I wouldn't have expected Floyd to handle most of his competition through the ranks the way he has, and that is why he was/is rated his just due.
This is the difference I'm taking about.

I got Floyd as favorite in a Pac fight but wouldn't be suprised if Pac pulls it out in a spectacular fashion

If you think floyd would lose to margarito that is your opinon, or pac...thats your opinion, but him and floyd have alot of common opponents, its not exactly light years ahead in competition. also i think basically it seems to be ok to just completely ignore floyd body of work and overall dominance he had at the lower weights. Cottos resume at welterweight is better than floyds, but cottos overall body of work and especially his accomplishments, basically aside from cottos two losses, shouldnt cotto be ranked ahead of floyd in all time discussions if his resume conesnsus is so "SUPERIOR"
this is a very bizarre discussion
