    Cotto and Mosley both had their chances to fight Mayweather and Cotto ducked under the excuse, "I fight who my management tells me to" and Mosley under the memorable "I have a toothache"

    If Mayweather is an active fighter and hasn't lost his is still the lineal 147 champ, even if he isn't the people's champ.

    I know you don't, I was just saying Mayweather has no right to be anywhere on that list.

    Nopes . . . and it's a shame that his name would even be mentioned at the 147 weight category.

    Sharmba Michelle; Zab Judah; Carlos Baldomir; Ricky Hatton ???? :lol: :D

    Now we all know that isnt how it works...Or eles several of the European lineal champs would also have not been champ very long...That Erdei cat hasnt fought a ranked fighter since winninb the ****ing thing.

    By what rules of the whole thing says floyd is still the lineal champ as if that really means anything. So really Im not sure that anyone cares.

    And then he retired and dropped all his titles. His belt and his P4P ranking.

    That guy specifically posted "was" so I believe you are both talking of the same thing.

    He was . . . but no longer . . . now. :D

    He was recognized as the best fighter in the world. So, what now? Manny is better than him because he beat an over-rated Hatton, a cherry-picked Diaz, a way past it Oscar de la Hoya? Give me a break.
