Floyd fanz: what peak, great, natural welter has floyd beat?

[daggum]

I think this thread is abit of a fail because the TS will knock down my posts. Proberbly a Pacquiao fan but I will answer the question...

At welterweight he's beaten Shane Mosley, Zab Judah, Sharmba Mitchell, Carlos Baldomir and Ricky Hatton. You could argue they arent "great" but they are the best of this era. All of them were world champions. The only other two top welterweights of this era that he hasnt beaten are Pacquiao and Cotto. And I believe that he will have beaten both of them by the time he retires. And then what will people say?

"Pacquiao was a natural lightweight, Floyd cherrypicked him"

anyone arguing that sharmba mitchell, baldomir and hatton are the best welterweights of this era is in need of serious medical attention.

ok u think u know what your talking about, what was the division between ww and middle weight back then??? what is it now??? why did robinson choose to move up?? when u answer these questions then u may get a bit of knowledgde on the subject.

Dude i am about to eat..This has been the easist debate ever..Still no names..Case closed. As for your point here..You may be shocked to know that there was not a jr class at the time of Robinson, these didnt happen until the late 50's early 60's. Not sure what the point is. Lamatto weighed at 160 thus since he was the heaviest fighter, the maximum weight limit would be based off his weight. he was 160 Robinson 145, thus since the middleweight limit was 160, then this was a middleweight fight. Really this is something my 7 year old son would know.
