    where would he rank on the list of all time great fighters? Would he be put ahead of Mayweather?

    lets look at his resume
    2 victories over Oscar
    1 Mayweather
    1 Mayorga
    2 Vargas
    1 Collazo
    1 Margarito
    I thought he beat Cotto by a round but I'm sure a rematch will happen

    8 title defenses at Lightweight
    5 title defenses at Welterweight
    2 time welterweight champ

    It would solidify his position as an ATG, but it also depends on how he beats Mayweather.

    Mosely stands not a chance against the Pretty Boy.

    I doubt he would beat PBF but if he did, then it would be another great name on his already awesome resume. Its not like his status is really in any doubt though!

    I have him ahead of Mayweather now. In addition to the wins that you mentioned you have to give him credit for facing Wright and Forrest

    If he did he'd be up their with the greats at WW. Such as SRR, SRL and Tommy Hearns.

    On resume, yes. It won't happen though, PBF's too slick. Here's a better question: If PBF beats JMM, Pacquiao, Cotto and Mosley, where would he be P4P ATG?

    Thats why I said solidify, there wouldn't be any doubt of his status if he was to beat Floyd.

    Mayweather is already a top 50 fighter, if he were to beat those you mentioned I would put him somewhere in the 30's-low 40's.
