Floyd Mayweather Jr. Still The WBC Champ, For Now

[Cabannaro]

Hatton is not a Welterweight....

He was rated as WBC#1 in WW ratings. Rightfully because he fought against WW titlist successfully before. Any way, technically he was a rated WW, so there is no problem with formal requirements.

He was ranked at 140-pounds, not 147. He was never ranked at 1 in the WBC 140-pound rankings at the time either, not that it matters because it wasn't the same weight class. Please find me the ranking cards that state otherwise.

What are you talking about? Hatton was rated as #1 right before the fight

Can u please explain how Hatton AUTOMATICALLY became the #1 ranked WW after fighting Collazo, when Collazo wasnt even ranked in the top 3 at the time.

Mayweather sold himself to the lime light, he lost the aggressiveness to be the best competitor to money and nothing more. he doesn't plan on fighting long and that much I can see but I don't appreciate him prolonging his title reign for longer than what it could have been had he actually fought some fights. you can only dance with stars and punch giants but for so long before you have to face real opposition. he has the talent to beat them all but question is does he have the drive to do it, is he still that much focused on his boxing more so than just money and fame? see Floyd is the best skillwise but having the skills isn't what makes you #1, displaying your skills against top level, top 5 opposition in your class and continuously winning makes you #1 and Floyd hasn't been doing that.

he wants Oscar solely for money and lets just say Oscar beats Floyd this time, then what? another Oscar fight, then what? another Ricky Hatton fight, then what? well nobody will probably care by 2010 so it wont matter what. bottomline is Floyd lets money dictate his moves, he no longer focuses on beating the best but beating those who can present a bigger paycheck, that will cost him. he'd rather give up a belt than fight a quality, young and hungry fighter who's only looking for the same chance given to him by Genaro Hernandez and most recently Carlos Baldomir. he would rather lose a championship title for the sake of not fighting a big money fight? that sounds like a spoiled fighter to me, that **** is going to come back on him soon so he better regain his focus and realize people pay for fights and he isn't giving people what they want. 100

Hatton is not a Welterweight....

Neither is Floyd..

[pugil1st]

The original story never said he was being stripped. It said he was voluntarily vacating the title. AND, the story was re-posted on dozens of forums, "check out the facts" by running a google search on the story. The original news brief was based on a "newspaper" report with the information provided to them by Andre Berto's trainer.

It was wrong and no other major forum posted it. At least not the ones that I subscribe to.

Andre Berto's trainer? Give me a break.

Easily.

Currently Collazo is WBC#3, he IS top-3 in WBC rating.

Neither Cosme Rivera, nor David Estrada, nor Michael Trabant are ranked even in the top 5 this time. Estrada is #9, others are just out of top-40. Nonetheless Berto is ranked #1 already. So Hatton had more rights to be #1 than Berto has.

Just get over it
