    I hate to be the spoiler in all of this but Oscar De La Hoya has the best resume in boxing. Floyd is also known for picking the weakest link in the divisions title holders to accomplish his championship victory. I also do not think Floyd has faced another title holder for a unification bout in his career.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr's best opponent's are Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo and Oscar De La Hoya. His other big champions were

    Zab Judah after Judah lost to Carlos Baldomir
    Arturo Gatti- A shot Arturo Gatti that Oscar beat 4 years earlier and 1 round sooner.
    Demarcus Corley on his down slide.
    Genaro Hernandez- Oscar beat him 3 years earlier and 2 rounds sooner
    Angel Manfredy- No feather in the cap there. A long past his best Jorge Paez and Gatti were his claims to fame.
    Jose Luis Castillo- Everyone knows the first fight was a gift.

    Top names De La Hoya has faced.
    Jimmy Bredahl, Jorge Paez, John John Molina, Rafael Ruelas, Genaro Hernandez (Before Floyd did), Jessie James Leija, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Ike Quartey, Felix Trinidad, Shane Mosley, Arturo Gatti, Javier Castillejo, Fernando Vargas, Yori Boy Campos, Felix Sturm, Ricardo Mayorga, Bernard Hopkins, Steve Forbes and Floyd Himeslf. Also add the top contenders he has beaten and you have maybe one of the best resumes in the history of the sport. Also many of these guys were on the pound for pound list when De La Hoya faced them.

    I am not saying that Floyd is not a great fighter but resume wise De La Hoya takes the prize hands down. Yes he is undefeated but is he really undefeated against the absolute best the sport and each of his perspective divisions had to offer?

    Hopkins had a relatively easy reign at Middle and his best wins are against blown up Welterweights. Great fighter, but his opposition is nowhere near the likes of De La Hoya

    Superheavyrhun did an interesting post a while back to objectively rate all the champs according srtictly to stats, maybe he could dig it up, it was a very good read. Bottom line was that Floyd was on top with his +/- and ODLH has tasted defeat. Floyd's resume is much better than most people will give him credit for, but his inactivity and distractions from boxing are making me lose some respect for him as a boxer. I can certainly respect someone that's chasing dollars, it's hard for me to hold that against him, but when it takes away from him fighting who he needs to fight it becomes an issue for me.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    The fact that 2 judges scored it 120-108 for Hatton shows they were in the pocket. No matter how many knock downs Lazcano would of scored he was going to win

    Either way you look at it Floyd has an amazing resume and certainly does not deserve the stick he gets.

    Lazcano won 3 rounds. Only Hatton groupies and those corrupt judges thought Lazcano got shut out
