Yup. Floyd should have let Manny fight DLH and Hatton first. That way his wins would have looked more impressive if he had beaten than after Manny did.
Better ask Floyd to put on a better show. That way, his "dominance" of a decade is solid.
too bad mosley you dummy. you had the number spot and you blew it! you should have fought gatti, baldomir, judah, hatton and marquez at 147. why did you risk everything against forrest, winky, delahoya, vargas, cotto, and margarito. that had to be the worst series of moves in boxing history. keep it simple stupid! do not i repeat do not go for the glory.
You can't compare the two... Floyd didnt make a run at the 154 weight class, he beat De La Hoya and the Cotto fight just never happened... I'm not saying Floyd's resume is more impressive but very impressive nonetheless to be ranked p4p for 12 years... Ring isnt gonna rank you p4p or 12 years from doing nothing and fighting no bodies, he fought and defeated 6 p4p ranked fighters, won 5 different titles and 5 different weight classes, beat two undefeated p4p ranked fighters... If you dont think that's impressive then maybe you need some stronger glasses your self... Any fighter ranked P4P for 10 years you can think of is a ATG
didn't they rank floyd mayweather though?
but only one of those was on the list and in the same division as him at the time he fought them. not too impressive when you actually break it down and not just twist the facts.
old hoya, hatton and marquez at 147? you are comparing that to mosley fighting vernon forrest twice, winky wright twice, vargas twice, prime delahoya, and cotto? yea i'm sure he would still be on the list if he fought those guys lol! if you can't see he has the weakest resume besides hamed then get stronger glasses!

you wonder why most those guys fell off the list and why mayweather is still on. could it be that mayweather hardly took any risks after the castillo fights and all these other fighters on the list fought the best over and over again? or are you just so impressed by wins over baldomir, gatti, and smaller fighters like marquez and hatton?
Mosley: De La Hoya, Forrest, Wright, Cotto, Margarito
Hopkins: Trinidad, De La Hoya, Tarvar, Pavlik
Mayweather: Castillo x2, Corrales, De La Hoya, Hatton, Marquez
Huh? None of those list are easy... stop being a hater, idiot

why? once you get in the top 10 you can't get out unless you lose. look how easy mayweather had it compared to everyone else on that list.

that's quite amazing to me... Any fighter that you can think of that was ranked p4p over a ten year span is a ATG

from that list there still 3 fighters on latest ring top 10 p4p ...
shane, mayweather & hopkins

Yeah, but 1998 wasn't part of this decade and Floyd took two years off.
taking those two years off costed him the fighter of the decade award IMO... If he would of stayed active and fought Cotto after he beat Mosley and then any other competative fight afterwards he would gotten it... Floyd taking that 2 year hiatus has changed alot in boxing though IMO; we might have never found that Margarito was a cheater/ Mosley probably would have never had the chance to put himself back on top/ Pacquiao would have never fought De La Hoya.... damn
