Some excellent points Killersheep and Caleoh. I'm not hating on Mayweather but it boils down to this:
the real WW champ did not defend the real title against a single,top 10,legit WW in boxings hottest division.
Lokk at the above sentence. That's not even right! There is absolutely no doubt he is one of the most talented fighters ever and i have said it time and time again,Mayweather at 130/35 could fight all the ATG's at that weight but,140 and ESPECIALLY 147,he's lacking.
Wins over Hatton and Oscar are excellent wins,absolutely no denying that whatsoever. However,it leaves a sour taste when you think how hot 147 was at the time.The Oscar fight is cool,gave him another paper title in anopther weight class. The Hatton fight though, was a few years late and Hatton would struggle with the best10-12 WW's imo.
