Pretty much on target !!! Why are you even putting him in Mosleys class when the core of PBF's success has been at lower weights. Not to say that he may not attain success later, seems you're putting the cart before the horse.

So he is the best because he rules this stable of opponents?

And you claim to be a boxing expert ,,,,,, dude lay off the Cliff notes and follow the sport with your eyes wide open. Nothing here but "C" students ! His career will either soar or sour at this point? No kudos for kicking the sh^t out of average Joes.
I never claim to be an expert...I'm a boxer...but you obviously are...so your credentials are?
Floyd is on a higher level than all of them.After he beats people they become nobody....But at the same time...you ask people who williams,margo,and cotto have beat and they'll bring up theses washed up fighters.
Floyd has done everything right!His fight game is near perfect,he is undefeated,is dedicated to the sport,and is dominant.He is the best.
Williams, Margo,and Cotto are unproven but they also have a good fan base, so until he beats them how is he better? Until he fights the "perceived" best out there how can PBF be considered the best. The boxers you mentioned above I assume are just as dedicated to the sport and dominant at times. And your reference as to boxers becoming nobody after PBF dust them off is ludicrous.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I see Soto, Baldomar, Mitchell, Judah, Corrales and Castillo ("B"). Which of these is an "A" line fighter ? A ""B" ? More like "C" line plausible fighters with slightly better than average talent and all exhibiting pronounced weaknesses and let me emphasize " slow afoot except Judah"
