Can Shane really claim he's the best WW?

[boxasmash]

I think he deserves to be ranked that way, but actually being the best welterweight is a different story.

It's a toss up between Pac and Mosley that's why it will be a great fight when they meet. It will be for all the marbles if Mosley does beat Berto. Mosley beating Margarito wasn't fair because Margarito didn't have his wrap LOL.

Then who do you think is the best at WW?

After his loss to Cotto in 2007? I always think back to that fight, I thought Cotto won clearly in a good fight. If he lost to Cotto who in turn got destroyed by Pac, how can Mosley go and say he's better than Pac or Mayweather?

This sounds a bit like triangle theory logic. Are you saying that Pac is the best WW? We can apply your logic to him as well. Pac beat Cotto who got stomped by Margarito. How can Pac be considered the best WW when he just beat Margarito's leftovers? We can't say that Mayweather is the best at WW since he hasn't even fought a top WW in years.

The truth is that nobody can claim to be the best WW yet. They have to fight each other. If Mosley beats Berto then he has a good case for claiming to be the best WW but if Pac beats Clottey then he has a pretty good case as well.

Oh, well now we've opened up a new can of worms. I agree that Shane should be ranked number one at WW but I don't necessarily think that he's the best WW. I think both Floyd and Manny would beat Shane.

Ummm because he beat the man who beat the man.

Marg beat Cotto.

Shane beat Marg.

Get it.

Shane is the Number 1 WW.

Cotto Beat Shane.

A < B < C< A

[Thurman_Murman]

Shane is the real WW Champ, not the Catchweight Diamond Champion

[Parody]

Cotto Beat Shane.

A < B < C< A

Its the way you beat em...Mosley-Cotto was a close fight.

[KittenFlaps]

Its the way you beat em...Mosley-Cotto was a close fight.

And Margs is an accused/proven cheater. It's in the way you lost too.

I'm not saying I don't back Mosley as the best WW, I'm just saying the logic is flawed.

Shane is still todays #1 WW

and for all does people saying cotto beat shane

cotto beat shane 2007 thus cotto=1WW
margarito beat cotto 2008 plastered or unplastered thus Margarito=1WW
Shane beat Margarito 2009 thus SHANE=1WW
