Are you ****** the number 1 and 2 best fighters in the world in the same damn division but you think the organizations never felt either guy was the number 1 ranked fighter to challenge each other. They were never officially mandated because the belt organizations were/are frauds and the moment you tell Floyd you either fight Manny or we strip your belt or vice versa to Manny what do you think either guy would of done? They would of thrown the belt in the trash! Both guys were dug in or numerous reasons for why the fight was not happening. They were NEVER mandated because everyone including the belt organizations knew these 2 fighters are bigger then our belts and this fight will only happen if they agree on it not because we mandate it and if we do it blows up in our faces and we lose them as the champion of our belt.
Floyd held a belt at 154 that he won at catchweight of 152 which had a mandatory challenger set before he won the belt just like Canelo before he beat Cotto. But mysteriously this was NEVER enforced and Floyd ended up keeping this belt for 2 years NEVER defending it against ANY mandatory 154lb fighter and had unlimited voluntary defenses of this 154 belt exclusively fought at 147.
