      Tito
      Chavez Sr

      I could go on and on.

      Mayweather has a very good resume but there are better ones out there. However, ranking someone historically isnt just based on who you faced but also when you faced them and how you beat them. Mayweather lags behind in those categories.
      u can go on and on with people who don't officially have better records then mayweather........anyone can do that.


      Robinson
      Holyfield
      Duran
      Moore
      Armstrong

      are correct.


      chavez sr is debatable......Pacquiao NO. Barrera NO. hagler NO. tito NO. heans & charles is debatable.


      so u named 5.

        Pac has Barrera, Morales, Bradley and Marg, along with all the common opponents he shares with Mayweather. So yes, his resume is better. I will not argue on that as it's pointless.

        And if you think beating Baldomir or Judah is better than beating Frazier and Ali then you're going down a slippery slope where even the likes of larry and rustydan wont follow.

        Bye.

          lol

          morales after Raheem beat him and at 130 where he looked severly unhealthy and requested a catch weight



          margarita after a long lay off, ko loss, and looking like crap vs a club fighter prior

          barrera was the best win out of these considering he was actually looking good and on a career resurgent roll


          just cause you want it to be better, doesn't mean it is

          here are the facts

          1)tied for most lineal titles in history

          2) mayweather has almost 3 times the championship fight wins

          3) double the title defenses

          4)beat more champions

          5) has the head to head win

          ...so how can many have the better resume, please explain

                I disagree with the bolded, but otherwise, great post. Well said. Agree completely otherwise.

                  bro I watched the fights

                  he got outclassed vs Raheem, who isn't even considered a great fighter

                  I remember Morales requesting a catchweight, he couldn't make 130 anymore

                  it didn't happen, pac got the weight he wanted, 130 and the gloves he wanted, ironically his die hard fans bring up the mayweather v maidana debacle

                  but after morales beat him, the excuses were the gloves, leg cramps and drug testing weakening him.....I didn't make this stuff up, I was following the sport back then

                  it was clear Morales was past prime with his last few performances before manny beat him, he had a lot of wars

                    so beating champions and winning titles don't matter now.....


                    9/10 if you are consistently fighting for titles and fighting current or former champions you are fighting some of the best in your division

                    of course guys like Burns who isn't elite , can slip in a title win, but its short lived and its usually because the opponent was not a top fighter to begin with.
