The list of greats Mayweather beat before the age of 35 is too long to count.
If you count the losses Ali and Mayweather are pretty close, but I give the edge to Mayweather.

Nelson fought a prime Salvador Sanchez and he came in with like, ten fights. He nearly won, too. He faced a prime Pernell Whitaker. He lost but he still fought him. No excuses. No complaining about money/concessions whatever. He just fought him and didn't do too bad IMO.
Morales fought prime Barrera. Then he fought him in two rematches. He didn't bat an eye. He fought Pac in 2005 and beat him. Not 2015- 2005 when Pac was rolling over one opponent after another and at 130 where he was much more dangerous.
Whitaker fought everybody in his era and many of them at their best. He won most of the time. He faced a 87-0 Chavez and of course, won in most people's eyes. He beat a prime Nelson. He faced young hungry lions in De La Hoya and Trinidad. He faced a beast in Trinidad and was not a natural welterweight. Now that's balls, my friend.
And titles? Well, we know those aren't worth that much these days. It's all about the prime elite fights you fought. How many prime elite guys did he fight?
Mayweather himself stated that he was smart about who he fought. Well, that's great, but it doesn't show courage- not the kind of courage those guys had.
And I do admit, Camacho was a stretch. Haha. He did face a young Trinidad, young DLH and a prime Chavez, though.
Camacho is underrated All time and imo in the late 80s, he and michael nunn were the best p4p...Mike Mccallum not too far behind.
so fighting genaro hernandez at 21 years old and 17 fights didnt show courage?
castillo was a welterweight both fights, that didnt take courage?
he can say whatever he wants...he proved himself in the ring......by age 30, he was 5 division title holder 3 were lineal, now he has 4 lineal
fighting from 130-154 at 5'8" and 72" reach didnt show courage?
everyone has a preference and it takes courage to get in the ring, period, especially vs world class pros.
sure he didnt fight all of his best opponents in their prime, no one has, and many of those fights, he was the older fighter, past prime. does he get credit for that?
who else has 49 fights or less with a resume like his? I'll wait....
Mayweather fought more top 5 opponents in his career, than any fighter in recent history....thats not up for debate....Pac, Maidana, Judah, Baldomir, Canelo, JMM, Hatton, Castillo, Corrales, Hernandez, Cotto, DLH, Mosley, Gatti were all top 5 or a world champion when they fought him.
not to mention the top ten contenders he beat
