Oscar De la Hoya
Shane Mosley
Kostya Tszyu
Ricky Hatton
Miguel Cotto
Antonio Margarito
Joel Casamayor
Acelino Frietas
Jorge Barrios
Vernon Forrest
Ricardo Mayorga
Winky Wright
Jesse James Leija
Pernell Whittaker
I mean not all of these guys are world beaters but they are better than let's say......Victoriano Sosa and Henry Bruseles
Oscar De la Hoya (Trying to make that fight happen)
Shane Mosley (Mosley was last at 135 in 1999 then jumped to 147 permanently, Mayweather began his campaign at 135 in 2002. BTW, HBO and Floyd wanted Mosley for this November fight but Shane wanted to "vacation" instead of take a big fight, why don't you say anything about Shane?)
Kostya Tszyu (Mayweather was looking to make that fight after Tszyu beat Hatton but we all saw what happened)
Ricky Hatton (Lord, Hatton has been running scared from Mayweather ever since he watched Floyd demolish Gatti in person, give me a break)
Miguel Cotto (Everyone knows that Arum ain't gonna let Cotto fight Floyd, Arum wants to build Cotto up to HUGE proportions, there's no way he's risking that by maybe testing Cotto to early)
Antonio Margarito (If Floyd wins, people will just say who has Tony beaten? Which is exactly a lot of people have already asked.)
Joel Casamayor (A hard hitting southpaw at 135, Floyd might have gotten out early before he HAD to fight Joel)
Acelino Frietas (So you are saying that Floyd demolishing Corrales doesn't mean shit but Corrales KTFO of Freitas, yeah, you're making TOTAL sense now.)
Jorge Barrios (So beating Genaro Hernandez and Angel Manfredy at 130, didn't mean shit, but this fight did?)
Vernon Forrest (What Mayweather was nowhere near 147 when Forrest was on top. And now that Forrest is back, he sucks.)
Ricardo Mayorga (Yeah, Floyd will get about as much credit as Oscar did, which after the bright lights had faded, was none.)
Winky Wright (The one fight on here that makes sense, but Floyd tried to make a fight with Winky and once again Winky started talking crazy with the money talk, he wanted 50-50, and Floyd wanted 55-45. Floyd's #1 P4P and stepping up to 154, I don't see how Winky should get 50-50)
Jesse James Leija (??)
Pernell Whittaker (He retired in 1999 and was already at 147)

Your list makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!!!!
