So who is the Best Welterweight?

[Bring It On]

Mosley is STILL the man until he gets beat.....thats how it works or are going by the Pacquiao or Mayweather rules?!?.....Shane Mosley beat Margarito.....the same Margarito who has W's over Pacquiao's last 2 opponents.....easy math if a **** aint in ya mouth(no ****)......Shane Mosley is that dude at 147 until he loses at 147....simple!!!

Shane lost to Cotto, Pacquiao destroyed Cotto. It doesn't work like that, you can make a case for anyone of those guys for sure. But not by saying: Oh, this guy beat this guy who beat this guy who...

[oaba09]

pacquiao who beat cotto who beat shane works just as well as your shane beat marg who beat cotto.

Yeah but pac only beat cotto after marg beat him

When marg beat cotto, marg became the best WW
When mosley beat marg, he became the best WW

To be considered the best WW, manny needs to beat the winner of the floyd-mosley fight....

[piano man]

pacquiao is the #1 p4p not the best welterweight
shane mosley is the best WW

pacquiao at WW fought
a dead mam walking which was ODH
miguel cotto at a catchweight
and one legit ww which is clottey

mayweather defeated lineal champion at ww and was undisputed champion

pacquaio is the best p4p but not the best WW

[check hook]

Mosley isstill the man at welter and until someone knocks him off he will remain the king of the 147 mountain..........close thread\

[piano man]

And after may 1st Mayweather is gonna be #1 ww
and then when he beats paquiao he's gonna be #1 p4p simple as that

[FloydTBE]

Pacquiao or Mayweater is the question, mosley has lost at 147lbs.
i thinkmayweather beats mosley on may 1st, then that sets up the battle for welterweight domination.

pacquiao who beat cotto who beat shane works just as well as your shane beat marg who beat cotto.

No. Cotto lost his crown after he lost to Margarito. Margarito held it and Shane took it from him. By the time Pac beat him, he doesnt have the crown anymore. You get the logic?

yeah but shane only beat marg after williams beat him


see how that works?

you have to look at all 3's recent body of work.

pacquiao had 2 good wins at 147 recently.
mosley had 2 good wins at 147 recently.

the odd man out is floyd because of his retirement. skillswise he's up there with them but resume wise his last good wins were in 2007.

cotto never had a crown at 147.

he was the top rated 147 fighter.

ratings are not passed from loser to winner like titles are.

ratings are subject to opinion.

you rate them according to their recent body of work.

shane beating marg might be better than pacquiao beating cotto or pacquiao beating clottey but that was 14 months ago.

pacquiao just beat cotto 4 months ago and just beat clottey this week.
