While Cotto is taking care of the division...
...FLOYD HAVE NOT FOUGHT ANY OF THE TOP 5 WW TODAYS!:nonono:
ESPN TOP 10 WW:

3. Antonio Margarito- Cotto's next victim (July 26)
4. Shane Mosley- loss to Cotto
5. Carlos Quintana- got stop by Cotto in just 5 rounds!
6. Paul Williams loss To Quintana
7. Zab Judah- the only one Floyd defeated from this list and Cotto TKO him!
8. Joshua Clottey - loos to Tony
9. Kermit Cintron- got KO twiced Tony
10. Luis Collazo- loss to Mosley
earlier on 1st and 10 they spoke about the delahoya floyd rematch and both analyst (steven A smith and skip) agreed that floyd and delahoya should be fighting cotto instead of fighting eachother and that both of them did not want any part of cotto
in where any other legit sports organization would have either fined him or stripped him of the title. he's able to stay champ because this business is as corrupt as they come.
Well, truthfully, I can't argue with that. Ultimately, it's all about do-ray-mi money.
I will say that Mayweather should have already faced Cotto, Margarito, Cintron, Williams...well, before Williams lost anyway.
Sugar Ray Robinson would have.......unless, of course, they were Charlie Burley. :)
Nature of the damn beast in the modenr world, I suppose. It's more about money these days than proving you can put your "money" where youre mouth is.
Ehhh.
Mayweather beat Baldomir who beat Judah who beat Spinks who beat Mayorga who beat Forrest who beat Raul Frank for IBF recognition and Mosley for WBC recognition....thus being a unified titlist after the advancement of the last lineal Welterweight Champion, Felix Trinidad.
So......Mayweather is The Champion.

Although he isnt fighting the best... he is the most complete fighter in the sport IMO... he is the p4p best fighter, regardless of who he is, or is not fighting...
but of course id rather him fight the best ex. cotto, margarito, williams etc...
Cotto is definetly making a good arguement for himself....which is the whole point of boxing and a "championship"...duh.
Cotto is the man Floyd should face, no doubt; and after he beats Margarito, presuming he does.....he will. However, until he beats the man who beat the man who beat the man....he's next in line to "the man" and the man's name is Mayweather.
At least for the time being.
post:
Even w/ Floyd's layoff and few fights, he'd still be top 5 for accomplishments in WW; even if you want him to fight more he still is at #2 on the list behind Cotto.
I love how these lists all have Margarito at like #3; when in reality if you're going by what he's accomplished it puts him at like #5.
yeah thats ESPN my would be:
1. Cotto
2. Mosley
3. Quintana
4. Williams
5.Margarito
And then the others Floyd is not in my list cuz he havent fought a real WW since he judah in 2006:nonono:
