    Mayweather easily. He moved through more divisions beating lineal champs and more HOF's.

    you cant really compair because some of Floyds fights took place at a much lighter weight, if you compair from 140 and up it makes it pretty close, Cotto has a win over a fresher younger mosley who beat DLH.
    IMO at 140 and up Cotto has better wins, But Floyd has more meaningful wins, beating Baldimor for the lineal title will always be an arguement for Floyd fans, but in reality Baldimor was only the man on Paper, sure he beat Judah but lets be real Judah was never anything special.
    Baldimor at that time nobody could sit here and argue he was the best welter weight in the world, he just so happend to hold the ticket to make the arguement but that does not make it reality.

    IMO cotto has beaten alot of good fighters. But his only wins against great fighters are Judah and Mosley. And they were both past prime

    Mayweather has beaten both of those guys, and also has hatton,castillo,coralesse,marquez, and DLH

    Not even CLOSE :deal

    Floyd has the better resume, but also WAYYYYYYYY better mgmt.

    PBF, either himself, or his camp,"know when to hold em, and know when to fold em, they know when to walk away, and know when to run." Copyright Kenny Rogers.

    Mayweather has loads more talent than Cotto, but sadly, he's doesn't always take the toughest challenges. 10 years ago, when he beat JLC, I thought he was gonna be the GOAT at any weight. But when he went on to illegally beat Gatti, I began to dislike him. He had NO reason to end Gatti like he did, since IMO, had he not basically KOd Gatti during the break, he'd have done the job legally 3 or 4 rounds later.

    Since PBF is nearly invincible, he should say FUKK his big 0
    and fight the very best opposition that will accept his challenge. When guys like Floyd or Manny or the K bros are so very much better than their opposition, it should be them going after challengers, finding and fighting the very best soas they CANT be called duckers, chickens, or cherry pickers.

    Floyd needs Pacman now, and Berto, and Khan, and Cotto, or IMO he'll lose his credibility as one of the GOATS. If he fights and beats those guys, then he might again be considered the GOAT.

    that KD was legit... Always keep you're eyes on you're opponent and defend yourself at all times....

    ESPECIALLY if you're opponent is Mayweather :patsch
