    Glen Johnson had 9 losses when Roy fought em...Bernard fought someone with 6 losses...the losses don't mean anything.

    Baldomir beat Zab and Gatti and had the WBC welterweight title...and Floyd had the IBF because he beat Judah

        He already has respect but a win over Cotto or Pac would strengthen his resume...

            6 and 9 is not as much as 12....and rjj was no longer the top dog when gj fought him......baldo and gatti are some of the reasons why floyd gets criticised..

              Regardless of what anyone says...who was Floyd supposed to fight instead of Baldomir? Who was regarded as #1 at welterweight?

              And Gatti called Floyd out, and Gatti held a belt at 140 so Floyd obliged him...yea Gatti wasn't at his best but no1 expected the massacre that happened.

                      He would have been criticized if he didn't fight them as well. You must have seen the first Brian K interview when he kept bringing Baldo up. The truth is Floyd came into the WW division at a strange time. If Zab never dropped his belt to Tata we wouldn't be having this convo. Floyd did fight both witch was the right thing to do. After all this happened other players came to the table. Hater would make it look like those players were always there.
