    I feel you and I disagree with some of the choices that Floyd has made but then again this is the business of the sport, it still remains certain that he is the biggest name and undefeated, just came off history's biggest selling fight to go on a knock out the champion, the top man in the JWW division for his next fight is pretty good in my book, I don't necessarily appreciate the fact that it wasn't against a well deserved opponent in his own division that got a shot I DO appreciate who he was fighting, it made for a great fight and made both of them that much more money, they playing the game and milking all the money possible but Floyd is still VERY young and once these guys all come up with 1 unifying showdown opponent regardless who it is it will be Floyd that takes the fight, and lets be real here..

    Oscar makes a good Welterweight, he was good in that division back then and he is now too bad he just gases out, dude can't hang too long but he ****s out all the same, truth be told Floyd is still fighting a bigger opponent who is VERY able to do something especially with old Floyd in his corner, it's the fight with the most money so Floyd snatched it and over the course of the year the other Welterweights unify and set up the event, another pay day. now you can down play his choices as much as you want but one thing you CAN'T say is that it's not SMART, I had to let go of any resentment I felt when I heard about this rematch because Oscar may be older and **** but dude could still pop, he doesn't deserve to fight Floyd IMO but it's happening..

    bottom line, and you will just have to understand this, is that as much as we bash Floyd for his fight choices (me included) and rally against his choices we still have to remember he is the best fighter in that division skill wise, his defense is amazing, his speed and displays of good Boxing can pause you for a second, dude could fight and he deserves at least number 2, Cotto been holding it down but Floyd is a better overall Boxer and he is tightly holding that spot. believe you me homie Floyd is going to fight one of the other Welterweights once they all unify their belts and bring a unification bout together, he ain't ****** but he trying to get the most $$$ out of it so I gotta respect it as much as I disagree, he's feeding his family..

        Well stated. Very true. I agree. I like PBF, it's all the post from his groupie payroll club that I find absurd to read and much less reply to...

          Very good question. At this point, I would have to say

          1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
          2. Miguel Cotto
          3. Carlos Quintana or Shane Mosley
