      Where's De La Hoya, Paul Williams, Pacquiao?
      Forgot about Oscar.

      Pac and Williams would round out the Top 10.

        The question he asked was "is Mayweather considered one of the best of this era at welterweight?"

        Of course he is, people can debate whether or not he is the absolute best but he is without a doubt one of the best.

        The resume angle sounds good, but look at Clottey for example; he has a better resume at welterweight than Mayweather does. Does this by default make him a better welterweight than Mayweather? Absolutely not.

        But I guess this won't even be a discussion after May 1st when he takes care of the so called "best welterweight" in Shane Mosley.

            The only reason I don't consider him a top "Welterweight" (not fighter, he's one of the tops in this era by far) is because he didn't compete thoroughly as a Welterweight more than just getting the big fight with Oscar and then getting another big payday with Hatton. His era does include Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Williams, Berto, Clottey, etc. Now obviously, it'll easily be dismissed as, "They bring no money" which I totally agree with. BUT, those guys IMO (maybe except Williams) have carried the flagship of that division (especially Mosley being he's had 2 runs at WW) for the last few years, even during the time when Floyd was on his way to fighting Hatton.

            I'll measure Floyd all day above a lot of those guys in the skill dept, but it's a shame he didn't fight at least 3 of those guys. Win or lose, I'd definitely would put him as one of the tops as I do with the others who actually did all fight one another one way or the other.

            Atleast 3 of those guys fight under Arum and we all know how that story goes. But you are right because in many people's eyes he has alot to "prove" but that will all be put to rest on May 1st.

                Pacquiao's win against Cotto alone trumps anything Floyd's done at Welterweight.

                      You haven't addressed my points yet, instead of giving me question answers.
