    Then why is it that great fighters are usually the only ones who succeed when they do move up? Sugar Ray Leonard...Roberto Duran...Oscar De La Hoya.

    Staying at one division you just stomp all the young guys coming up who have less experience than you. Look at Bernard Hopkins. He cleaned out the division. Ivan Calderon cleaned out 105 pound division.

      What? Cmon, the WW division is loaded with talent right now. You got Cotto, Mosley, Williams, Cintron, Clottey, Margarito. You telling me that Floyd would get less credit for cleaning out this division, than he would for division hopping/cherry picking?

          I agree that division hopping is tough but deevel79 you absolutely correct. There is basically no fight out there that can get PBF more respect than cleaning out the welter weight division. Its just to many solid to damn near great welter weights for PBF to be jumping around. All his competition is at 147.

            If some of you are saying that Floyd is ducking you should apply the same logic for Cotto not fighting Williams after he defeated Magorito. Some of are presenting a double standard. Wasnt Cotto supposed to fight the winner of Williams and Margorito. So why is Floyd getting all of this bull**** and Cotto gets a pass. That is a double standard IMO.

                You weren't talking about just the welterweight division. You mentioned 140 and 154 as well. Margarito sucks. Clottey has to wait for his shot. Whoever is still standing Floyd should fight.
