    DLH wasn't at welter
    the only career welter on the list that he fought at welter is Baldomir
    Im assuming the thread is intented to be a joke of sorts

    The best thing that could have happened to Mayweather was to lose the first Castillo fight, or more recently the DLH fight on the judges cards.

    That way he wouldn't be so anal about defending his '0' and would actually try and establish a legacy the good old fashion way - fighting the best fighters out there.

    If he lost those two fights and even lost a fight to Winky, whilst beating the likes of Cotto, Margarito and Pac (instead of Baldomir, Judah and Marquez), he'd rate higher in my estimations than what he does now.

    all time?not yet in the top 10. Even Roberto Duran who only fought Leonard who was great at welterweight ranks higher just because Duran got the win and fought a great 2 times here. Fact is Duran got the win because Ray was inexperienced and fought the wrong fight, but regardless fighting and beating a great is what gets a guy ranking or fighting a legendary champion and winning the title. You cannot handpick smaller guys and be ranked.

    Man you have an agenda against Duran. What does that have to do with this? And why is that "Fact"? Its just your opinion.

    You are consistently glass half full when it comes to him...Admittedly Im the other way but I dont bring Duran often into non-duran threads.

    JMM, Hatton and ODLH are not WELTERS . . . Floyd was also Mitchelle's only second fight at 147 . . . so that leave Baldo and Zab as the refference fighters at 147.

    . . . not even top 100. :deal

    I think Mosley, Cotto, Margarito and Cintron all rank higher than Floyd in terms of résumé at welterweight.

    Floyd also fought Oscar at jr middle so it doesn't count at all.
