    I'd say Mayweather, personally.

    It's up for debate though of course but I'd say Mayweather.

          What do you think? Some good fighters on their resumes.
          JMM> Miguel Cotto

          Shane Mosley > Miguel Cotto

          Oscar De La Hoya > Miguel Cotto

            In your opinion.

              Very fair

              About JMM, it's funny how Floyd gets zero credit for that by most, when the older version of JMM goes up to that weight years later and gives Floyd's nemesis Pacquiao the hardest fight he's had in years.

              Might as well take credit away from Hearns' win over Duran too

                Who's the best fighter that Floyd faced?

                Probably Juan Manuel Marquez in terms of greatness but he was hopelessly undersized and never had a chance.

                  Floyd might be the best fighter that Cotto has ever faced. The only other one that might have an argument is Pac.

                  Cotto by far is not the best fighter Floyd has ever faced. In every aspect from hardest hitter, to skill to whatever department you can think of Floyd has faced better. I'm not even sure if this Cotto is better than that version of Oscar that Floyd fought.

                    Anyone who gives Pac credit for the 3rd JMM fight should Immediately give Mayweather credit for the win over JMM

                    Pac in 8 years and 3 different weights never got close to dominating JMM.

                      A hopelessly undersized Marquez that never had a chance at 144, who arguably just beat Pac at the same weight over 2 years later. I hated that fight going in as well, but looking back and seeing that JMM just arguably beat Manny at the same weight, Floyd deserves some credit for absolutely dominating him. Not a ton of credit, but some.
