    Are we counting Pac and Floyd?

    Anywho, I'd say right there really isn't a best WW. I'd say Floyd would be the top WW but he's fighting Marquez and Pac at a catchweight and I think he'll avoid the WW scenario entirely. After that? Margarito, Williams, Cotto and Mosley are all pretty close in contention. I can't in reasonable conscience put one above the other since they all have equal pockmarks in their record.

    I also think it depends on the brackets.

    Floyd hasn't fought anyone on that list. How can he have 28 votes. See, I don't hate Floyd so much, but his fans are some ass sucking ***s.

    Although my fav fighters are cotto/shane, I'd have to go with Williams. At 147, even though he is not the most talented, his attributes favor him the most against all the mentioned fighters.

    If anything, Margo would be his toughest challenge because he matches up physically the closest. (and we saw him struggle the last rounds when they met)

    #1 - I said to vote assuming that he is fighting at 147.

    #2 - There is absolutely no reason to deny that he can fight at 147. He can easily make the weight, and has never had problems doing so. This is nothing but a bull**** excuse used to lessen the damand for the best in the division to fight him. He only fought those higher weights because he couldn't get big fights at WW. Are you too ****ing stupid to understand this?

    can't be mayweather. he's been inactive too long and his next fight isn't even going to be at welter. it's mosley for me at the moment. another big win for cotto (especially if it's over mosley, obviously) and he's on top.
