    :patsch no the fact is in the rankings they were number 1 :lol: what's so hard to get about that.
    It's like me saying Mayweather is ranked number 1 at 154 now and you come and say no he's not :blood

    He got knocked out badly by Martinez and then looked horrible vs Lara. Knowing how you haters think you would be saying how Mayweather cherry picked a shot Williams.

    in 08 Williams lost to Quintana, knowing how you haters think you would be saying Williams was overated he lost to Quintana. Or Mayweather cherry picked Williams after he was coming off losses.

    ok i get it, he didnt fight YOUR #1's.
    But you got put in your place here because he fought like 5 #1's you're trying to say weren't #1's.
    the worlds #1's and yours obviously weren't the same. Research the ratings over those yrs. should've thought about researching before opening such a silly and incorrect thread

    Anyone who was around in 2008 will know Margarito was regarded as the most feared welterweight before MOsley beat him - not to mention how huge he was. Mayweather ducked Mosley, Cotto, Margarito and Williams and went into hiding.

    As the OP says, Mayweather's resume since 2005 at welterweight is an absolute joke

    And how did Pacquiao duck MOsley exactly considering he didn't officially go to welterweight until his fight with Cotto? The DLH fight was a one-off, he wanted to fight DLH and moved directly up 2 divisions from 135 to do it - his intention was to go back to LW or LWW which he then did against Hatton. And then the Cotto fight came up - even then he was unsure about whether he could fight at WW and asked for 145 which Cotto agreed as it was only 1lb beneath his recent fighting weights of 146 - then he moaned like a b***h when he got his ass handed to him by a lightweight

    Saying Pacquiao ducked Mosley in 2008 is like saying Mayweather is ducking Ward now - it's ridiculous what the *****s come up with. That fight would only have happened in 2008 had Mosley gone down to 140

    Yeah, iceferg is drunk. There is no way a sober man would make so many incoherent points in one thread.

    Haven't read the replies yet, but here goes...

    Hatton nor Cotto wanted any of him at that time. There are many reasons Tszyu bout didn't happen, don't really need to go in to it.

    I don't think I've defended him not boxing Margarito, and not going to start now. But considering the thread topic, whether people consider him the #1 at the time or not. Baldomir was #1 at WW.

    Highlighted are some corrections.

    Can't defend his retirement.

    Everyone ****ed that bout up. Everyone is to blame.

    Highlighted are some corrections.

    Highlighted...

    If you can't see improvements in Cotto, you should probably start watching more boxing. Also, there is an argument that he was #1 at LMW with the division still waiting for someone to step up.

    yeah that's why I asked who did Mosely beat to become number one because this dick head was writing off Margarito yet he was obviously number 1 at some point. Simple fact is not one of you have come up with a guy who was number 1 in the division
