Yes, Paul Williams Cotto after he beat Mosely. That is what you when you on top, you take on everyone. One fight does not bump in the top 50. His resume is lacking above 135. -
Mayweather is the best boxer I have ever seen. I started watching since 1986. I can't evaluate those that I didn't see. I only see highlights and there have been some awesome fighters but how can I truly judge. I can only listen to historians. The historians love the older guys and demean a new generation.
Floyd is the best that I have seen because.
1. Great Defense
2. Great Offense
3. Great Chin
4. Great IQ
5. Great Toughness
6. Adaptable
7. Undefeated
8. Never been on his ass
9. Never been dominated
10. If you're a boxing coach you would teach your fighters to mimic Floyd in the ring.Comment

i think years from now floyd will be looked at in a much better light probably ranked higher as well. Its hard for me to rank him because his career isnt finished yet. Say he beats pac as easily as most of his other opponents then says fucc it and jumps up and beats andre ward (never happen) then what? So i'll wait a while. Its funny to me that out of the rich history of boxing and so many fighters that if floyd wasnt that great how come even his most ardent haters put him in the 50 and below club? Surely if he was just a fraud then he shouldnt crack the top 200. I believe its because for all the things you dont like about him and all the things you claim you "wish" he'd do, its very very hard to look at a resume like his and not think about where you'd rate your fav fighter if he had the same one.
For those who keep using the "diva" thing and dont like his attitude, here's a interesting vid comparing him and the great Ray...if you decide to watch the whole thing you might learn something :Comment
