Which current active fighter has a more sound legacy than PBF?

Sweetpea to answer your questions and to correct you...
1.I never said that no one is on Floyds level...I said that Cotto wasnt

So who is on his level?

2.How is the welterweight division deep?Zab,Baldo,Spinks?

Which division in boxing is deeper right now than 147? I can't find one. You could argue 130, but Morales and Barrera are both just about done with fighting (or at least they should be).

From what I understand...anyone who calls Floyd out ...he has to fight them,Which makes no sense.

Of course he doesn't have to fight everyone who calls him out. I've gotten in a million arguments with people on this site, where I've said that Margarito is a chump, and that he is a fool if he thinks Floyd is ducking him.

3.Cotto and all of the other welters need to battle it out for a shot at mayweather.

And while all these welterweights are fighting each other, what is Floyd supposed to do in the meantime? Just sit at home and do nothing? If he's going to remain active, he would be fighting again in late '07. These contenders can't all fight each other by then. I don't see why someone like Cotto wouldn't be a deserving opponent.

4.Fight the best in the division is the way its been done 100yrs is what you said...Thats not entirely true.When you've dominated a division you either bump up or down divisions to seek better opposition.

Yes, but Floyd already has moved up divisions. He's already gone from 130 to 135 to 140 to 147 to 154. Every fighter needs to stop at a weight at some point. Floyd's most natural weight class is 147. Even though you don't think 147 is any good, there are more quality fighters there than at 140 or 154. And at this point in his career, you can't expect Floyd to get his weight any lower than the welterweight limit. The best fights for Floyd are at 147.
Like I said, every champ stops moving up in weight at some point and goes about cleaning out a division. Whitaker was the undisputed champ at 135, then moved up to 140, then to 147, and even won a belt at 154. But once he got to 147, he stayed there and took on all the top contenders. McGirt, Chavez, De La Hoya, Trinidad, etc. Mayweather should stay at 147 and fight all the top ranked guys.
