    Who has the better wins?

    Who cares about undefeated... Why didn't Mayweather fight Margarito, Cotto in his prime, Paul Williams?

    SRR ranks highest and he has losses, as does Ali, and many greats greater than Mayweather.

    I'm a fan of Floyd but I don't see how he ranks higher and if so, there wouldn't be much in it.

    For me, De La Hoya has the better names + theres a strong argument he would beat Floyd prime for prime, especially at 147.

    I have Floyd. A case can be made that he has better WINS than Oscar but not a better RESUME. But if we are including arguable wins and loses then it would go to Oscar. He beat Tito which is better than anything on Floyd's resume and he beat Mosley. I had him losing to Whitaker, Sturm, and Quartey though.Floyd has been on top longer and if he retires undefeated at 38 then it would widen the gap. It depends on who he fights though. Being recognized as the best P4P at 38 is one hell of an achievement if he can pull it off.

    Oscar certainly didn't retire for 2 years when he was THE 147 lb champ that's for sure.

    No he did not. In fact he moved up from 140, to 147, fought teh True reigning WW champion and P4P cham[pion in Pernell Whitaker, then moved on to fight Trinidad, Ike Quartey, Julio Cesar Chavez, a few #1 contenders and got a SD loss to a prime Mosley. All within 3 years!

    Oscar did what not even Whitaker, Quartey, or Trinidad did in an era when the WW division was far superior to todays, he cleaned it out.
