    I didn't say Pacquiao was the top guy at WW.

    alot of people don't understand this. It doesn't make sense to rank A ahead of B on the p4p list but B ahead of A in the WW division if both fighters are natural WWs. Unless B is the real WW champion. But right now there is NO CHAMPION at WW.

    When Mayweather retired, he was on a level above Pac. He was the top WW as well as the top P4P fighter, just as Brickhaus stated.

    You're debating something that nobody could possibly argue.

    The poll result seems pretty accurate to me. Poor Clottey, he got no love.

    Mayweather is nowhere near top WW.
    Not once in his career.

    :huh

    So beating the ex champ and current champ back to back is not good enough?

    Despite, Cotto, not even being in the division yet.

    Margarito who was offered the fight and declined it "due to short notice". And wasn't ranked higher than Baldomir or Judah.

    Mosley was at 154 during 2006.

    Paul Williams most credible win didn't come until 2007.

    Mayweather WW contests....

    Vs Marquez (hahahhaah)
    Vs Hatton (140 champ)
    Vs Baldomir (12 losses and 6 draws mostly to no named argentinans)
    Vs Judah (lost to Baldomir)

    That sure is some resume! The man to beat for sure!

    No **** the guy needs help. I have never seen anyone in my lifetime that has hated a person so much that he's never met or will ever meet like Blade. The guy needs to seek professional help. Hating like that is a ***** like trait.

    maybe in ur opinion he was NOT THE TOP WW...THE CONSENSUS OF BOXING FANS WHEN YOU INCLUDE THE "CASUAL FAN" HAD FLOYD AS #1..IN UR OPINION HE WASN'T NUMBER 1 AND THATS FINE..U R ENTITLED TO UR OPINION....BUT OFFICIALY HE WAS #1 AND HE WAS THE CHAMP...CANT TAKE IT AWAY...

    MAYBE MANNY IS THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD BUT IN THE WW DIVISION HE IS THE #2 GUY...MOSLEY HOLDS THE 1 SPOT:thumbsup

    You do realize that Hatton had won a championship at 147 as well?

    But wait, you had him losing right?

    So??
    Do I need to go back in history and start naming champs you don't even know existed to prove my point?

    Floyd is not the man to beat at WW.
    he hasn't even fought the other guys in the poll, how can he be the man to beat?!?!

    he is only the man to beat because he convinces the media he is the man to beat with his ******ed ass 0.
    "Hey no one can beat me, they all beat each other but no one is beating me!"

    No ****ing ****, you don't fight anyone who could beat you.

    As far as I am concern Pac or Mosley are the MEN at 147lbs. Beat any of those two in a brutal fashion then I will consider you the MAN at 147lbs.

    I'm beginning to think it's by the grace of god that you're able to dress yourself in the morning.

    Floyd was P4P #1. Top fighter in the world. Nobody was close. Mosley was fighting at 154, Cotto was at 140 and still trying to prove his name, Margarito wasn't a thought at this point and Cintron was just a guy on the scene. Manny Pacquaio was fighting at 130 lbs. Oscar De La Hoya was bouncing around weight classes and into retirement.

    Not even touching all that, Floyd is the #1 WW on principle alone. If Manny Pacquaio decided to drop down and compete full time at 135, he'd be the top fighter in that division on principle alone. If Floyd decided to go to 154, the same applies there. The best fighter in the division is the man to beat, resume or otherwise.

    I never said he was the man to beat right now.

    You said he was never a top WW ever.

    Which I disagree with and showed you why.

    Then you went on a rampage about here and now.
