Does Floyd deserve to be #1 lb for lb?

[GunStar]

Yet Oscar aint no lb for lbder. Lb for lb change with every win or loss. I guess the question is what have you done lately? What has PBF done lately? Nobody has answered that question because he really aint done ****. How long has it been? How long will it take?
On the real though, I wouldn't be surprised if PBF got beat. There are fighters out there that have shown to give PBF trouble. Againts Castillo, some people say he lost. He is in a different ball game at this weight.

Oscar did lose to Hopkins, got a gift against Sturm, lost to Mosley in his last 3 fights. This is the reason he's not in the P4P list.

If Mayweather loses, he will also not be in, that's just the way it goes. PBF will be #1 until he loses & rightfully so. Hopkins was #1, is he in Top 10 anymore, because he lost his last 2 fights to Taylor.

Well I guess thats how people think because Floyd is #1 in most lists. The thing is, you can't keep on fighting easy fights. Floyd needs to fight Hatton or someone on the lb for lb list. How can you loose when all you fight are people you are most likely to beat? I'm not talking about the past when he was 130-5, Im talking about 140-7

In my opinion Hatton, Cotto or Margarito is not harder fights then Zab & Oscar. I think PBF will beat all of them if his head is in the game.

Then again, it is all speculation with no proof. Hatton is undefeated and beat Kostya who was a lb for lber. Zab is a good fighter but common man.

he doesnt want easy fights!
he signed with zab, zab then lost, so floyd offered tony, tony denied, hatton wants more time to expose himself in the us and cotto is busy mediocre opponents

It's no speculation, I just don't see Hatton, Cotto or Margarito beating PBF. Zab can be extremely dangerous, he's fast & he can punch very hard. Also Oscar is bigger then any of those guy you mentioned & he's also a better boxer then those guys.

Yes he is #1 as most boxing sites say. They have their criteria to say this and I have to agree with them. But I do agree with you, floyd has to prove this by fighting top caliber fighters. He may fight cotto, hatton, castillo again, or even winky or hoya. Damn, floyd so many fighters to chose from.

[Alibata]

Thats ok, I just have a diffent opinion. Of the fighters mentioned I think Hatton and Margarito have a really good chance. I think DLH is too big, too strong but maybe too old, I still think he might win though. Cotto needs to show me more, don't think he can beat PBF from what I've seen. All I can say to Zab is good luck man, you got some people believin in you out there.

You can pretty much be sure Hoya/ PBF will get done if DLH comes through with his offer. Getting to fight Hoya is like hitting the lottery.

I for one think Floyd is probably the most skilled fighter in the world today, but his failure to fight the best at his current and last division have me questioning his status in most lb for lb lists. No doubt Floyd was the best at 130 and 135 but he is now a welter weight. Is he as fast, as strong, or as durable at this weight as he was at his previous weights(130-35)? Is he the best fighter in the world at this weight? I think most lists that have him #1 are speculatory. He needs to proove himself.

Who do you think should be #1 then?
