List 10 fighters with a better resume than Floyd Mayweather

[hugh grant]

When it comes to Floyd, everyone he missed is a duck.

When it comes to Manny, let's say, no one mentions Zahir Raheem for instance. Or the fact that he lost at every level to opponents of all levels.

Well it kinda is a duck if Floyd misses someone. Because Floyd says he fought jmm as jmm called him out. But when Sergio or GGG calls him out he goes AWOL.

PAC didn't have to fight zahir as there are plenty of people for PAC to fight and PAC fought regularly.
The fact that Floyd was fighting once every 18 months he was basically doing a lot of ducking

from 2005-2008 manny fought at 130-135

guys like Freitas, Julio Diaz were still around, casamayor was lineal from 06-08

crawford called out manny, plenty of fighters have.....is he ducking them?


Manny fought Diaz, the weakest titleholder at the time at 135 when there was Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell, Juan Manuel Marquez, Raheem beat Morales first,


so either its a duck, or cherrypicking for a belt right? David Diaz was the worst of the bunch

PAC was fighting regularly. Fighting jmm, then David Diaz onto dlh Clearly noit ducking or cherry picking. But PACs cherry poick was more of a breather until his next tough opponent. But cherrypicking certainly wasn't a word attributed to PAC at that time. It isn't now as well, but some desperate people try rewriting their own history
Don't compare oac to Floyd nobodies buying it

[RED REP]

No one
Berto, Pacquaio, Maidana(2X), Canelo, Gurrero, Cotto, Ortiz, Mosley, Marquez, Hatton, De La Hoya, Baldomir, Gatti, Judah, N'Dou, Castillo (2X), Corrales, Manfredy, and Hernandez

Harry Greb, Sam Langford, Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Ezzard Charles, Ray Leonard, Jimmy McLarnin, Tony Canzoreni...

The list is endless! Floyd has a top 25 CV.

Joe Louis????no...just no Archie Moore????why??? Pacquiao is debatable but the tie was broken when Floyd beat him IMO

You think Floyd has a better resume than Archie Moore?

[soul_survivor]

This thread was all made because I named 30 people with a better resume than Floyd Mayweather lol.

You're right on the style that you beat your opponent people are counting the Castillo and Maidana wins as really good wins but in the eyes of most he lost the first encounter with both he tends to rematch guys he believes he lost to and he 100% did lose to Castillo the Maidana fight I believe Maidana did enough by 2 or 3 rounds Floyd just got outworked and bullied about the ring.

I dunno... sure in his lower weight divisions he generally did put on a better showing he'd at times get his man out of there but very seldomly did he ever stop a very. very good fighter actually has he ever stopped a good fighter?
Very debatable.

Style wise he is safe and boring to watch hence why I honestly believe Rocky Marciano needs to be rated above him I admit I do compare Floyd and Rocky but not in terms of skill or style but the fact that they did both fight past best opponents but Rocky clearly was fighting with adversity his entire career and he managed to win with style give the fans a show and nevertheless he KOed some very great fighters who had size and reach over him.

if you named those 30 than why has he still started the thread? lol

Yeah, the way you beat a great fighter enhances greatness. Pacquiao knocked out genuine greats...Mayweather never even knocked out a genuinely top, elite fighter.

Anyway, this is a dead argument and been done so many times and people like him disproved again and again.

you dont have to "buy" anything....proof is in the pudding

top rank cherry picked the weakest titlist at 135 ....david diaz

and they cherrypicked a rusty Margarito, coming of a sluaghter tko loss and a flat performance vs a club fighter

that sir is clear cherrypicking....get out of your feelings and see things for what it was

Casamyor, Marquez, Freitas, Julio Diaz, Nate Campbell, and Juan Diaz were all top lightweights and held titles in that era,.,,,top rank chose Diaz

also they didnt remarch marquez at 135, they got the old man at ww, thinking he'd slowed and was there for the taking, he proved them wrong in fight 3 and 4....cherrypicks gone wrong


manny was a great fighter but he was never the fighter his die hard fanatics and the media tried to make him out to be, which was the best of the generation and fighter of the decade bwahahhahahahahaha.....how was he fighter of the decade when he lost in the decade, drew with Marquez...he was the most popular but he wasnt the best...Mayweather was, folks just wanted the guy to disappear...sucks for you, manny will be remembered as second best and nothing is wrong with that

Bhop not long before fighting Joe Calzaghe beat Tarver, Winky and some argue he should have been the first one to beat J.Taylor he by all means was a late bloomer who came on very strong in the last portion of his career perhaps because he wasn't as heavily reliant on speed like guys such as Mosley and Pacquiao.

Allow someone else to go into detail about why Floyd's resume isn't as good as it's being made out to be his resume from 130-135 certainly doesn't **** over Joe's.



What shocks me more is the fact Joe had a world title for so god damn long at 168 yet no Yank from 1997 all the way to 2006 wanted to do anything about it say what you want about Jeff Lacy but he had more balls to go for this fight than James Toney and all the other guys that are so highly rated.

Roy Jones Jr fighting Joe wasn't really possible since Roy moved to 175 not long after Joe won a world title
James Toney fighting Joe not capable because James was a lazy fighter who instead of staying in shape and down at realistic weight classes he'd rather bloat up to a fat balloon.

Joe for his time from being a champion at 168 he fought good opponents Richie Woodhall, Robin Reid, Bhop, Kessler, B.Mitchell when you think of it the only person he really never fought that I think he should have fought was Sven Ottke but it's not his fault that Roy Jones and J.Toney decided to move up.

It literally does. Floyd's resume at 130-135 alone is better than Calzaghe's and it's not even that close either.

I'm not suprised that it shocks you that Calzaghe kept his belt that long but in reality he kept that belt that long because the WBO wasn't even considered a legitimate world title until like 2005 or something so no on cared about his paper title because it wasn't even really considered to be a real title.

Woodhall and Mitchell And you try and crisitize Floyd's opposition????

Calzaghe beat 3 fighters ranked in the top 5 in his entire career. Fact. A fact that speaks for itself.

I agree that Camacho is criminally underrated. He has maybe the fastest hands Ive ever seen, had a great skill set, was southpaw, and was humiliating people.

People never look at context. In 20 years, people are going to be like Floyds best win was Deigo Coralles? Isn't that the guy that was in that war with that other guy that beat Floyd?

You think people will remember Maidana, or Guerrero?

Camacho was beating legit opponents, and its surprising how easily Chavez beat him. That fight always baffled me. I just can't wrap my head around how Chavez managed to stay right infront of someone with legs like Camacho.

In 20 years time people will say Floyd was an undefeated 13 time 5 weight world champion, who beat a long list of HOF'ers, 10 #1 ranked fighters in the divison fought in and 7 P4P top 10 fighters.

Quick, name me 10 #1 rated fighters from lightweight to Welterweight from 1982 -1990 by year. And no consulting boxrec.
