    Floyds win over Oscar doesn't count bcs it was one class up.
    The winner of the Mosley-Cotto will have much more impressive resume than Floyd at the 147 lb.

    Not head to head, but accomplishment wise, yes. If Cotto wins, he would have wins over Quintana, Urkal, Judah, and Mosley and if Mosley wins, he would have wins over Collazo and Cotto. Mayweather's wins over Mitchell, Judah, and Baldomir would fall a little short.

    Shane would but not neccessarily Cotto. Let's look at the Resumes

    Cotto(assuming he wins)

    Quintana, Urkal, Zab, Mosely

    Floyd(assuming he wins)

    Mitchell, Zab, Baldo, Hatton

    That's pretty close

    Are you counting Shane's previous stay at 147 or his resume since moving back down?

    I didn't add Hatton since the fight will take place 1 month later, but when Mayweather beats Hatton, then he would be right back at number 1 in my opinion.

    Those are just over the past year but Mosley clearly has the better resume out of everyone just cause hes been around for longer. Floyd has only fought 3 at welter including two Journeymen, and a fighter that is 4-3-0-1 as a Welter in Judah and now is gonna fight a real jr. welter in ricky hatton, so Floyd by a longshot has the worse record of any of the top guys at Welter.:deal

    If Cotto wins Mosley would be the best name out of any of Floyds wins, EVER! So, you should re-think that one. Also if theres any need for a tie-breaker then it would go to more impressive wins, and head-to-head opponents have fared worse against Cotto.

    Im not a fan PBF but if he beats Hatton, wont people just say he's ducking somebdoy else. When he fought Judah he was dissed by some of ducking Baldo, when he fought Baldo he was accused of ducking Margo. Besides, neither Cotto/Mosley or May would even mention Williams or Clottey right now.

    Floyd is the lineal champ at 147. Until he loses I still think he's the best at 147 and place no one above him.

    Youre saying alot here, first of, Mayweathers a Welterweight right? So why when everyone from Margarito to Mosley have been calling out Mayweather for longer than Hatton and even Williams after his victory over Margarito called out Mayweather is Floyd fighting a smaller man , argueably the weaker competition in Hatton. Floyd is p4p no? So why is he fighting the lesser comp. Second, people call Margo a hype job, but Margo has consistantly fought better opposition at Welter than anyone but Mosley, and fought guys that no one including floyd would touch in Clottey, Williams and was on his way to fight Cotto. Third, yeah he got credit for fight Baldo, but in reality baldo was a journeyman who had 9 losses on his record! And Baldo beat Judah, so what does that really say bout Judah? Floyd wants respect that the only way you can archieve respect in boxing is by fighting the best, so far hes been cherry picking.:deal

    I'm gonna disregard the last part of your statement is it is irrelevant in the context of this argument. Let's compare their opponents

    Quintana v. Mitchell - 30 yr. old former Cotto sparring partner who's only good win was against a prospect against washed up former contedder. edge- Quintana

    Judah v. Urkal - Young, fast, still dangerous contender coming off a dissapointing loss vs. a light hitting, over the hill former contender. edge - Judah

    Baldo vs. Judah - Old Linear champ coming off two big wins and riding a 9 year undeaten streak vs. young, fast, dangerous contender coming off of two losses(including one against Baldo) and a year layoff. edge - Baldo

    Hatton v. Mosely - Undefeated prime p4p fighter with good power, underrated speed and limited boxing skills and defense vs. old former p4p great with good speed, debatable power, and suspect defense and boxing skills. edge - toss up , but I'll give Mosely the edge

    That's 2-2. That's close

    the Judah that fought Cotto was clearly better than any Baldomir, with all due respect to his win over Judah.
