    Retiring. I hadmore han enough of the man raping the art of fighting by running away for 12 rounds. Brilliant Boxer, awful girly fighter.

    It depends on what you mean by "best".


    Most dominant win: Canelo

    Most significant win, regarding quality of opponent: Cotto-*

    Most significant win, regarding perseverance: Maidana I


    -* Against Mayweather, Pacquiao was well past his prime, had a bad training camp and was fighting with a badly hurt shoulder. So, Cotto gets the nod.

    Floyd showed a little bit of everything in the Mosley fight. He demonstrated distance control, timing, and a very active, intelligent jab. All after being significantly rattled in the second round.

    Probably Canelo but then again I never thought he looked great at 154 so I'll say Mosley. His last prime fight was against JMM in that fight he looked sensational but that was in 2009.

    He did not look sensational actually considering he was the much bigger fighter and brought jmm up 2 weight classes and jmm never fought at even 135 before it was not great

    Mayweather fought marquez outboxing him never tried to go all out and stop him

    He looked very good though but not sensational

    He did look sensational his reflexes speed and defense were all top notch in that fight. Like I said before that was his last prime fight. He shut JMM out and didn't need 4 fights with him like Pac did either.

    alexander shut out maidana and did not need 2 fights like mayweather did your point is?

    styles make fights

    the only time floyd looked sensational was with that bum called gatti who for me is a c level fighter and was already knocked out by oscar

    PBF won the first fight with Maidana 8-4 he took the rematch because he wasn't happy with how he performed. There was no doubt as to who won in either fight unlike Pac-JMM who fought 4 times.

    Mosley fight for me. Mosley was the man to beat going into the fight, and it was the fight I really wanted to see, because at that time Mosley was the best available opponent. ( I wasn't convinced yet about Pacquiao at welterweight).

    Canelo for sure; if you mean best aesthetic performance I'd say either Cotto or Mosley

    I think his best performance was the one where he convinced his fans that there was nothing strange about having a 750ml IV shoved into his arm the day before a major fight
