    All of this can only be settled in the ring between these 2 fighters so its not worth saying who is better.

    Floyd is technically better but he has never been in the ring with Mosley so how far can that tecnnical ability take him

    But as far as Resume's is concerned then Mosley's Resume is by far much more impressive than Floyds, by a mile. Undefeated records dont mean ****, all it gives you is an illusionary title of being invincible but in theory if you dont fight the guys who are considered dangerous then you wont get the real respect from the real fans who know boxing

    Everything I wrote made sense, your just too ignorant to actually decipher the information

    UNDEFEATED RECORDS DONT MEAN **** IN THIS DAY AND AGE.

    Has Mayweather fought a live welterweight yet, end of discussion...

    When you talk to me come with something of substance instead of making yourself sound like a bell end

    Name all of the undefeated guys and then look at their resume's, Marciano was a totally different era so referring to him for todays fighters is just plain dumb.

    Fighters nowadays duck more of the dangerous fighters than actually fight them

    Name me all of the undefeated fighters who have fought all of the top guys, there is not many because once you start fighting the toughest fighters you dont remain undefeated.

    Do you get it ???

    How could Judah not be a live WW when he KO'd the man that beat the man, that beat the man that beat Shane. Its amazing how people say Judah wasn't a tough WW but in the same breathe say he gave Floyd hell and knocked him down AND put him on Cotto's list of WW combatants readily. Cotto beat Judah more than a year after Floyd and still sold out the Garden out with over 20,000(significantly more than his fights with Clottey, Malignaggi, and Mosley). Floyd couldve fought better competition at WW but to say Zab wasn't live is garbage especially when Shane was getting ready to fight him at this time last year.

    Mosley started out at 135. He was very dominant at that weight. Never came close to losing and defended the title 8 times winning every fight by KO or stoppage.

    Floyd started at 130. Won the title from a more impressive opponent than Mosley did defended it 8 times as well. Some of the victories were not as dominant but the opposition was far better and the man that he won the title from was better was well.

    For their first weight class I'd give the edge to floyd.

    Floyd made stops at 135 and 140 on his way up to 147. His work there wasn't all that impressive. He had a very close and controversial win over Castillo before winning the rematch in a more convincing but lackluster performance and fought some filler fights in between. Don't let Gatti's big name fool you, that was a BS fight and while it got Floyd a title, not one person actually conidered him the champion

    At 147 Shane's accomplishments were better. The man that he won the title frmo was considered far better than the one that Foyd won the title from. Also Shane has come back to the division after the move to 154 to reclaim the #1 spot again also by beating a champion considered far better than the one that Floyd beat. Floyd beat a pretty weak title holder and has milked it by picking and choosing opponents since then.

    At 154 Shane's accomplishments were also better. He beat A much fresher better version of Oscar, beat Vargas twice, and stepped up to the plate at least in losing efforts against Wright.

    Based on what they did at higher weights I'd give the edge to Mosley. He has been more willng to take risks at the higher weights wheras floyd continues to milk his extraoridinary accomplishments earlier in his career and by his own admission is only interested in fights that will generate large paydays.

    Judah was a live weltwerweight but he was never the same after that Tzsyu KO loss and he should of never of lost to Baldomir and Floyd fought Judah coming off a loss man. I dont knock Floyd for fighting him still because the fight was apparently already signed before Baldomir even fought Judah. That is one welterweight out of a bunch of top welterweights that Floyd has fought and thats a guy coming off a loss against Baldomir for ****s sake so that obviously gave Floyd even more confidence to take the fight.

    If your referring to my post I never mentioned Judah as not being a live opponent. I am talking about all of the other live welterweights that are actually out there now because to be honest the guy has chosen the weaker links as opposed to fighting tougher career defining fights and that is just a fact dude. Judah was coming off a loss to BALDOMIR, come on, both of us know Judah should never of lost that fight if that was the Judah of old but Judah lost focused.

    Funny how you keep spouting the same old bull**** when you know this isn't true.

    Floyd didn't offer ****.
    Mosley called Floyd out after the Margo fight and Floyd demanded a laughable 20 mill and that squashed it.

    The only reason he's getting 15 mill for JMM is because he's getting the lions share of the purse and JMM is getting peanuts when you compare.

    That won't happen with Shane and Floyd knew that.
