Is Floyd Mayweather an ATG?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Someone here recently asked 'What style has Floyd not fought?'

And I went and did some research and found that Floyd had only ONCE fought:

A p4p top 10 guy either in his prime and/ or at their current weight at the time of the fight:

And the list of fighters that he didn't, included:

Shane Mosley
Oscar De La Hoya
Kostya Tszyu
Ricky Hatton
Manny Pacquiao
Miguel Cotto
Juan Manuel Marquez
Saul Alverez
Timothy Bradley
Naseem Hamed

The only top 10 P4P guy he fought, while in their prime and in their weight class was Diego Corrales.

No surprise then that to this day, that win is regarded as his best win.

Again, I'm not saying that he wouldn't beat those guys under the conditions mentioned above, I'm just stating the fact that he didn't/ hasn't.

Hence, why I say he has managed his career exceptionally well.

Fuck it, good for him. I applaud him for it. He has done everything at the right time. He even admits it himself... Look, this game is about putting your life on the line, just to put food on the table for your kids. If you can get control over your career and call the shots on what you do, when you do it, who you do it with, under what conditions and make everybody believe that you are the best ever to do it, then bloody well done. Seriously, no hate but truth be told.
