    The top 5, prolly number 1...Joe is better than Superman!!

    In the top 30 or 40....He had a style that could have beaten anyone on any given night. He would have challenged anyone with his awkwardness, stamina, and workrate.

        No Manny's ww resume is not better and nowhere nears Floyd's at that weight. 1 win over Cotto doesn't eclipse the wins Floyd has at that weight.....even if Manny's overall resume is better just like Tito's over all resume is better than Lacy's. Still Lacy at the time was more proven at SMW than Tito was after Joppy at MW.

          I might be in the minority, but I think Froch is gonna beat Kessler and KO him. Kessler is hittable and he is not mentally tough.

            I have never seen it either and won't speak on it until I do, I suggest everyone does the same in regards to all fights.

              I agree with Iceta. Froch will beat Kessler, and **** on Joe's pathetic resume a little more.

                yes it is. you seem to be easily fooled by number of defenses and longevity rather than actual substance. so zsolt erdei is better than chad dawson cause he had more fights at light heavy and is the linear champ?

                cotto was the best or second best welterweight for a long period of time when manny fought him. floyd's only fought 2 real welterweights. marquez and mitchell were gimmes and hatton was decent but hardly comparable to a top welterweight. baldomir is a complete bum and probably the worst fighter to ever hold a title belt. a flash in the pan who appeared out of thin air and vanished just as quickly. judah coming off a loss to baldomir isn't much better as he loses to every notable fighter he fights and is 1-5 against notable opposition at welterweight.

                as for lacy being more proven at supermiddle than tito at middle? are you havin a laff? he fought one guy in the bottom half of the top 10. robin reid who's career was virtually over. tito knocked out the number 2 middleweight and 5 year reigning wba champ.
