    Floyd's motive for moving up in weight was for money, and money alone. One day he's saying that a belt dont mean ****, then the next he's bragging about holding 5 titles in 5 different weight classes. He's constantly contradicting himself. Now do i think it was brave or cowardly to fight 1-2 weight classes above his natural weight? It was smart from a buisness point of view, but he opted to fight in a "cowardly" fashion. With the exception of a handfull of fans, NOBODY wants to see the "so-called" pfp champ pot-shotting his way to a victory. Fight fans want a champ who's gonna put it all on the line in order to win. As of lately, Floyd has been doing "just enough" to win. He calls himself the Best at 140, 147, and 154, yet he hasnt defended his title not ONCE since leaving 135. He has division hopped in order to face "less risk, high reward" opponents. Are those the charactaristics of a "real" champ?
    He moved up to 147 to face Judah...right? At the time, Judah was a legitimate, credible and linear champ. Right? Judah had a mandatory vs a lightly regarded Argentinian ( "Balthazar?")

    Judah lost to Baldomir. That was freaky. So PBF beats both Judah, and the guy that beat Judah. How is that belt-shopping?

    Please remember that Floyd left 140 less than two years ago. And when he was at 140, Hatton turned down the opportunity to fight him. Twice.

    Hatton said that he was moving back to 140 because he isn't a welter. Then you hear that he would fight Floyd or Oscar at 147. Know why? THE MONEY. Know why Spinks went to 160 for Taylor? THE MONEY. Know why Margarito was trying to get out of the Williams fight and wanted Cotto instead? THE MONEY.

    Is PBF often contradictory? ABSO-****ING-LUTELY. He talks a ridiculous amount of ****. But we are fans of a sport where guys are trying to cause temporary brain damage to each other. Are you THAT sensitive about what somebody SAYS?

          The thing is, that you hate him, and I respect his hustle. I don't love him.

          I don't "hate" any boxers (maybe Evander Holyfield, but that's personal).

          PBF is an ******* personally (or appears that way - never met him). PBF is damn near brilliant personally.

          Casamayor? I love that ****er.

            Judah didn't want none. That isn't Zab's kind of fight.

              Dont get me wrong, i respect his hustle as well, but what does it do for me, the fan? Absolutely nothing. I respect a fighter who has respect for the fans. Floyd hasnt shown that he respects the fans. Its obvious that its "all about him" Oh well, what can i do.

                I appreciate Floyd's boxing and I don't mind his personality. I know what to expect when I see him fight.

                  If PBF beat a "decent" Judah, then Cotto beat a version of Judah that was 15 months of inactivity worse. Soooo, let's not get too excited about Cotto until after November 10th. Remember, Migs has beaten nobody.

                  I agree that you have to BEAT the best to BE the best....

                  ...But Cotto, Shane, Cintron, Margarito, Hatton, etc don't exactly have sterling records vs top competition, either.
                  My friend I agree with mostly all your points. But I just think that Cotto is better than Hatton and if he beats Mosley then Mayweather should fight him because that is the best challenge available. Again, cotto has beaten some good fighters, but beating mosley puts him up there because there are not that many fighters at 140, 147 and 154, that are better that mosley. Now, there is nothing to take away from Mayweather if he chooses not to fight after hatton or the mosley/cotto winner.
