    De La Hoya again because of the level of competition and his success in multiple weight classes.

    De la Hoya, but I don't think there is a huge gap.

    If Mayweather pulls out wins over Mosley then Pacquiao in his next bouts, it is no doubt going to help his legacy.

    LOL at everybody jumping on DLH's nuts as soon as it involves Mayweather. Man, we should have a poll, Hitler or Mayweather. Wouldn't be surprised to see Floyd lose that one as well.

    Mayweather has a few fights left and has already (arguably) had a better career than DLH. As the poster above says, DLH lost in most of his big fights, including against Mayweather.

    Anyone whos ever seen the Trinidad fight wouldnt say that, go educate yourself.

    It's close though, I'd probably go for Mayweather just.

    Hitler would have knocked floyd out in 2 rounds.
