Floyd Mayweather v Saul Alvarez in Mexico ???

I agree with some of that to a point, but you left Jesus Chavez off Floyd's list & John John Molina, Phillip Holiday & Jesse James Leija off Shane's. I'd say right now Shane has the slight edge in terms of quality of opposition, but obviously success rate plays into that for a lot of people. If Floyd fought Pac/Cotto & won, I'd say his was marginally better. If he then beat the winner of Shane/Berto, it would be quite a bit better.

Success rate is a huge factor on strength of resume. Yes Mosley has fought the better fighters overall so far, but he has lost to half of them. As i said in another thread if its purely done on who you have fought and not on success then it would probably be some journeyman that has the best resume in boxing.

But the point wasn't about the resume. The question was asked "why wouldn't Mosley get the criticism that Mayweather gets if it was he who was considering the Alvarez fight".

oh ok, fair enough. I retract my statement.
