    How do you figure? Floyd has prime fighters right now he wont face, why would he fight these guys?

    Thinking in terms of accomplishments I rated Mayweather above Mosley but below DLH. Sure DLH got a couple of gifts but had wins taken from him to cancel those out. Mayweather's first Castillo fight was a gift in my opinion.

    PBF- P4P king is undefeated has been a legit champ his whole career.
    SSM- I think he could have beat PBF in his prime but he didn't do enough in his underrated career.
    Oscar- Is the biggest name in the sport which leads to him being overrated IMO.

    Mosley kills both of them in the same night when he was at 135.

    The key being fought the best but still lost your stock drops for losing. Why is that so hard to understand? If he beat Hopkins, Mosley, Tito and PBF we'd be talking about a top 10-15 ATG here.
    Second what are you talking about the only man who truly beat him at his natural weight? The last time I checked Tito beat him at 147.:deal

    1. Oscar has a better Resume and accomplished more than PBF and Mosley Prime for Prime.
    2. PBF has won in 5 weight classes and has a win over Prime Hatton and a good win over Corrales
    3. Shane had a nice run at 135 and one true win over Prime DLH but was dominated by Forrest.

    Well, obviously you can't use this as pure logic, because anything can happen in boxing, but...

    A prime PBF barely scraped by with a SD against a well past his prime DLH (who had already been in a ton of wars with the like of SSM, Quartey, Trinidad, Vargas, Hopkins, Sturm, etc...).

    Based on that you would have to assume that DLH would win prime for prime as he was faster, had better stamina and of course was a much hungrier fighter in is prime with more tenacity.

    SSM, beat a prime DLH, not once, but twice and was and absolute beast in his prime.

    Winky and Forrest (in their primes) would both be favorites over DLH and PBF. I can't imagine PBF or DLH beating either of those guys in their prime. As for Cotto, close fight at the tail end of Mosley's career that could of gone either way, and right now Cotto is a legit top 5 p4p fighter, so no shame there.

    The real question to ask yourself is this: Would SSM still be undefeated had he fought the guys PBF has fought in his career. YES!!! PBF"s toughest fighter was a past it DLH and SSM beat him in his prime.

    Would PBF be undefeated had he fought DLH's opponents or SSM's opponents...the answer is NO!!! Winky, Quartey, Trinidad, Forrest, Hopkins, Quartey, Prime SSM, Prime DLH, all too much for PBF IMO.

    1. SSM
    2. DLH
    3. PBF

    Floyd
    Oscar
    Shane


    Shane and Oscar are close but I guess Oscar's resume is slightly better.
