    Is there really any doubt? Floyd.

    Man, that's just off base.

    Floyd has fought at '47:
    Mitchell
    Judah
    Baldomir
    Hatton
    Marquez

    Only two are welterweights, but correct that, Judah right now may even fight at junior welterweight. So that makes Carlos ****ing Baldomir as Floyd's only legitimate welterweight opponent, and you had the temerity to write that? Skills, maybe.

    I understand a forum is for expressing one's opinion, but please do have the good sense to evaluate what you're saying first. Sometimes we should exercise self-censure. Who knows, the process might enable us to become better versions of ourselves.

    Just a thought.

    You have bad jokes. Oscar and Clottey weren't even there to fight.:patsch His only credible win was Cotto.

    Pac of course unless so one can dethrone him. He has beaten Cotto/Clottey 2 top 5 welters. If Mosley beats Mayweather he will probably be tied with Pac at 147 then they can fight it out for king of the hill.

    The best? Definition of the best is when referring to a person is - The person who is most outstanding or excellent; someone who tops all others; "he could beat the best of them"

    With that being said, until they all fight each other you have to say Floyd based off of record and skill. I would like to see all four of them fight each other to determine the pecking order, but we know that wont happen. I think after the winner of PBF/Mosley fights Pacman then it will be settled...but until the fights begin its Floyd...it would be a lie to say it was anyone else.

    Are we basing it on legitimate opponents fought at 147? probably Mosely since he is the most experienced in the division.

    Ahh, this is a tedious exercise. :patsch

    Even if it is true that Cotto was Pacquiao's only credible win, that still tops everything Floyd has done, eh?

    Judah and Baldomir, against Cotto, a no-brainer isn't it? :deal

    Now, put in Clottey, who had close losses to Margarito, Cotto and aha, a win over Judah. Nope, you can't just dismiss Pacquiao's win over Clottey like that. :bart

    It counts, especially if all you have going for Floyd is Mitchell :nut, Hatton at '47 :yep, and Marquez at '44 :rofl

    Pacquiao fought Cotto at 145lbs, not 147lbs.

    a pacquiao vs the winner of a berto/margarito fight will also be good if pbf and mosely will have a rematch

    Shane Mosley, and for those who think not, he'll prove May 1st.

    1. If nobody gave a ****, it would have been contested at the Welterweight limit, as is standard procedure.

    2. That doesn't change the fact that it was at 145lbs, not 147lbs.

    3. Yawn. You're very emotional.
