154 lb champion

[Vasyl’s dad]

Who did Floyd beat to deserve a shot at the jr. middleweight title?


and why was it against a guy who had only fought one time in 2006 and never once in 2005?

Getting title shots against part time fighters is what one approves of?

floyd was the best at 147. oscar was the best at 154. only made sense. why not

Why the **** I wanna be like you Shane Mosley? When everybody wanna be the, the, the Uno.

Alphabet tiles don't mean ****.

But De La Hoya won it from Mayorga and Mayweather was the Ring/lineal and almost Undisputed Champion at 147 (if everything was on the up and up, which it rarely is).After you're that, you deserve a shot at a title in the next weight class up.

Based on what?

Neither guy made one single defense of their belt before they fought each other.

Oscar beat Mayorga, then faced Floyd.

Floyd beat Baldomir, then faced Oscar.

De La Hoya earned it by knocking Mayorga out, and Floyd earned a shot at that title by becoming the #1 WW, and p4p king.

What boxing organization gave them that?

Did he have to pay fees for it?

Not every defense has to be mandatory. That fight already had a lot of hype behind it beforehand anyways.

But to answer your question, Floyd was the WBC champion at WW and when you move up, you earn a mandatory shot at the champion in the higher weight class. For example, Campbell owned the WBO LW title and when he moved up to JWW, he became the mandatory for Tim Bradley's WBO JWW title without fighting in the weight class a single time. That's just how it works.

then if floyd didnt fight him you would be all over him FLOYD DUCKED OSCAR!

[Bushbaby]

Please,Oscar was a champ at 154,Margarito isn't & wasn't ever **** at 154!!There was no catchweight,Floyd came in under weight & pulled out a victory!!Manny is fighting a nobody at a catchweight for the title,this isn't even a legit comparison,do some homework before u post nonsense!!& I'm a fan of Pacman's & I don't really even like Floyd,but the truth is the truth!!
