This is a honest question Ive recently thought about and I really seriously want to know what you guys think. My question is what level is Floyd on? Is he on the elite level or has he earned the right to be considered the best of the best?
By this I mean everyone is saying that Floyd cannot be the man until he fights Cotto, Williams, and Margarito. However, what happened to the notion of guys having to fight eachother to get to the best? I personally think that Floyd has done enough in his career to call his own shots. He's a undefeated Champ with 6 titles in 5 divisions and is widely regarded as the P4P best. None of those WW's even come close to those accolades. My point is that I think Floyd has got to the level where they should have to fight eachother to get to him. He's not only the real WW Champ but even better he is the P4P champ. He's done it for years and now is in the late stage of his career.
Seriously, what has Cintron ever done to really deserve a Floyd fight? What has Clottey really ever done? Margarito? Williams? All those guys have ever done is been fortunate enough to be in the WW divison but they havent done anything near what Floyd has done to say they deserve a fight. Since when does beating Mathysee get you a fight with the best? Since when does having like 5 losses, recently losing to Williams & Santos, while only beating Clottey & a very green Cintron earn you the shot with the best? Since when does only beating Margarito make you the man to beat? Since when does getting destroyed by Margarito make you a threat to the best? Since when does losing to Margarito and getting tagged all day by a small Chico make you worthy? Im honestly not saying this to diss so dont come back at me hard but Im being real about it. Dont you think these guys should have to knock eachother off to get to Floyd?
Were judging Williams only by looks but he really hasnt done anything special to be able to jump straight to the elite of the game. The only guy who is close is Cotto but even he is far off. He's got some solid wins but he still hasnt beaten one guy who is near his age and was a real threat. I would really like to see him fight a Margarito, Williams, or Clottey to earn a shot at Floyd. Most of those guys are trying to be slick and not fight eachother so they wont lose before they get to Floyd and the public is dumb enough to allow it and say that Floyd must fight them. The only guy who has fought those guys are Margarito but he's the guy with the most losses, who recently just lost twice. Seriously, how come we ask Floyd to fight all of these guys right now without asking them to fight eachother? You talk about taking risk, Floyd has fought in 5 divisions against guys way bigger then him. All of these guys have been WW's there whole career and have fought everyone much smaller then them who are mostly all inferior
