Mosley is #1 @ WW based on Inactivy???

[Counter Punch]

I've already said Pac several times. I'm not a Pac fan. I actually blame him for not fighting Floyd. But he has more right to be there than someone like Mosley.

Hmm I disagree. I think Mosley's win over Margarito a year ago holds more weight than Pac's recent win over Cotto. Reason being that Marg was the number 1 guy at that time and Cotto was ranked 2 or 3 when Pac beat him, and he beat him at catchweight.

he's only had one legit fight at that weight tho...the DLH circus doesn't count

Today's Mosley is overrated in my opinion.

I don't think he's the best welterweight, and I don't think he will beat Mayweather.

How is it a dude who hasn't done jack **** in over a year still be called the #1 WW?? Even worse being at the #3 P4P and before he wasn't even on there.

some mofos think floyd is p4p #1 and the #1 welterweight after beating a blown up lightweight.

It's true, but then Hopkins is still up there for fighting a bum and then before a MW at a catch weight...

Mosely is however still quality and unless eh ages a lot, he is still a top welter.

Ring magazine was owned by dela hoya. For me mosley shouldn't even be rank at top 5 or ww and shouldn't be included at top 10 lb4lb.

So who are the options? Check everyone's last few fights at Welterwight and make an opinion on it that way maybe?

Pacquiao - fought twice there in the space of a year and two months. Pros are he dominated both De La Hoya and Cotto, but cons are he fought Cotto at catch weight and many believe De La Hoya was weight drained.

Mayweather - Fought Baldomir 3 and a half years ago, Hatton 2 years ago and Marquez 6 months ago. Pros are he dominated all 3. Cons are the competition isn't great, Marquez was blown up and Hatton didn't look very good at WW (even against Collazo looked poor).

Cotto - Fought Margarito, Jennings, Clottey, Pacquiao in the space of 2 years. Pro's are he's faced a high level of competition in a short time. Cons are he got dominated by Margarito (plaster or no plaster, its still a loss) and Pacquiao looked comfortable too.

Mosley - Fought Collazo, Cotto and Margarito in the space of 3 years. Pros are he dominated Collazo, finished strong and kept it close against Cotto and stomped Margarito in devastating fashion. Cons are he lost to Cotto.

So sum it up...all 4 top welterweights were madly inactive, only Cotto was active and look what happened to him. You weight it all up and Mosley still deserves to be number 1. Especially since he chased a fight with both Money and Pacman and they both declined and didn't want nothing to do with Mosley until May was without a dance partner. Add to that the fact he was meant to fight Clottey in December and HBO cancelled it, tried all summer to fight Pac or May and had a Berto fight cancelled...then least you can say he's tried...unlike May who said "I'm retired" and Pac who wouldn't fight him and then has only had 2 fights at welterweight.

its just the *****s hyping the old man...


again pac fighting a prime fighter and again mayweather fighting an old man

You were the same guy jumping up and down about how Shane deserved to fight Manny and said Floyd would never fight Shane. Now, he is fighting him and Shane is "old" but you would LOVE to see Manny fight him...you guys are terrible.
