    For all this talents and accomplishments, since 2005, he's been nothing but ordinary. Done nothing to really seperate himself from the rest.

    ATG at 130!

    135 and up, he's just DLH-lite.

    What? Baldomir who was the undisputed champion D, Mosley who was the number 1 ranking in the welterweight and number 3 p4p C.... and Gatti who was a paper champion (the real champion at the time was Tszyu) B+

    There is something wrong with your reasoning

    Baldomir being ranked D may be harsh, maybe c- at best. Just becasue he was an undisputed champ doesn't make him equal to all undisputed champs. He was a journeyman, nothing more. No big wins prior to Judah, no big wins after. Nada.

    Shane's position at #3 at the time is dubious as well. Before he lost to Cotto, he had been looking average at best. Good in spots. All he had was a big win over Margarito, witjh his last decent win being over DLH in the rematch. And everyone has mixed feelings about that one. Maybe he was #3 at WW. Hard to see him as #3 P4P.

    You can take any fighter throughout history and make a long list of fighters he should've or could've fought.

    Pacquiao could've/could fight/fought: Bradley, Maidana, Alexander, Ortiz, Berto, Judah, etc.

    Marquez: Rios, Guerrero, Kevin Mitchell, Khan, Maidana, Alexander, etc.

    Sure, but that doesn't make them all equal. And certain fights make sense at certain times.

    BTW, you're using mostly JrWW's for 2 guys at WW and LW. Not exacly the best argument for passing on opponents.

    No man, you'd better study... Shane was #1 at WW and #3 p4p at the time.

    I know Baldo wasn't a talented champions, but my question was: How he can give D to Baldo win (who was the real champion of the division) and then give B+ to Gatti win (who was a paper champion)?

    Well said, I agree. We can find a fighter for anyone... I would like to see Pryor-Leonard (did Leonard duck Pryor?), I would like to see McCallum-Hearns/Hagler/Duran (did Hearns/Hagler/Duran duck McCallum?), I would like to see Pacquiao-Guzman at 130 lb (did Pacquiao duck Guzman?) and many many others

    His resuma's a joke for someone claiming to be the new GOAT.

    Once he succeded in getting his snout into the HBO $$$ trough by fighting DLH he intends to stay there & after getting a SD against DLH he bugged out of the re-match & then procceded to cherrypick easy pay days. All roads for Floyd led to DLH who was the PPv king & that was the road to riches & no way would he ever jeapodise his bull**** 0 by risking it against valid & live opponants since that SD win.

    He's as shocked as everyone was when by his own actions in bugging out against DLH it left DLH with an HBO date to fill & that let in Pacquiao who Floyd's done his utmost to avoid that was until the Mosley fight when he thought maybe that Pac's on the slide & Pac/Marquez was lined up leaving Mayweather to deduce that now is the time to take advantage of a possibly sliding pacquiao as the Pac who wasted Hatton & schooled Cotto **** Mayweather up in fine style & made him run away.

    Floyd just didn't want to do business with Arum anymore. Top Rank is one of the top Boxing corporations, and Floyd decided to buy himself out. Why? His ppvs tell the story I guess.

    Hindsight is a great thing isn't it? Back then we didn't know he was cheating and was a far bigger threat than the guys Floyd did fight.

    First of all, you are focusing too much on who has a belt. Look, there's easily 4-5 belts guys can get in the same division.

    It's all about the opponent. Not to mention, how Floyd faced them. He went for the kill vs. Gatti

    Agasint Baldomir, Floyd was fine stinking the joint vs. a journeyman.

    I care less if you think I need to study. Shane's ONE big win in 6 or so years hardly makes him a top 3 P4P fighter.

    Maybe you need to not only do research, but understand what you are looking at as well.
