For your information Cotto and Mosley landed the exact same number of punches and Cotto only beat Mosley by two rounds according to the judges score cards. Mosley annihilated Margarito while Cotto was humiliated by Margarito. Mayweather beat the guy who completely embarrassed Cotto. So yes the win over Mosley is better than the win over Cotto. Also take into account when Mayweather fought Mosley. Because when they fought matters just as much as who they fought.
    Sure, but Pac fought Mosley, Cotto, and Margarito.. To erase any of that bull**** triangle theory of yours..You know what's even funny Pac has only been a WW for 3 years, while Floyd has been in that weight since 2006.. Oh, and Floyds move to WW has been gradual, while Pac had one fight each at LW, LWW in a span of a year before moving up and settling to WW after having been a featherweight...

        Yeah but Pac fought all those guys after they came off of humiliating losses. Mosley and Margarito were no longer champions and Cotto wasn't even the number one welterweight. There is a reason why Pac ducked Mosley in 2009 and instead fought him in 2011.

          Both their wins over Shane were about even and Floyd fought a better Shane. And no beating Clottey and Marg are not good wins. Cotto is highly overrated and never won a belt that wasn't vacant, besides beating a one legged ***.

            They came out of a loss against each other.. Not to mention they had one or two fights before they fought Pac..

            And its not like Floyd fought while they were undefeated.. lol..

            And lol, on Pac afraid of Mosley.. He fought Cotto because he was with Top Rank.. He would have been afraid of Mosley, if he fought a lesser fighter, but he fought Cotto instead...

                Pacquiao technically fought Margarito at 154, not WW. Then Floyd's win over 2007 Oscar should be considered as well.

                  Pacquiao fans are acting as if Cotto is still fresh and that Mosley is the only one who is shot. Since the Pacquiao fight Cotto has fought Yuri Foreman, Ricardo Mayorga, and Antonio Margarito. Mosley knocked out Two out of three of those guys and would most likely annihilate Yuri Foreman even now. I'd say the Mosley win for Floyd is greater than the Cotto win for Pacquiao for a couple of reasons. Pacquiao fought Cotto at a catchweight and Cotto wasn't even the number 1 welterweight in the world. We also have to acknowledge Cotto had been in two physically arduous fights coming into the Pacquiao fight. Mosley was the number one welterweight in the world and Floyd fought him at the welterweight limit of a 147 lbs. Mosley was also coming off a spectacular performance against Margarito while Cotto barely survived his fight against Clottey.

                  Mayweather has had more fights at 147, beat more champions at 147, and beat more number 1s at 147. So how is Pacquiao's welterweight resume better than Floyd's considering Pacquiao came thisclose to losing his WBO belt against a 38 year old light weight just last month?
                  Well to be fair since we trying to belittle the Cotto win. One can say that Mosley was come off the longest layoff his career, It was like a good 16 months and for someone of the age of Mosley that can't be good.

                  Like I said both those wins are about equal...I don't mind if someone thinks the Mosley win is better or the Cotto win is better. Both had the plus and minuses.

                    he's overrated because he fought everyone and took a couple losses but floyd is great because he hardly fought anyone and is undefeated? you must love chris john and joe calzaghe as well.
