    PBF:

    UD Mosley
    UD Marquez

    PACMAN:

    UD Clottey
    TKO Cotto


    For me beating mosley is better than Clottey and on par with beating cotto or maybe even a bit, but beating clottey and cotto is better than beating marquez.

    I would just Pacman......would that still mean 50/50 negotiations?

    Yet when Pac fought Marquez, it was too close to call. I see the reason for saying Clottey is a better win than beating Marquez---*******ISM. Clear.

    There's no point in creating threads aiming at comparing Pac's and Floyd's accomplishments. Pac fans outnumber Floyd fans.

    They rank even in my book. Mosely and cotto are good wins for both fighters but pacs win was done in shocking fashion. Both the Marquez win and the clottey win look good only for the name because Marquez wS too small for Floyd and clottey is a turtle dove. I say even.

    I rank the victories like this in how good they were

    Pac over Cotto
    Floyd over Shane
    Pac over Clottey
    Floyd over Marquez

    I say floyds. Im still pissed at the 145lb catch weight. You fight Hoya at 147: Cottey at 147 but you make cotto lose 2lbs of muscle.

    Cotto had no problem with it

    You have a problem with that but you dont have a problem with the stunt Floyd pulled against JMM and coming two pounds over the weight limit.

    True. He gambled on the fact he would maintain his strength at 145 for the biggest payday of his career and lost. just my opinion but I dont rank that win very highly because it was not at Cotto's best weight. Answer this why even ask Cotto for a catch weight if you thought you can beat him fair and square.

    Not even close, what pac did to clottey and cotto was far more impressive.

    Dont put words in my mouth. I do think that was very unsportman like. But the difference is at least JMM and Floyd got to come into the ring at full strength and not weakened.
