Mayweather has never fought a REAL Welterweight

[Beercules]

Mosley was good enough for Manny to try to drain to 142.

Oh but what did Shane weigh in at? Was it 142?

[STREET CLEANER]

Maybe some LW and JrWW are not really that and have the ability and young enough to drian themselves when they are actually WW.

Well Mosley had just demolished the guy who demolished Cotto.

Pacquaio was the #1 ranked guy by The Ring Magazine but Mosley was the Lineal Champion (According to most).

There was nearly a year and a half between Mosley demolishing Margarito and fighting Floyd and because the Berto fight fell through, he didn't fight in between.

The Ring belt wasn't on the line when Mosley fought Margarito as Cotto was still ranked second. They didn't make an exception to let Mosley who was ranked 3rd or 4th at the time, fight for the belt. So he wasn't lineal by any means when Floyd fought him.

He beat cotto at 54 and canelo at 52 both above ww...How is he a fraud?

Ring and lineal are two different things.

Thread starter giving it his best shot at Floyd Hating...

Ortiz was 162lbs when he got in the ring against Berto.. he fought Floyd next.

Ortiz was 164 against Floyd, if I remember correctly.

[Holywarrior]

Yeah... I just watched Ortiz Berto on Tuesday when I hit the heavybag. Unbelievable fight... Manny Stewart OH MY GAAWWWWWD.

I watched Toney Jirov last night to the heavybag.

I like it, its good motivation... I rest when they rest, I work when they work, and I try to keep up with the tempo of the fight... Makes it fun.

My brothers and I would always box to Delahoya/Mosley and Tito vs Vargas

[The Gambler1981]

So this is how we judge who is a real welterweight now, if Floyd fights them they are clearly not a welterweight at least at that moment in time.

The guys Floyd didn't fight are the real welterweights.

Good reasoning, count me as on board lol.
