He beat JMM over 12 rounds, but i don't think that was an overly impressive performance. He basically just used his advantages like his reach and size ETC.

JMM struggled at Lightweight so obviously he wasn't going to look, impressive at Welterweight. So im not really sold on that fight at all, it was a mismatch and all Floyd Mayweather Jr did was pot-shot here and there.

Against Ricky Hatton he won a majority of the rounds, but again i still don't think he looked overly impressive. He had a few problems early, and as i said even though he won a majority of the rounds.

Up until the KO it mostly a messy fight with alot of holding. Plus remember Ricky Hatton isn't as effective at Welterweight.

Especially when you compare what Manny Pacquiao done to Ricky Hatton, at his own weightclass Jr Welterweight.

The ODLH fight was at Jr Middleweight so i can't fault him for that, but even against Carlos Baldomir. I wasn't blown away with his performance either.

I think his last great performance was against Arturo Gatti, and his last threat was against ODLH or maybe Jose Luis Castillo.

Maybe im being too harsh here, but its just something's i've noticed.

I mean we could easily say the same about Shane Mosley, regarding some of his performance. But he still pulled them out in exciting fashion, like against Ricardo Mayorga.

I still think he has the speed and power, to trouble Floyd Mayweather Jr. And i honestly don't think Floyd Mayweather Jr has fought a legit threat at Welterweight yet either.
I normally value your posts, cause they're usually quality, but i think this post is due to the fact that there is NOTHING else to talk about.

Mayweather looked ridiculously sharp against marquez.. you said he used his advantages of size, etc.. but it's not like he was just absolutely the bigger puncher and battered marquez.. not even close.. he was the same mayweather.. Against Hatton, with Hatton's style, he did have a bit of adapting to do at the beginning and it wasn't pretty, but by round 6ish, Floyd was winking to his corner when Hatton was holding him, it wasn't even close..

as far as Oscar, it wasn't like Roy Jones went toe to toe for 12 rounds with John Ruiz at heavyweight.. you can't expect someone who started near 130 to fight at 154, coming into the fight around 149-150, and not use his 'advantages' in speed and evading.. I think that the Oscar fight was scored closer than it actually was, but Floyd was clearly fighting the bigger man and didn't do a LOT in the fight, but plenty enough to impress me and the judges.
