    SSM still might be able to beat Ortiz, but at the same time, he hasn't done anything in the division for over two years aside from losing 10 or 11 rounds to Mayweather. I don't really take issue with it.

    Well, he chose to fight Mora at 154, lost to Mayweather and hasn't fought and beat anyone at welterweight since Margarito and no longer has the title. So, yeah. I think Berto was where Ortiz is, so there you go. Glad Pac/May isn't for their title.

    I don't doubt at all that he might be able too. I consider him a top five welter until some of these other guys step up with each other or Mosley gets a beating from someone who isn't a p4p 1 or 2 in the sport. ...Or if he gets decimated early with no competitiveness, which I don't think he will.

    Mosely would have KO'd Berto this past Saturday. Good for Ortiz though. Mosely would beat the crap out of Ortiz.

    That seems fair to me. I would put Ortiz in Berto's place drop Berto one, and then drop Shane one.

    What is the problem with that?

    I think so too. But thinking it and doing it are two different things.

    Are u a PBF fan? Because these guys seem to live exclusively in fantasy fight outcomes.

    PBF hasn't beat the **** out of anyone since Hatton. But no PBF defeating Shane was real, the only problem PBF has, is that is the ONLY legit welter on his record.

    And Shane was 37 yrs old and hadn't been in his prime since 2001-2002 (when he was about 32), and he was coming off a 1yr and half layoff.

    This ain't my fault. These are just facts of PBF's career at Welterweight. He can do something about it. He could have fought Margo before Shane. He could have called out Cotto at welter. And he could have signed to fight Pac.

    But he hasn't and *****s like yourself continue to live in the world of Fantasy Matchups.
