1.Having a great resume is dependent upon having great opponents

2.Mayweather could of fought Margarito or Williams or Cotto or Hatton(at 140) in 2008-2009, all would of been great wins over prime pound for pound level opponents but choose to take a 2 year vacation and come back to fight a guy who he made move up 2 weight class and then didn't even make the weight himself

Not surprisingly you can't see the difference between live real champions like Mulinga and Virgil Hill vs past prime opponents like Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley

1. They look great when he doesn't make them look bad.

2. Worst. Argument. Ever.

Please tell at what weight and during what calendar year would Ricky Hatton have given Mayweather a fight. They fought, dude. Mayweather beat that arse. Mayweather is threee years older.

He just beat Cotto. Who is four years younger than him. Why would Mayweather taking a break serve as an advantage against a guy who is younger than him? Did Mayweather not age?

I won't discuss Margarito who Mayweather would destroy even if he had titanium in his gloves (which he might of)

3. Are you talking to me? You'll need to explain the context of what you're saying in the last sentenc or how it is a rebuttal to something I've previously said. And you'll also need to remind me how old Cotto is.

Floyd made Hatton look bad but its still not a very good win considering Hatton was an average sized 140 moving up to welterweight.

Floyd didn't make Cotto look bad, everyone knew Cotto was well past it just look at the guys he has fought since getting obliterated by Pacquiao.

Mosley was a 38 year old who was coming off 16 months of inactivity and has looked like absolute crap in every fight since.

De La Hoya was a part time fighter at best who had one meaningless fight in 3 years leading up to fighting Floyd. I don't blame Floyd at all for fighting Oscar its the reason Floyd became a star.

Same goes for Judah, Baldomir, Ndou, Chop Chop Corley, and every one of Floyd's opponents since Castillo. That is the difference between Floyd's opponents and Roy's. Roy's opponents(Hill, Malinga, Johnson) had great wins/performances before and after they fought Roy.

Mayweather could of fought Hatton in 2005 when they were the top 2 light welterweights in the world or he could of fought him when he did but not made Hatton move up in weight. As for Margarito, Floyd was offered a career best pay day to fight him but instead choose to fight Judah and Baldomir for less money.
