Floyd is still champ and still p4p in my book.

You're right, but he did fight a top 3 Jr. Middleweight in ODLH so I give him a pass on not fighting a top 5 WW.
Yes, he did. He beat Baldo, the Ring Magazine Champion (that means the best in the division) at WW.
Did you just start watching boxing last week?Comment

there is no current undisputed welter weight champ. none of the current welters have proven they can beat the others, other than margarito over cintron.Definition of Champion

n. 1. One who engages in any contest; especially one who in ancient times contended in single combat in behalf of another's honor or rights; or one who now acts or speaks in behalf of a person or a cause; a defender; an advocate; a hero.

v. t. 2. To furnish with a champion; to attend or defend as champion; to support or maintain; to protect
Floyd has openly turned down fights with the last #1 ranked welter weight and the current #1 ranked welter. then went as far as to say he is retiring. AND he has not defended against ANY of the top ranked welters, which is what you need to do to be considered a champion, according to webster.
Fight the top guys (not make excuses) and defend your championship.
Thank you Webster
whose the best is still a matter of opinion. cotto/fm could solve that and we may be able to throw pw in the mix if he KOS quintana impressively. if he merely squeaks out a decison as he did vs margarito then he will need to drop down to jr welter and enter the malignaggi, forbes, odh show down for the ages tournament....Comment

Don't ALL fighters do that? I thought Cotto was fighting Alfonso when Williams was calling him out. How about that? It happens. Let it go man, Floyd will probably be the first black fighter ever to retire undefeated. That's the one acomplishment he is in a position to do and no fighter ever done that. And he's no German boy who had his whole career tailor made. All his opponents were champions for some reason and THEY were the ones calling him out.Definition of Champion
