Floyd 20 year dominance made an entire era look "weak".

Prime Margarito that got KO'd by Mosley? Who Mayweather fought. I'm not glossing over anything i'm telling you facts. Mosley was viewed as one of the best in the world and people thought Mayweather would avoid him. Mayweather fought him and then ******s like you decided to call it a cherry pick.

Here's a good thread for you.

Mayweather made an hit list of fighters that people said he wouldn't do, he fought them all back to back, apart from Pacquiao who turned down a 50/50 offer over drug testing. Cherry picking though.

oh yeah he fought 'em back to back, after a 2 year "retirement" and those guys sparking each other out...

shame oldsley was so old that he needed a walking stick to get to the ring...lol

P4P is who people view as the best fighters in the world. It doesn't mean anything?

"Fighting a fighter viewed as one of the top 3 in the entire sport doesn't mean anything"

You look at the hit list thread ******?

Not really. It hasn't even been around that long. it's more politics than anything anyway. You're just going by modern consensus BS. In the old days, there was no pound for pound and it is worthless. How can it even be proven? Most of the guys on the list can't fight each other. It's as bad as mythical match-ups. A lot of hot air with no evidence of anything. By your own logic, it must not mean anything since GGG obviously sucks in your opinion. He's about at number three now. Does it really mean anything now? Yeah, only when it suits you.

The Shane Mosley Pacquiao ducked because he was "too good"?

Haha. And why did he take that retirement? Hhmm....

A lot of rose colored glasses on around here for Mayweather.

Mosley was the #1 WW ahead of Pacquiao. Doesn't mean anything though.

All rankings are opinions.

Mosley's best times were long before Mayweather. You know it but you'll try to fall back on rankings. Whatever. Cotto became the number one middleweight by beating a guy with no legs. No. Rankings don't always tell the whole story. Neither does Boxrec. Dunth.

I don't have to agree with the rankings. Golovkin is viewed as a top P4P just like Mosley was. That's a fact.

too good against who? vargas, margarito & mayorga? the flat foot pack? oldsley could still wind it up against that type of fighter... don't play yourself

It's a fact that the rankings read that way. Sure. Still, you yourself discredit them except when it comes to Mosley vs. Mayweather. Dunth.

At the time before the fight Mosley was viewed as a massive threat. It doesn't matter what happened after, he deserves credit for taking the fight against the guy that was viewed as a top fighter.


Opinions don't matter.
Rankings don't matter.

How do you know who the top fighters in the sport ******? Your opinion doesn't matter.
