    I can appreciate what Dan is saying here, my only question is why rank Floyd so high if you sincerely believe that? Surely he has full autonomy of his columns, blogs and rankings to write how he personally feels.

    Personally I have Floyd ranked #5 for 2 reasons

    1) He holds no title

    2) All the other guys ahead of him are upper echelon fighters who have a better body of work at Welter

    Mosely
    Cotto
    Berto
    Clottey
    Mayweather
    As welterweight Mayweather beat both the linear lightweight, junior lightweight, and welterweight champion at that 147. He's done way more than Clottey or Berto at WW, and is clearly better than any of the guys up there. I think him being third is just fine.

    Just cannot rank Berto in the top 5.Too me he looks one tough match up vs.top tier away from a very bad night.
