    STFU!!! Mosley IS the champion right now. Mosley didn't duck Floyd he took the better paying fight against Oscar. The samething Floyd was gonna do this year, except it was Pac and not De la Hoya.

    Oscar was 34, and Marquez was a tune up. Floyd has many more quality wins.

    How? If he beat the champions of all those division than how can you say he didn't beat the best? If the champion wasn't the best than wtf does that say for that division to begin with.

    Also Joe was champion of a SMW division that was cleaned out before he even won the belt, so thats BS.

    However, Manny never did that, Calzaghe never did that, I can't really think of many who did. Floyd never even had much trouble beating anyone other than Castillo.

    Floyd could have been better if he had fought everyone he should have. His resume in the past 5 years limits his argument considerably.

    Then you can add that Floyd beat Castillo twice, Zab Judah and Baldomir who were WW champs at the time. He's about to take on Mosely too. I bet you had to dig to get that and make it seem even. Keep digging:yep

    Sorry, but they're both tremendously overrated.

    I think you could have supported them both a little more, achievements etc.

    Mayweather five weight World Champion, among only a handful of boxers in the history of the sport to achieve this. (And only Pacquiao gaining World titles in more weight classes)

    Calzaghe, World Champion for over 10 years before unifying titles. Also a two weight World Champion.

    Mayweather gets the nod in my eyes, five weight World Champion.
