No announcement yet.
Is Mayweather's 2007-2015 run of consecutive opponents the best ever?!?!?

Zab Judah: Fight should've happened years earlier, but didn't because they were friends. Supposedly a heated sparring match ended their friendship. Wouldn't have been as bad if he beat Baldie. A lot of people still had faith in Judah back then and didn't want to accept how limited he really was (myself included).
Baldomir: Not a good fight. Upset against a limited fighter who crumbles under pressure. Should've fought Fartarito instead though in hindsight, it's better he didn't because of the funny wraps.
Oscar de la hoya: Good win though DLH was past prime and relatively inactive. Career wise however it was brilliant.
Ricky Hatton: Good win. While Hatton was better at 140, it's not Floyd's fault. Hatton's team did not want the fight when Floyd was at 140
Marquez: Turds, moved up two weight classes.
Mosley: Good but kind of iffy. One the one hand Mosley was old but on the other, he obliterated Marga****** one year earlier.
Ortiz: You gotta be shitting me....
Cotto: Good win. Cotto's team did not want the fight at 140. Wish it would've happened at 147 in 2008, but I firmly believe Floyd would've won at any weight.
Guerrero: More turds, filler fight.
Canelo: A bit green and at a catchweight. I don't know how much of a difference those two pounds made but it just makes Floyd look bad.
Maidana (Twice): Not a bad fight. Only reason there was a rematch was because Maidana made the first fight very competitive.
Pacquiao: Great win even though it should've happened years earlier (Not opening up that can).
Berto: Best win any fighter has ever had in the history of boxing. This alone should put Floyd as HOF TBE!

I'm not saying he has the best resume ever. The point of this thread is that floyd went on a run of consecutively fighting other champions, P4P ranked opposition, and/or Hall of famers. What other run of consecutive opposition can compare????
No one, TBE is USA and USA is TBE

Oscar's '95- '99 run was similar-
John-John Molina
Rafael Ruelas
Genaro Hernandez (Younger, fesher version)
Jesse James Leija
Darryl Tyson
Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr.
Miguel Angel Gonzalez
Pernell Whitaker
David Kamau
Hector Camacho
Wilfredo Rivera
Patrick Charpentier
Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr. rematch
Ike Quartey
He also won ten of these by stoppage.
It's a good run by Floyd but I don't see that it's that exceptional.
I mean, Judah? Who didn't beat Judah when he stepped up?
Guerrero had no significant wins at 147.
It's good but not the best run ever. If so, then the sport hasn't produced much.
