like all the fighters you mentioned as well. minus cory spinks. can't stand him for some reason.

being a slick boxer isn't the only way to be top of the p4p. pacquiao is right there at #2 and a lot of people favor him over mayweather. de la hoya was never a "slick" boxer either when he was on top.

mayweather likes to throw down and embarass an oppenent when he knows he can exploit them...
gatti, baldomir, shamba mitchell

has to be a lot more technical when fighting the likes of de la hoya, judah.

tried to throw down the 1st time he fought castillo. (which the majority thinks castillo won)... but mayweather learned his lesson, gave him the rematch and them took him to school with the science. not trying to knock pretty boy, cause that's boxing... but that's why people tend to lack a bit of respect for him. (IMO)
