He preffered a Cotto that had just been obliterated by Margarito and beaten up by Clottey.

Roach has admitted to not wanting Mosley or Margarito at that time because they weren't "shot" like Oscar was in their fight.

Mosley was ready for war after he trashed Margy and Pac ran away

Your Papa Roach admits this.

They're both very solid wins. Mayweather's win over Mosley gets a slight edge though. You're comparing a win over a guy who spent a decade on P4P lists and was fighting in popular money divisions to a win over a guy who has only fought outside of Japan like 4 or 5 times and is in a meaningless division.

I guarantee if Pacquiao had fought Mosley in 2009 and beat him convincingly, and Mayweather had beaten Cotto in May 2010, I 100% guarantee you Flomo's would do everything in your power to claim Mayweathers win was a better victory.

All the excuses in the book-
Mosley was washed up, Mosley victory over Margarito meant nothing because Marg has been fighting dirty for years, Cotto already beat Mosley so Cotto is clearly the better fighter....blah blah blah

The lack of money in those divisions is proof enough that not many people care about those divisions. Donaire fights don't even sell out in the US and he is easily the biggest draw below 130.

Nowhere near as good a choice as fighting the champion Mosley though

Mayweather over Mosley I'd say... as far as I know, people weren't calling out Donaire before the Nishioka fight like they were Money before the Mosley fight.

Even though everyone called Shane shot to pieces after it was over, I still think Floyd's legacy was more greatly enhanced after proving the doubters wrong by actually fighting and dominating.

nowhere as near? mosley is 38 years old and shot. a prime, younger, fresher cotto who has a win over mosley is the better win. do you want to make a poll on which is better, floyd's win over mosley or pac's win over cotto?

so people now are rating a division on how the fighter's on it earn? how about the actual quality of the division's boxers?
