Oscar was a GREAT WW in his prime.
Yeah, I'm kinda surprised how much respect he got in this last poll.
Was sure everyone would pick Floyd.
It was a "one vote" victory for Mayweather.
Funny how Tony ended up higher than Shane. :o
Shane had the misfortune of fighting Floyd in the first bracket. I thought he might get picked over Floyd, but turns out Floyd wins it all. Dammit.
Pretty damn amazing, BSers picked Floyd over Shane, Tito and Oscar to win this thing.
The tightest poll was against Oscar.
So the poll closed out and Floyd wins over Oscar by a SINGLE vote.
BSers have named Floyd winner of WW tourney.
Oscar is the runner up
Tito wins third
Tony, fourth
Shane, fifth
Cotto Sixth
Paul and Mayorga suffered double eliminations.
Damn, a single vote.

Floyd. I just do not feel Oscar could get the job done against Floyd, Oscar in his prime might be able to do enough work to do the job done, but i have enough doubts that I favor Floyd.
Tito over Margarito in a barn burner. I think Tito would go down early and Margarito would look better off in the beginning then normal but I think Tito over the course of the fight would put a hurting on Margarito. I think his corner would stop it in the latter portion of the fight.
Shane, although this is a tough call. I thought the fight they had was very close and if Mosley did a little more he could have got the nod. I think prime Mosley can do that little bit more and win a decision.

Oscar vs Floyd - Championship
Floyd by decision
Tito vs Margarito - 3rd Place
Tito BY tko
Shane vs Cotto - 5th Place
Shane by TKO
Even at his peak, DLH wouldn't have the stamina to beat PBF at 147. Tito would UD Marg, and SSM would whomp Cotto, given that he almost beat him in 2007.
Here's what we look like after 20 voters:

Oscar and Floyd are going at it, Tito and Shane have comfortable leads.
Wow I think these are all really close. Prime for prime at WW my picks are as follows:
Oscar in a SD/MD - this would be an extremely close fight IMO.
Tito over Margarito by late TKO - I know Margs has a granite chin but Tito was an animal at Welter and I don't think Margarito's defence or movement would be good enough to stop Tito from landing too many big right hands and left hooks.
Mosley over Cotto by UD - would be a good fight but in the end I just think SHane would be too quick for him. Wouldn't rule Miguel out though.
