hold unreasonable double standards

[BattlingNelson]

So basically you're awarding 6 Fighter of the Year awards for 2007? Ha! See what I mean, nonsense.

When talking FOTY, people generally refer to Ring ****zine, or at least one awarding body. You don't sc**** the barrel and count 6 FOTY award from 1 year

Yeah some skewed logic to say the least. By that standard I guess Ali and Frazier produced the fight of the year some 117 times.....

Sometimes I'm embarrased to be a Floyd fan.

Roberto Duran is one of the greatest lightweights of all time
He has had what 119 fights…
But he also fought 27 fights above 135
Meaning that’s 4.4 % of his career he didn’t fight at Lightweight or under lightweight
Here is the question when history Judges Duran do you think the historians are going to judge him on 96.1 % on his career or on that 4.4% ????

Alexis Arguello is one of the greatest Superfeather Weights of all time he has had 90 fights but 10 of them were at 135 and up… meaning 9%...
Here is the question again when history Judges Arguello do you think the historians are going to judge him on 91% on his career or on that 9%????

Sugar Ray Leonard is one of the greatest WelterWeights of all time he has had 40 total fights
But 8 fights were above 147 meaning 5%
Here is the question again when history Judges Leonard do you think the historians are going to judge him on 95 % on his career or on that 5%????

Now We Have
Floyd Mayweather who is the one of the greatest Superfeather Weights of all time he has had 39 fights in which 31 Fights at 140 and under and 8 fights at 154 and under which is 4.8%
Once again Here is the question again when history Judges Mayweather do you think the historians are going to judge him on 95.2 % on his career or on that 4.8%????

I would hope that answer to my question from all you guys, would be that history will judge these fighters on what they did with the majority of their career..but if not

This is what I am talking about when I speak on double standards….No other fighter is judge on a fraction of his career like Mayweather is…. Should a big part of Roberto Duran career be base on his loses to William Joppy, Hector Camacho, or Robbie Sims at middleweight when he fought most of his career at lightweight????
Of Course Not.


So In what WeightClass & Percentage of PBF career will "YOU" judge FLOYD MAYWEATHER???

Man, are you REALLY throwing in percentages of where Floyd had most of his fights? LOL what does this prove?

It's a natural progression for fighters to move up in weight as their careers continue. Some guys stay within a few pounds, some keep moving up. Floyd spent a good amount of time at Superfeather, but he was a virtual nobody to the masses. He moved up in weight and continued to show improvement and learned to be patient and became a very intelligent fighter.

But the way you're making it seem is that he's not built to fight at Welterweight, otherwise you wouldn't make a thread about percentages of time in a certain division and where he excelled. That's like being the bully of your school and you fight a bunch of kids you know you can beat and once someone on your level (height, weight, etc) comes and tests you you're no where to be found.

So in too many words, you're basically sayin Floyd ain't built like that to fight a Cotto or Shane and he peaked as a fighter at 135 lbs. Floyd ain't 45 years old, he's still in prime condition and can fight competitively at WW, he just chooses not to. Nothing more, nothing less.

His most impressive wins didn't even come at Superfeatherweight (Corrales & Castillo II)

Please quote me, dont say basically and say what i inteneded to say just quote me....!!

because if you quote me you would realize i do not come to any such conclution...

like i told you in the other thread
Floyd is closer to Pacquaio and Hatton rather then Floyd vs. 98% of the Welterweight Division...

Now Proved How I am wrong?
You can say he is a prime welterweight..because he was or is in his prime and his last division was welterweight..but compared to other welterweight in the division... Mayweather is small...

If Mayweather Has grown into a Natural WW, What Have the Other Fighters who have been in the WW division Grown into if that is their 1st or 2nd Division..?
or
do you think that Mayweather is the only fighter who Grows in the Division?


Name 1 welterweight floyd is bigger then??

See the problem is people got used to floyd fighting bigger fighters all the time, that when he fights somebody his own size or smaller therE is now a problem...

How come people dont say Paul Williams vs. Floyd is a mismatch
But people will say Floyd vs. JMM is a mismatch??

Paul Started at 160
Floyd started at 130 (where he spent 69% of his career)
JMM started at 126

Floyd has spent less then 10% of his career fighting above 140...less then 10%

So You tell me who is closer in size....

I can do that with the whole Welterweight division not just Paul...
maybe it is pointless trying to get you too see the point...but that is the point.

What is the problem with Floyd fighting fighters who are the same size as him or smaller then him???

why does floyd have to be at a disadvantage in order for it to be a fair fight???


Why is ok for Floyd to fight a fighter coming from 160 but not a fighter coming from 130....? when floyd came from 130??
or any division close to 130?

[JAB5239]

Yeah some skewed logic to say the least. By that standard I guess Ali and Frazier produced the fight of the year some 117 times.....

Lmao!! Classic!!!

[Horus]

So now Floyd, was tthe one who brought the Money. hahahahaah! GTFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why dont you put that quote into context..

I said:

Oscar Fought Floyd to Enhance his Legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday
SRL fought Hagler to Enhance his legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday
Ricky Hatton fought to Floyd to Enhance his Legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday
Oscar fought Tito to Enhance his Legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday
SRL fought Hearns to Enhance his Legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday

So if Floyd fought Cotto, It would Enhance His legecy to what...?

"Greatest of His Generation"....?
-Guess What?

He already is


So why should Floyd listen to guys like Margarito,Williams,Cotto calling him out, if they dont Enhance his Legacy And Get him Lucrative Payday ..?

Like Floyd did for Oscar

I don't know Horus i agree with you to some point sir. For instance I will say this take Miguel Cotto for a example he fought his way through 140 and was the Champ down there but he faced much better competition at 147 in Judah, Mosley and Margarito. There might be a fighter who fights at junior Welter Weight his early days and we all know most fighters stay more active in their early days but moves up in wieght later on and captures a title at a higher weight calss defends that title and faces tougher competition at that weight...I will say this i agree with you to some point and for most instances....Lefty

[UnDeniable]

Sometimes I'm embarrased to be a Floyd fan.

Don't be

The haters cancel out the nuthuggers to the point where Floyd is judged how he should be judged

Top 50 ATG
Most skilled fighter of his generation
5 weight division champ while going unbeaten

In saying that, If Manny beats Hatton, he surpasses Floyd as the best fighter of the generation

That would prove that Manny could beat a credible opponent above 130
