    He's looked good against the competetion they given him.

    He also has pretty exciting style.

    I still can't say at this point, though.

    He needs to step up his competition for me to give a good guess.

              Erislandy Lara is a hungry fighter and possibly give him problems.

                Floyd moved up in weight and fought Gatti after Gatti was reborn with McGirt at the time. Gatti had a puncher's chance leading into the fight, but I agree, no one really gave him a shot.

                But Gatti isn't why Floyd became P4P #1.

                Are you really comparing Floyd's record leading up to Gatti against Canelo's current record?

                Let Canelo at least fight someone in his division or in a weight class bigger before making the Floyd being P4P #1 comparison.

                  I agree with you. He is the champ for a while and hasn't fought a decent fighter as of yet. I don't buy into the bs of him being too young, then he shouldn't be a champ.

                  GBP are doing a de-service to him in that they are not getting real competition that would make him dig inside of himself to win. Lets see who they will pick for him in his next fight

                    He's only 21 and improving with every fight, he's proved to be versatile and he's not getting knocked out by feather fisted Japanese journeymen

                      Probably because he's not fighting anyone worth a damn lol

                      The only reason he's improving is because his competition is getting crappier instead of better lol

                      Why would a guy with 42 fights be ducking someone with like 18 fights?

                      Why would you call this guy a "kid" and use his age as an excuse when he's calling out the top fighters in Pac and Mayweather?
