    Mayweather would've lost to Forrest as well. But in terms of what they actually accomplished, Mayweather has the better resume, albeit the more protected one.

    Remember reading comprehension in school ? I think not. I never said that Mosley won all those fights, I simply swapped the resume's around to predict what the results would be.

    Mosley would quite easily be undefeated had he fought Floyds resume, the fact that you think Castillo would beat Shane at 135 means that either

    A. Your overating Castillo
    B. Your underating Mosley

    You also make the point that Floyd was smaller than Forrest and Winky yet wasnt Shane ? Watch Oscar vs Shane and look at how much bigger Oscar is than Shane then go watch Floyd vs Oscar and see the similarity. The difference in size between Shane and Floyd is minimal at the most.

    So back to the resume swapping, would Floyd have beaten Winky and Forrest ? I personally dont think so. Forrest at 6ft tall and a piston jab would give Floyd nightmares. For me Floyd wouldnt have beaten prime Oscar, or a prime Shane.

    Do you ?

    Also you make it sound like Shane comprehensively lost to Cotto, when in fact I scored it by a point for Shane, and at 37 thats some result.

    Lets see Floyd at 37 beat what was considered the top WW in the divison at the time....

    ACTUALLY

    Lets see him do it now ? Haha.

    Not to make it sound like im Floyd bashing, I believe he should have stayed at the lower weights 130-135-140 and fought the best over those divisions. Its not hard to see why he's avoided the big fights at 147 when he's at a disadvantage to nearly everyone.

    Back to point, if Shane had done the same then he wouldnt have his losses.

    Do you remember mathematics in school? Sums? Adding up?

    You posted NINE fights to prove Mosley had a better resume than Mayweather.

    Mosley lost FIVE of them. He should have lost another, making it SIX times he was the poorer man on the night out of NINE.

    Laughable :lol:

    you can't make anyone fight you Floyd called out Oscar and Shane for years they were only willing to fight him at the end of their careers because he was the man to fight and get big payday.
