Maybe but then Floyd is in that range too if he wins, no?

Not IMO. I have Floyd top 50.

Right with Manny.

Mosley did not start his career at 126.He started it at 135 what's your point?So you feel maywether has done enough?well that's your opinion and here's mine.The reason people are not giving money may num 1 defensive fighter atg.Why people are not giving him atg fighter and putting him high in the list.It's because the man has not been in the ring with anyone with a few exceptions like hoya that had will to match their skill.If we would have seen him in with forest spinks margacheato and cotto i would agree but we did not see that.So what has he done beat up guy's that the real boxing fans knew he would beat.I think floyd is a atg but on his skill not on what he has done and who he has fought.mosley has fought everyone he has fought more ww and jr mw and ruled the lightweight div sorry man mosley is a atg and a first rd hof.

I been braking down Floyds resume over and over on this site. He has a Great resume that is SEVERELY underrated.

Why do you think Mosleys an ATG? Im a Floyd fan to the 10th power. I could hype Shane as an ATG to make Floyd look better but I just cant. Hes not an ATG.

Your answer never has and explanation why is he an atg and mosley not?

Really? Why is Shane so far below??

Ok well a whitaker did a better job against Chavez who had the same style as Castillo but was overall more effective and better than Castillo. The what Floyd did with Castillo in both fights. Just score the fights... A past prime Whitaker did just as good IMO with a prime Oscar then what a prime Floyd did with a past prime Oscar.... If that right there is not some kind of proof of who is the better denfisive fighter even though with the different styles then I don't know what else is...

We agree that Whitaker was the better defensive fighter but IMO the PBF vs. De la Hoya fight wasn't even close. Oscar won 4 rounds at best.

Personally I can't call either one an ATG but I'll definitely have a different take on May 2nd.

well who do you feel is an atg from this era?

See I had Oscar winning 4 rounds against Floyd also. But, I also had Oscar winning 4 rounds against Pernell also. Though I might be in the minority with that one...

Pacquiao, Jones, Hopkins, Holyfield, I'm forgetting someone.

Hes been as Top 10 P4Pounder since 1998. Hes been boxing since 1996 to put that in perspective.

He rose through 5 weight classes , winning titles in each while remaining undefeated. He showed dominance in every fight except one. His skills are second to none in the sport today.Him along with Pac are the best 2 fighters of the decade. That gets you in in my book. If anything Floyd is underrated on this site. He gets more hate because of his mouth then what hes accomplished.

Personally if you look at my avi you know I think Pac is... I think Bernard Hopkins is also...
