According to Websters dictionary. Floyd isnt the welter weight "champion"..

You say he turned down the #1 welterweights but, in truth, he didn't. The Ring #1 WW was Zab before he lost to Baldomir, who then became #1. Floyd fought them both back to back. Now Floyd is the #1 WW (and by #1 I mean the recognized champion).
He also defended against the former undefeated WBA Welterweight champion (remember that Hatton beat Collazo for his WBA strap and then vacated). So, he actually defended against another champion at the weight who had vacated his belt and not lost it in the ring.
So, what's your gripe again?
BTW, you're not a gangster unless your definition of a gangster is this:

Since Floyd beat Baldo for the WW championship, he hasnt defended it against a top ranked welter or even a ranked welter for that matter, or even a fighter that was campaining at welter. there fore by defintion he is not the champion.

He fought a DLH bigger than him in every aspect. You're gonna hold that against him because he fought a tougher challenge in DLH than any of the WWs at that time?Comment

I agree about fighting DLH twice, that's very ******, but other than that, you don't know **** about boxing. Get real. Who at the time was a tougher challange than DLH? Also, read what I say, Ricky was the highest ranked fighter in both LWW and WW at the time.Dela isnt a toughter challenge then the top welter weights. nor AT THAT TIME, that was just back in MAY..plus he fought HATTON WHO WASNT CAMPAINING AT WELTER, and who isnt tougher or better then any of the the top welters..Just ask Collazo . AND NOW DELA AGAIN?? wake up bozoComment
