    I don't but if people think he won't get there, he clearly isn't there now. I think Berto has a chance to get there but not a great one.

    Clottey was flat out scared. He never moved his gloves from his face, his chin isn't as good as some people like to believe. It's not that he lost but he didn't even try to win. What A level fighter doesn't even throw in the biggest fight of his life?

    Do you know what an A level figher is? Figure that out before you make your argument.

    Mayweather out classed the #3 p4p boxer in the world. Great preformance by Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    Too many question marks surrounding Margo to really use that one. plus that was a year and a half ago. All we need to do is look back at the past and what almost always happens when a 40-ish fighter comes back from a layoff. Did people call Camacho the goat when he beat leonard?

    Had Shane been retired for six years? And was he coming off of a loss in his last fight?

    No, and Shane did a lot better than Ray, what's your point?

    Pac and PBF are the only A level fighters at WW, Mosley is old, Cotto, Clottey, Berto and Margo are all B-level and C-level guys. PW is a B+ class fighter but really The fact that Shane is a top 5 WW today has far more to do with lack of talent in the division than anything else.

    Thank you.

    I felt this was pretty obvious but instead I have to argue why Berto and Clottey aren't A level fighters. :patsch

    This is true, big drop off after Floyd and Pac.

    Yeah and I love this one too "Just because Shane is pushing 40, doesn't mean he is old".....:rofl:rofl:rofl
