    He's an effective southpaw that's got incredible work ethic and decent power. His chin is phenomenal.

    Reminds me a lot of an improved southpaw version of Margarito (without the wraps)

    He's one of them, I think Bradley also has a claim to that.

    Ghost defeats Bradley imo. Ghost is a greater threat to either Floyd or Manny (pre KTFO) H2H imo.

    Guerrero is not a bad fight but it's obvious how rabid Floyd fans are trying to hype him and defend the choice.

    Bradley's a good shout.

    It's just a down time period for the division is all. Guerrero literally is one of the very best welterweights Floyd can fight.

    He's as good as Ghost at this point. But I honestly believe Ghost > Bradley. Mainly for power reasons

    Clear as day top two. Debatable where Pac falls. Guerrero clearly 100% ahead of Bradley.

    1. Mayweather
    2. Marquez

    3. Pacquiao

    4. Guerrero
    5. Bradley

    Maybe, but that says more about the welterweight division today than it does about Guerrero himself. The division is very weak right now.

    Your top 10 is a faded Floyd, a bulked-up 39 year old Marquez, a possibly shot Manny, Guerrero, Bradley, Alexander, Brook, Maidana, Malignaggi and Berto.

    This is the weakest welterweight division there's been in a long time. It's strange, because both 140 and 154 are loaded divisions with lots of interesting fights out there.

    My rankings are based off today and ignore all prior accomplishments.

    1. Floyd
    2/3. JMM/Ghost (JMM being 40 struggles and possibly loses to Ghost H2H - reach, size, work ethic, and the fact that Ghost can actually box a little [Cough, Manny] favor Ghost in H2H imo)
    4. Pac
    5. Timothy
