I don't understand the argument in this thread. Yes, there is a difference between resume and record. Guys like Jermain Taylor do have really good resumes. If you wonder where the losses fit then, they fit in when talking about RECORD and where that record puts that fighter when talking about their career.
Oscar had a great resume, but since he lost like half his big fights he it is reflected in where you would place him when talking about the best ever. Jermain Taylor has a really good resume, but since he has lost so many fights by KO you don't talk about him as being one of the best ever.
How is that hard to understand? Pac has a great resume, and is talked about so highly because he has won so many of the big fights. Ali has one of the best resumes of all time, and is considered arguably the greatest because he won almost all of them.Comment

I rate it like this.
Resumes are a fighters best wins, good wins,etc.
There level of competition is the level of fighters they fought throughout their careers.
For example:
Mayweathers resume
Diego Corrales
Oscar De La Hoya
Jose luis Castillo x2
Ricky Hatton
Arturo Gatti
Zab Judah
Genaro Hernandez
(not in any particular order)
Other notable wins are Carlos Baldomir, Jesus Chavez, DeMarcus Corley.
Mosley's resume
Oscar De La Hoya x2
Antonio Margarito
Fernando Vargas x2
Ricardo Mayorga
Luis Collazo
(not in any particular order)
There's probably a few more notable fighters in there also.
There resumes are closer than what alot of people think. I actually give Floyd a slight edge at the moment.
Now....The level of competition goes to Mosley hands down.
All the fighters i named above on Floyds resume are the best fighters he's fought and because he's never lost there are no big fights i left out.
Mosley however has lost to the likes of Forrest, Wright and Cotto which easily push Mosley ahead ( combined with the fighters i mentioned above on his resume) in the level of competition catergory.
I used his resume, not his record to prove him wrong.
True Bradley is undefeated, but to call him overrated is crazy based on his recent body of work (resume).
Witter (in his back yard)
Holt
Campell
Peterson
Based on his recent resume (wins included of course), he is proven, not overrated.Comment

So you are another guy who has never been in a fight before. You learn a lot about yourself when you lose a fight. A lot of times more than you learn in an easy win.Comment
