    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?
    No mention of Hatton?

    Havent you heard

    Hatton is now officially an average, washed up fighter after his close shave 120-108 win against lazcano.

    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

    I am not Floyd fan, but i respect his tremendous skill and talent. That being said...i think his resume is extremely weak for someone who claims they are the best fighter of all time. Maybe he is a victim of circumstance: the past few years don't match up with the era of Duran, Hearns, Hagler, or Leonard. Maybe he has cherry picked his opponents in recent years. Or maybe it's a combination of both these things. But ultimately...the three biggest names on his resume (and by biggest i mean the fighters that have brought him the most attention and praise) are Gatti, Oscar, and Hatton. He certainly has fought some quality opposition aside from these three...but it is these three fighters that are the BIG names on his resume. Gatti was perfectly selected for Floyd. Literally a fighter who Floyd could treat like a punching bag. Hatton, for all of his spirit, was physically too small and one dimensional for Floyd. This leaves Oscar. Sure, Oscar wasn't in his prime when he fought Floyd. But i still give Floyd credit for fighting a bigger fighter and puncher than him. Does this make Floyd's win over DelaHoya an incredible and defining victory...not really. Floyd's resume is simply solid. It's not great and it certainly isn't all time great. Maybe the last few fight of his career might change that.
