I can understand when people say that Floyd is NOT the top welterweight today, when to be absolutely 100% spot on, he hasn't earned it yet. He beat Hatton who is a true Jnr Welterweight, but that doesn't make him the top welterweight when he hasn't fought one legitimate world class welterweight yet.
Before he can be crowned with that title he'll need to beat at least one or two of the top guys like Cotto, Williams or Cintron. Unfortuately Mayweathers career is alot like Roy Jones Jr's where he carefully picks and chooses his fights.
Nothing wrong with this because you can't blame a fighter for maximizing his place at the top where the big money is but we shouldn't confuse the fact that the business of boxing has created this issue where we have 4 or 5 champions in each weight class each saying they're the " World Champion" then fighting bums to pad their record and making big bucks for them and the phoney boxing organizations they represent what do we have now, WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF??
