      He won them legitimately by beating the title holders in the ring...its pretty simple...Cotto and Canelo

      It wasn't no Leonard vs LaLonde going on....making the champ come down 7 pounds to fight for belts at 168(newly created or vacated I believe) and 175


      DLH fought Hopkins at 156, Cotto vs Martinez was a catchweight and both were for legit lineal titles

      Not the first catchweight, wont be the last....dude outweighed him by almost 20 pounds fightnight

      Canelo agreed to the catchweight, weighed 153 in his prior fight so how is it not legit and he dominated the kid

      The only thing corrupt about the fight was CJ Ross' scorecard

        The catchweight is irrelevant

        The issue is that most other boxers would be stripped of titles if they tried to do what Floyd has done. You need money if you want to have unified titles in two divisions, and keep them without having mandatories thrown at you.

          Non is legit because its Floyd and this is Boxing Scene the home of biased gossip feeding the biggest bunch of hating fanboys anywhere on the net , here you will find the most biased group of flip floppers anywhere , the worst crime inflicted on the grand sport of boxing by this bunch of children is they are so boxing ignorant , total dunderheads when it comes to the fight game , in the real world with real people you would not give them the time of day .

                  you do know that tony canzoneri and barney ross fought for two titles at one time for two different weight classes right?


                  If a fighter can make the weight and holds the titles he should be able to defend simaltaneously

                      The WBC and WBA have not enforced their mandatories on Floyd, nor have stripped him for not taking them, hence he still is unified in two divisions. It's not because of his skill, its because of corruption.

                      Theres a million ways to praise Floyd for his skills, because he is an ATG fighter. But saying hes great because hes managed to be unified in two divisions at one time, is a bad way to go about it.
