he aint the best till he beat the best. he has to beat Cotto till he can say he the undisputed best. wha'ts so difficult to understand?
right now he is NOT the undisputed best. Cotto and Williams have plenty of supporters who say they are the best. only one way to be undisputed - fight and beat Cotto and WilliamsComment

Let me explain this for ou. Ricky was campaigning at JWW before the Mayweather fight right? When Ricky signed to fight Floyd it officialy meant he was campaigning as a WW, right? The WBC believed his rank would supercede all the others ranked in the WBC because of who he was as a fighter, got it? I am not saying I agree with that move but it is what it is.Comment

Floyd won the title in the ring. That's how you become a champion. Since you've clearly not been following boxing very long I'll go over this again.
Cory Spinks unified the welterweight title by beating Ricardo Mayorga in Dec. 2003. Spinks lost his title to Zab Judah in Feb. 2005. Judah then lost his linear title to Carlos Baldomir in Jan. 2006. Mayweather beat both Judah and Baldomir in 2006. He has since defended his title once while also claiming a belt at 154.
Now, I understand what you are trying to accomplish, but it's it doesn't serve a constructive purpose. True weight division titles are won and lost IN THE RING. If there is another fighter who you'd like to be champion who is not getting an opportunity to fight Mayweather (and trust me it's not because Mayweather thinks he's going to lose because Mayweather doesn't believe he will lose), then he should fight only top contenders and win EVERY single fight he is involved in.
If it's Margarito you're backing...he needs to start fighting better comp more often and stop losing meaningful fights. He's 2-2 in meaningful fights since Spinks unified the title. That's NOT impressive by any objective measure.
If you're a Cotto backer...your boy isn't far away from being a viable threat for Mayweather's crown. He's fighting Gomez which is an easy win that will also add to his box office appeal. He'll fight the Margarito-Cintron winner. Assuming Cotto has a good chin at 147, he'll win that high profile fight. Then he'll probably defend again before the year is over. All the while interest in a Mayweather-Cotto fight will build making both untold amounts of money.
Either way man, Mayweather won the title in the ring. In BOXING things get settled in the ring.Comment

Ricky Hatton was the linear champion at 140 because he beat Kostya Tszyu. Tszyu was past his prime, but DON'T tell me that you don't respect the he!! out of that win. Because if you do then you're killing the rest of your argument.
Second Hatton beat Luis Collazo at 147. Yes, it was a close fight. He BEAT Collazo. Margarito LOST to Paul Williams in his last meaningful fight at 147. Cotto's best wins are against Judah (lost twice in 2006) and Mosley lost his last meaningful fight at 147 5 YEARS AGO.
You're only pointing out facts that work for you and completely ignoring the ones that refute your argument. Be objective. Cotto is very good. Hopefully, he'll get the Mayweather fight after the love of money Mayweather-DLH rematch. Margarito on the other hand has A WHOLE LOT OF WORK TO DO before he should even seriously be considered. Wins over Cintron and Cotto would take him a long way...even though that's probably unlikely.Comment

Cotto and Williams supporters might say that they are the best, but Mayweather is the undisputed linear 147 lb. champion.he aint the best till he beat the best. he has to beat Cotto till he can say he the undisputed best. wha'ts so difficult to understand?
right now he is NOT the undisputed best. Cotto and Williams have plenty of supporters who say they are the best. only one way to be undisputed - fight and beat Cotto and Williams
I'll do this again. In Dec. 2003 Cory Spinks unified the 147 lb. title by beating Ricardo Mayorga. In Feb. 2005 Zab Judah took the title from Spinks by knocking him out. Judah lost his title to Baldomir in Jan. 2006 by decision. Mayweather beat Judah by decision in April 2006 and Bladomir in Nov. 2006. Therefore, Mayweather hold the undisputed linear 147 lb. title.
Don't you fu(kin' people follow boxing!?! This is about the 8th time I've done this in the four days I've been posting on this forum.Comment
