Name all the fighters from Floyds era

[Lords]

Cotto should have fought a Mosley rematch but ducked it for Margarito.

Why should he have fought Mosley when Margarito was they guy everyone was avoiding and talking about? Basically you're saying he should have pu$$ed out and took the easy way out. Thats the problem in todays boxing, fighers being pu$$y and avoiding the big fights.

[IronDanHamza]

Don't blame me if you don't know the difference between #1 and Champion.

Words do matter.

But I agree with you. Cotto should've used Floyd's logic ducked #4 Margarito for #1 JMW Cory Spinks and won his a title in his 3rd weight class.

Definitely a Mayweather "I'm my own boss" move.

The Champion is obviously #1. That goes without saying.

Then their list goes from #1-#10 after the Champion.

I.e when Pacquaio beat Bradley he was ranked #1 but Mayweather was the Champion.

[Chollo Vista]

Gatti was #1 whilst Tszyu was Champion not Hatton.

This is incorrect, my friend.

Hatton fought Kosta June 5th 2005 making him the Champ. Floyd fought Gatti June 25th 2005, making Gatti #1 like I just said

2005
Ricky Hatton, Champion
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Miguel Cotto
Kostya Tszyu
Jose Luis Castillo
Junior Witter
Carlos Maussa
Arturo Gatti
Vivian Harris
DeMarcus Corley
Lovemore N'dou

Still ranked #1 though. Champion is #1 obviously and then after that it goes #1 to #10 after that

.

Now you're trying to blur the lines.

Champion is Champion.

#1 is #1. There's a difference.

Baldomir was The Ring Champion so obviously #1 in that division.

Once again, Baldomir was Champ and Margarito was #1. How many times do I have to post the Ring rankings for you guys?

Baldomir was champ, like Hatton was Champ when Floyd fought Gatti.

Margarito was #1, like Gatti was #1 when Floyd fought him.

See the difference?

[Chollo Vista]

The Champion is obviously #1. That goes without saying.

Then their list goes from #1-#10 after the Champion.

I.e when Pacquaio beat Bradley he was ranked #1 but Mayweather was the Champion.

Again, Margarito was always #1. Baldomir went from Ring #10 to Ring Champion. How do you not understand the difference:


2005
Zab Judah, Champion
Antonio Margarito
Cory Spinks
Shane Mosley
Luis Collazo
Thomas Damgaard
Kermit Cintron
Jose Antonio Rivera
Oktay Urkal
David Estrada
Carlos Manuel Baldomir

2006
Floyd Mayweather Jr., Champion
Antonio Margarito
Carlos Manuel Baldomir
Miguel Cotto
Zab Judah
Luis Collazo
Kermit Cintron
Oktay Urkal
Arturo Gatti
Paul Williams
Joshua Clottey

Easy way out? He just had a razor thin win against Mosley in an either way fight.

He chose Margarito because at the time it was seen as an easier fight. Cotto was a big favourite to win the Margarito fight.

No the Champion is #1, obviously.

Then it goes from #1-10 outside of the Champion

Baldomir was the Champion I.e #1 in the division.

IronDan, if you want to use semantics then be my guest. If you want to go off how The Ring ranks fighters:

Champion=Champion
#1=#1
#2=#2

Theoretically, what you're saying is if Champion is #1, then #1 is #2... If that's the case, then #10 is really #11.... If that's the case then annually boxrec doesn't post Top 10 rankings; in reality they post Top 11 rankings.

Let's look at what you're saying:

Champion = #1

#1=#2
#2=#3
#10=#11

Correct?

The Ring publishes the Top 11 rankings annually.

[Chollo Vista]

Easy way out? He just had a razor thin win against Mosley in an either way fight.

He chose Margarito because at the time it was seen as an easier fight. Cotto was a big favourite to win the Margarito fight.

This idiot doesn't have a clue.

We may disagree in this thread, but I think we can all agree on this.

Can you please tell Robbie Barrett that in 2008, Shane Mosley was NEVER looked at as a bigger threat than Margarito?

Damn, Robbie, did you just start watching the sport yesterday? I might have to sig this

Essentially yeah that's what it is when there is a Champion.

They have to start from #1 after the Champion because there isn't always a Champion. So some years yeah it's a Top 11.

Obviously THE CHAMPION is #1 because he's the champion. That's common sense.

When there's a Champion the #1 is essentially #2. Out of the 10 #1's Floyd beat in the division being fought in. Gatti was the only one that was #1 on a technicality. The rest were the highest ranked fighter in the divison being fought it unless it was Floyd himself.

Cotto was lucky to get the decision against Mosley and Cotto was a big favourite over Margarito. Of course Mosley was seen as a bigger threat.

Doesn't boxrec tell you that?
