Why not ?? he is probably one the best defensive fighters of all time probably even better than Pernell Whitaker P4P Mayweather has speed, power, he has won 5 World titles in 5 different weight divisions not even the great Sugar Ray Robinson achieved that just because he isn't to everyones taste he is without a doubt the best Welterweight out there.
Floyd compared to Armstrong, Robinson, Basilio, Leonard and Duran is like blasphemy to boxing. I'm lost with words. This topic is not even debatable.
It is ?? well Mayweather is arguably a better fighter than all of these fighters P4P Duran was great Lightweight but when he moved up he lost to mediocre fighters like Robbie Simms and was completey outboxed by British Kirkland Laing, no doubt his victory over Leonard was great win but thats only because Duran called Leonard a pussy and Leonard got lured into a brawl in the 1st fight but when Leonard boxed his normal style he completey outboxed Duran and forced Duran to quit in the rematch and Leonard won the trilogy easily aswell Duran never quite made it when he moved up he also struggled with fast fighters and was made to look only goodish when he fought clever fast fighters and it showed when he was completey outboxed by Kirkland Laing.
Ray Robinson didn't even win as many world titles in as many divisions as Mayweather and Robinson's opposition is questionable at Welterweight name me one fighter he beat at Welterweight that stands out ??
Carmen Basilio 56 wins 27 KO 16 losses not a great record by any means he went 1-1 with Robinson which is good but Robinson was also 37 and it was obvisious he wasn't in his prime anymore except for going 1-1 with an aging Robinson who else did he beat that was really any good ?? sounds like he was one hit wonder.
Leonard ?? please the guy who ducked Aaron Pryor and moved up in weight to avoid Pryor ?? the guy who got gift decision against Hagler when Hagler was shot ?? or the guy who only fought Hearns in a rematch when he see Hearns get KO by Iran Barkley when he thought Hearns was shot and Leonard got a gift decision against Hearns Leonard was dropped twice by a shot Hearns and was outboxed in majority of the rounds basically Hearns was totally robbed.
Mayweather only ever had one close decision and revenged it by giving Castillo a boxing lesson Mayweather is the true Welterweight champion he even moved up to a weight division he never fought in to fight Oscar at 154 he is now facing the man who beat Kostya Tszyu aka Ricky Hatton the same Tszyu who was ducked by great fighters like Oscar and Mosley.
And compare the Welterweight division today against other eras and your find that there are more quality fighters in this Welterweight era than any others excpet 90s lets test shall we ??
Mayweather's era
Paul Williams
Miguel Cotto
Shane Mosley
Antonio Margarito
Kermit Cintron
Ricky Hatton
Zab Judah
Andre Berto
Joshua Clottey
Leonards era
Hearns
Benitez
Duran
Robinson's era
Nobodys if you can find a name that stands out let me know.
There are more quality fighters in Mayweather's Welterweight era than in any other Welterweight era ever the only other era which has as many quality fighters as Mayweather's Welterweight era is the 90s surely you must agree with that ??
