    resume. I should have said it better before. If you look at him from 2007 to now and compare who he has fought with who Paul Williams, Sergio Martinez, Bernard Hopkins, and Andre Ward, he looks pedestrian. He has nice names but Marquez was coming up from lightweight, Mosley was coming off an 18 month layoff at 38, Ortiz had a reputation as a quitter, and Cotto has beaten many has beens since the first Margarito fight and was pulled apart by Pacquiao. The most solid win was Hatton and he got a gift vs. Collazo. He is an ultra talented fighter but doesn't challenge himself. Everyone talks about him versus Pacquiao. I'd take him vs. Lara even.

    What do you think about Pacquiao's resume

    His is suspect too but taking a real challenge against Bradley puts it a slight step over Floyd's.

    he just fliped everthing to me, pbf was retired for like 5 yrs and jmm was p4p number 3 at the time. weight had nothing to do with it, outclass is outclass. molsey coming of his biggest win and tko considered the number one ww at the time of the fight. ortiz was a young hungry lion that beat berto and had showed he had a heart after all.

    Your out of your mind and not doing a very effective job of proving your shaky premise.

    Takes two to make a fight, & while fans buy Mayweather's farces why should he risk it all against Paquaio. It's Bowe -Lewis all over again. As Rock Newman said to me " While folks will buy easy$$$$ fights with Dokes & Ferguson why should we risk it all to fight Lewis"?

    I think he has continued taking on great challenges. Marquez was number3 p4p, Shane coming off his biggest win outside of dela hoya over Margarito, And a dangerous young champ in Ortiz who i think will beat everyone at 147 right now.

    Ward got a great run too.

    I disagree with you about Cotto. Miguel Cotto is not a soft target and will give Floyd Hell. Even when Cotto was suffering a pretty bad beating from Pacquiao, Cotto continued to throw punches and hit the Pacman. This is very much different than a Mosley who Mayweather shut down, and whom Pacman shut down even worse.

    If Pacman can't stop Cotto from throwing and hitting - Mayweather sure as hell won't.

    Mayweather better be 100%.

    Mayweather is two classes ahead of Cotto and is going to cruise through him.

    Floyd greatest achievement since 07 is having fights with offering of free rooms, buffets, and limo rides from the airport. That is something PAC can't achieve.
