Why is Floyd in the top 5 at WW?

[Glamour Puss]

When he never beat a top 5 or even top 10 WW for that matter.

Carlos Baldomir was a fluke and everyone knows it.

Until Floyd fights and beats a legit top 5 WW it should look like this:

1)Mosley
2)Margarito
3)Cotto
4)Clottey
5)Cintron/Williams (if they're at 47' at the time)

[Grand Champ]

Because he dominated a lightweight... DOOOOH!!!

Because most boxer's will admit that he has the most talent. He's a cherry picker but almost any pro boxer will tell you that he's in the top three. Only haters refuse to admit it.

Baldomir and Judah were in the top 10 at welterweight when Floyd fought them...and Judah is ranked #3 by the WBA...

Yeah and why does Shane want to fight a WW who isn't ranked in the top 5?

I don't think Baldomir was necessarily a fluke.. but it was years ago and he wasn't particularly special. Here's a similar topic I made that had a lot of interesting info on the subject:

rankings don't mean crap anymore to Floyd!!! he can fight whomever he wants now and you can take that to the bank!
