Should Floyd be stripped of his WW title/s?

[Ray*]

when was the baldomir fight again? if he hasnt fought anyone at 147 in 2 years yes....but i just fought hatton at 147 so i could careless.

Are u saying that its ok to win a title, then refuse to defend it?

Ask yourself this question. If Hatton had beaten Floyd would he than be the WBC WW title holder? People these days.

Just because Ricky was given the decision, doesnt mean he won the fight. In my eyes, and in the eyes of many other fans, he did not win a title at 147 already. As for your comparison to Bhop defending against Oscar....Oscar's physique was more suited for 154, than Hattons is for 147. Its obvious that Hatton is NOT a better fighter at 147, than he is at 140. Why do u think he went back down. Oscar on the other hand has never fought again under 154. Answer this. Floyd has publically stated that he has no interest in fighting any WW's. Should he still be able to hold on to the titles, even though he has no intentions of facing another WW?

Revisionist in the making. Oscar is NOT better at 160 than he is at 154. The title defense is STILL legitimate though because if Oscar won, he would have been the champion. Floyd JUST defended HIS WW title 6 weeks ago so NO he should not be stripped. Look at you grasping at straws again, some people never let things go.

Yes, legally, he does not need to defend against someone in his own weight division. But given his pfp#1 status, and claim to be the best to ever lace them up, do u think its a bit of a stretch for us fans to ask for him to face someone who is in the same division that he holds the titles to?

Look at you grasping at straws. Hatton was higher on the consensus p4p list than anyone at WW and has won a title at the weight. He WON the fight, although he did not do it in impressive fashion he did WIN the fight to get his belt. Hatton was one of the fighters that people picked to beat Floyd and once Floyd trashes him he isn't a viable opponent anymore? Please cease the B.S. you look foolish with every post.

So why is everyone criticizing Floyd for operating in the rules when they should be criticizing the sanctioning bodies for allowing this kind of **** to happen?

couldnt of said it any better... this is the REAL problem.. not floyd... floyd is operating within the rules.

[THE REED]

I personally am not criticizing him.....I just think he should have been stripped so should have Oscar. It is the sanctioning bodies fault no doubt. But they tend to show favortism to guys of their stature which really isn't fair. The rules should be the same for anyone holding one of the meaningless for the most part belts.

What it is.... WBC knows floyd is there meal ticket.. oscar tooo.. thats why they let them do it...

[THE REED]

And another things.... Oscar is THE most accomplished active fighter in the sport RIGHT now... aside from maybe 2 others....

Beating oscar, TWICE, even at 34... is a bigger addition to your resume then beating cotto RIGHT NOW...

If cotto is really what we think he is.. he will continue to win.. continue to beat other top competition.. and then cotto will bring more money, and more acccomplishments, when he finally does meet floyd in the ring.

Not #1 and he shouldn't have been at WW he had moved back down to 140. why should he be ranked in both divisions?

He wasn't ranked in both divisions. When Ricky signed to fight Floyd he officially became a WW and than the WBC, realizing he was probably the best ranked fighter, ranked him above Berto as the number 1 contender.

im glad to see common sense has appeared in this thread. took long enough. these haters are crazy kid

[Ray Ray]

Since beating Carlos Baldomir for the crown, Mayweather hasn’t defended his title/s against one single welterweight contender to date. Now he is scheduled to face Oscar in Sept. So, should he be allowed to hold on to his titles/belts as if they were superbowl rings, or should he be stripped due to the fact that he is refusing to defend them against his #1 contender, or any other WW for the matter? Vote!
