    Pac went up and beat Oscar De La Hoya at a catchweight (Oscar was fighting at 154 previously) then after that fight went on to fight Hatton at 140

    Meanwhile Shane Mosley knocked out Antonio Margarito (WW champ) who of course went onto lose to Floyd at 147 after Floyd had a tuneup against the guy who went onto embarrass Pacquiao, JMM

    Pac of course fought Cotto at a catchweight at 147 then moved onto fight Clottey, then Margarito at another catchweight of 150

    So yeah Mayweather is the lineal 147 champion in my eyes

    no *****

    The 147 lb champion should be the fighter who holds all the belts. A fighter who wins a sactioning bodys title belt is considered a champion (bottom line). Now we can argue who is the best among the champions but untill they fight each other we will never know.Yeah, we could break down thier fights and analyze thier skill sets and come up with a reasonble conclusion but we still wont know for sure. My thoughts are that Mayweather is the best champion out of all the 147lb champions but that dosent make them any less a champion.:bbb

    firstly ODLH was at 147 not a catchweight, secondly yoy miss out the fact floyd retired - long enough for him to be dropped out of the rankings.

    when floyd retired, I said before he was the champ by beating mosley but then he RETIRED - long enough to be dropped out of his ranking as the champ

    When Floyd retried in 2007, Pac became WW lineal champ? I'll let you figure out why that makes no sense

    Floyd Mayweather

    Zab Judah was the Lineal champ, he was then beaten by Baldomir

    outside of Mayweather, Baldomir was #1, and Judah was #2

    Floyd beat Judah, and then Baldomir, he became the Welterweight champ

    His next fight was at 154 against Oscar De La Hoya, then against Hatton at 147, he beat Hatton, and was still ww champ

    RETIREMENT

    Cotto becomes 147 champion after beating Zab & Mosely

    He is then beaten by Antonio Margarito

    Margarito is then destroyed by Mosely in decisive fashion and Mosely is the #1

    Floyd comes back, schools Juan @ WW and then Beats Mosely

    Floyd is the WW champ, and hasn't lost a fight, so the answer is Floyd Mayweather Jr

    During this time Pacquiao had a fight at LWW against Hatton, then a fight against Margo at 150

    He then faced Cotto, Clottey and Mosely at WW

    Neither of the 3 being recognised welterweight champion, so he doesn't get the title
