It just proves how young/weak the 154lb division is. Two top WWs come in and almost automatically take the top spots because of their history. Mayweather has messed up the flow of everything. As soon as he came in, the division became all about him. You got GBP gearing their baby boy in Floyd's direction without fighting any of the other contenders first.
My top 10 in no order:
Mayweather, Cotto, Canelo, K9, Lara, Molina, Vanes, Kirkland, Trout, Angulo
In order for a tight lineage to be established, these guys need to go at it, and we've had numerous match-ups with these guys already. So it's not for lack of trying. The issue is, Canelo is treated like he's above everyone else, not because of his quality of opposition, but because he's being developed into the new superstar. So naturally, everyone else (except for Cotto and Floyd) takes a back seat. Canelo is #3 because of the circumstances. He hasn't proved he's better than any of the other guys, cuz he hasn't FOUGHT them.
