    And that is precisely the problem. This "humble god fearing fighter" who respects everyone just made a mockery of the sport and his fans are good with it. "He just went up to claim a title"? Since it was vacant and he fought an unranked jr. middle for that belt did you just admit that he is a cherry picker. Normally when you "claim" a belt, you defend it
    He made a mockery of the sport for claiming an 8th title? Ok there buddy.

    But to answer your question, yes he cherry picked that fight because the opportunity presented itself for him to be able to claim a title in a weight he's not comfortable in. He did, added to his legacy and now is back at welter.

    Not sure why he would have to face the middleweight champ when he's a welter. Perhaps people will claim for him to fight Bute, Klishko next

      Cause that's the only way you would have a point.
      He won a title in his last fight, not sure how you translate that to not being a 8 division titlist?

              The fight was bogus, the title if I'm not mistaken was one of the major titles in the sport and if that's the case it ain't bogus so he is an 8 division champ regardless of what people would say to discredit that.

                Well if your saying he won that title then he should defend it against the man that was wrongly stripped of it. End of conversation. This is not kickball this is boxing. You don't take the ball and go home you defend your position.

                  I agree with Sergio. He is the best right now. How many divisions you won a title in doesnt matter. Fighting the best in your division does and lets face it Pac and Floyd are not doing that and Sergio is.

                    I agree plus it was at a catchweight and Margarito wasnt even in the top 5 at the time

                      We all know that Manny already turned Martinez down so I say if Floyd doesn't accept the challenge then Martinez is #1 but let's get Floyd on record first. The dude has issues to attend to and deserves respect during the process but if he fights this year and says he won't fight Martinez after, Sergio becomes #1.
