And Miguel Cotto beat Shane Mosley, who Manny Pacquiao dominated. You could also look at it that way, plus Shane Mosley hasn't fought in a year and a half. And it all depends in what fashion Floyd Mayweather Jr wins.Quote:

You could also say that Margarito ruined Cotto before Pacquiao got to him and that Mosley kicked the crap out of Margarito.Quote:

Enough with the Pacneedle stuff, soooo old. :rolleyes:
I already got Mayweather at #1!
You could also say Antonio Margarito, isn't half as good without loaded gloves ;)Quote:

Floyd is talented but his matchmaker and staff protected him and gave him longevity. Get my drift? Marquez was smaller and if he were bigger, he would have won. Let's be real and look at things as they are because the past fights have all taken their toll on everyone but Floyd and sometimes to beat a king, you get your ass kicked by quite a few prince's.
Ah, what? Floyd was the best before he left & when he came back it was like he'd never left!!!Quote:

I'm still lost on what your saying (no disrespect), all I'm saying is I considered Floyd #1 in the world before his "retirement" & when he came back he looked absolutely amazing against a top p4p guy in Marquez. Sure there was the weight difference but no one has made Marquez look like that! Mayweather's still the best imo...Quote:
