    Don't forget the first Vargas fight.

    Both guys were considered faded at the time and at an equal point in their careers.

    No.

    He is a great fighter and a top 100 OAT guy IMO, but Bernard Hopkins is the best fighter of this generation and one win over Antonio Margarito is not enough to change that. De La Hoya should've got the decision 2nd time out v Shane who may have been roided at the time, that damages his standing in my eyes.

    He did recently lose to Cotto; granted Cotto lost to Margarito, but that is his only loss.

    That is just the current sitaution, when you count all the great fighters of this generation you can't call call Mosley the clear #1.

    The EPO controversy makes it less likely.
