    Time will only tell guys. Canelo is still very young and has done everything except beat lara to prove he is a top 2 154 pounder. His career could help elevate floyds legacy. Mosley would have given tim bradley trouble, canelo certainly would. Oscar would have to be ranked as one of floyds top wins, against a bigger guys. Fact is, TB is stuck fighting blown up 140 pounders at top rank while floyd has already established his dominance at 154. Say what you want, that is simply the case. I think that tim bradley is a good fighter, but floyd has been beating bigger, better guys for several years now. Yes, he had RG & JMM but tim and pac have had more fights with guys like this. Tim is only 5'6", floyd would make him look ordinary. He is too easy to hit for a guy like floyd, the guy is just on another level....there are almost no credible opponents.

      and no, mosley was not the #1 ranked welter when floyd beat him that was pacquiao for beating cotto. according to ring magazine that is.
      mosely beat margs who beat cotto who was considered #1 after floyd went into fake retirement but floyd had beaten baldomir who beat judah who beat spinks who beat mayorga who beat forrest who beat mosley for welter kingpin

      How can cotto be #1 ahead of shane, when shane beat the guy that beat up cotto.... Thats why i never use ring rankings or boxrec,, they are absurd at times

        Mayweather stays away from speed with a high boxing IQ. The last guy who was a threat (short one) was Zab, but Mayweather new he was mentally weak and wouldn't know how to adapt. Moseley was old but in his prime would of made a ruff fight for Mayweather. So would of Dela la hoya in his prime. He loves slow, powerful fighters. He'll whip them all night long. Maidaina is in my opinion different from other slow fighter with power. He throws punches in an unorthodox unpredictable way. He also has a strange kind of speed. He WILL hurt you hitting you on top of your forehead. He definitely has a punchers chance, but not a big one.

          Hahahahaha...........wow

          Corrales was Top 10 P4P
          Hatton was Top 10 P4P
          Castillo wasn't P4P but he was the best Lightweight of his time
          Mosley was Top 5 P4P
          Canelo was Top 10 P4P but that one was questionable

            Did you see the Provo fight?? Or any of Bradleys fights? Hes never been a slick fighter. Hes one of the easiest fighter in all boxing to hit. We have several fights as proof.

            Hes not slick. Hes also not that good. Hes a solid fighter with some skill but lets not go off the deep end I picked Pacquiao to stop Bradley twice now and would again if its a third fight.

            And no Mosley was the Number 1 WW after he ****d Margarito.

              Apparently, Castillo can't handle slick athletic fighters like Bradley.

              Not like he beat Johnston and Casamayor or anything and gave Mayweather his closest and toughest test of his career.

              Which the replies have conveniently been avoided.

              Frankly an extremely absurd and ignorant statement to make.
              where they top 3 p4p and undefeated (officially) like bradley?

              no they were not.

              i agree. im just stating facts. mosley WAS NOT THE #1 RATED WELTER WHEN FLOYD BEAT HIM ACCORDING TO RING MAGAZINE. It was pacquiao.

                  so by your logic ray leonard isnt a slick fighter because of how he fought duran the first time amirite?

                  you can still be a slick fighter and fight ****** and out of character the same way tim did vs provo just like the same way ray leonard did vs duran 1.

                  lol at bradley being not that good when he was ranked #3 p4p before the fight just behind floyd and ward.

                  you really still are burner.

                    Mosley P4P #3
                    Corralles P4P #5 (33-0)

                    Off the top of my head.

                    What does Bradley being undefeated mean anyway? Did you see the first Pacquiao fight? I mean cmon son.

                      Lol at comparing how Leonard fought Duran the first time to how Bradley fights, and I'm a Bradley fan.

                      Bradley as of right now is about equal to Floyd's Hatton win. Bradley will probably end up being a better win though, as I think Bradley will get more legit wins in his career.
