You know the only reason Floyd went to 147 was to chase a fight with De la hoya...
Floyd was about to leave the WW division after 1 fight. (Mitchell)
He was about to go straight to 154(where oscar was at) to fight Spinks....But the fight did not materialize because of lack of interest. and Spinks demanding to much.
So he decided to fight the Winner of the baldomir/Judah Fight which he thought ultimately would be Judah. In which he would set up a Big fight with Judah to see who was the baddest of their era...
Judah lost, but the fight still happen because of the fight still sparked alot of interest. After Judah. People try to discredit that win and said Floyd should of fought the man that beat Judah. So Floyd Decide to do so
So decided to fight Baldomir to see who the real welther weight champion was .a fight in which everybody thought would be his riskiest fight for the Lineal Welterweight title.
After that Fight, He got his dream Fight with Oscar De La Hoya.and then Retired.
But then Popular UNDEFEATED number # 6 p4p call him out to fight.
In which was going to be at 140. But Hatton didnt want to put up his belt. So the fight was place at 147.
So if you look at Sequences of events...You would know Floyd really never gave a **** about the WW division, He was first chasing Oscar....And then Could not pass up an Opportunity to Knock out a very popular undefeated fighter in Ricky Hatton.
