    Mayweather is still active.

    As of right now, Oscar has a clear wide lead in resume.

    But I would give the legacy edge to Floyd.

    Winning's got to count for something.

    Agreed. If Floyd beats Shane, Pacquiao, and moves back to 154 to beat PW then that's a strong case for putting Floyd ahead of DLH.

    Floyd

    It isn't particularly debateable to be honest.

    You might want to look up at the poll results, fella.

    No doubt its ODLH. Love him or hate him, Oscars got some crazy names on his win column.

    You're missing Jesus Chavez, Angel Manfredy and Famoso for Floyd. Manfredy was seen as a real threat having pounded out Gatti, and both Chavez and Famoso were world champions with heart in buckets.

    Most of those guys on DLH resume had a clear size disadvantage. Was Camacho a 147lber? Not even close.

    Manfredy was on my list, check your quote. It's hard to argue that DLH did not have stiffer competition, c'mon - Famoso. I laid out good wins for both, was not trying to be biased - I even said that Mayweather will probably surpass DLH before he retires.

    Besides the fact that many might have voted for DLH through malice of Floyd or for the sheer **** of it because it's not a public poll, a good portion of the board are a bunch of ******s.

    Also, Camacho was the bigger man in this fight so not sure how DLH had the size advatage.

    I agree.

    The portion voting for floyd might toe the line.

    ... Vargas, Gatti, Leija, Hernandez, Camacho, Molina, Paez, Carr, Mayorga

    Not sure any qualify as "crazy wins" though. But all were big wins and good additions to his resume.
