    Oh ok so just because Margarito was the WBO champ its ok for PBF to duck him. Margarito was chasing PBF while he was the champ and your argument for him avoiding Margarito was I only fight for the WBC!?!? ha wow you Floydettes have got something wrong with your head. Its like a copping mechanism so you can ignore his cowardice and justify those decisions.

    Paul Williams doesnt deserve to be on there?? Why?? He beat Margarito and had HBO fully behind him as the next big star but his style would pose problems for PBF so of course he takes another money fight that is less risky.

    Martinez is the present now. He has openly called out both Pac and PBF. Ala Ricky Hatton and JMM. Both who happen to be smaller than PBF. It worked great for them when they called PBF out but when Martinez does it over and over PBF is ****ing deaf. Just because he has no physical advantages over Martinez other than age.

    Stop justifying his shitty decisions dude. I never said he is not a great fighter but his resume is not that of a great fighter. Sure its got big names but when he got to them or how he got to them was not great.

    We are ranking them based on resume. Floyd may be the better fighter but Erik has the better resume.

    obviously Floyd, without any doubt... even JM Marquez is ranked higher than Morales in my opinion.

    Floyds resume from top to bottom is better than Morales. His skills are better, and his record is better. Now it pains me to say that because of how I feel about Morales. Nobody has Morales ranked higher than Floyd right now. Only Pacquiao fans and diehard Morales fans rank Morales higher.

    being as objective as i can; erik did beat great fighters in their prime but sadly also lost to two of those (twice to each). he also lost to two mediocre fighters which tarnishes his resume a little. what he's done since is commendable and its hard not to love morales as a boxing fan but the facts and figures suggest mayweather - despite his arguably weaker resume (featuring several hand picked opponents)- will go down higher in the history books then el terrible. largely due to his long reign at the 'elite' level, undefeated (ahem) record and faultless textbook boxing skills. sad but true.

    Yes well done, I did spell titlist wrong, great observational skills & thats about a far as your skills go as they most certainly don't extend as far as too knowing anything about boxing except for being a fully paid up *****sexual:yep

    Morales ducked no one & fought everyone & beat Pacquiao & Floyd has ducked every meaningful challenge & as Floyd sez: Legacy don't pay the bills:deal

    well why did you bring up the comparison in undefeated records at those ages if they are irrelevant due to the substance in Morales record????

    WE wouldnt be arguing now if it wasnt for your cracked out brain.

    after they retire mayweather will be regarded much higher. that is quite justified at that.
