        You can be an a ATG in many ways. Ppl nowadays put too much importance to title defenses, unifying this and that, 2 time champ BS and all that garbage to me is just to excuse a lacked resume. It’s really all about who you fight

          From the post:

          "Just giving *****s something to chew on:
          He opted not to fight Joel Casamayor. He then moved to lightweight and won the WBC in controversial fashion (he lost) against Castillo and decided to defend it against a C level fighter in Victoriano Sosa and Phillip Ndou instead of unifying with a Paul Spadafora or a Leonard Doroftei and then instead of facing the newly crowned Juan Diaz he jumped to 140 and took on DeMarcus Corley again winning the WBC strap and this is when he seems to have gotten real cautious. Instead of unifying with Kostya Tszyu or Vivian Harris or Miguel Cotto he opted to defend against truly C level fighters, a dude named Henry Bruseles and a totally washed up Arturo Gatti-Floyd won the IBF off of Zab who was coming off an embarrassing loss to Carlos Baldomir and then took the WBC from Baldomir, then took the WBC Jr Middleweight title from De La Hoya, a belt he never defended, vacated and went back on to unify against Paul Williams or Antonio Margarito or Kermit Cintron or Miguel Cotto? Nope, he defended against Ricky Hatton and then vacated his belt and took a year and a half hiatus;Upon his return, Floyd won the WBC title against Victor Ortiz and then vacated, won the WBA 154 pound title finally against Cotto then vacated it and moved back down to 147. Again took the WBC strap from Robert Guerrero and then instead of unifying he went back to 154 to fight Canelo. Took his WBC strap and vacated that. Went back down to 47 and did unify the WBA belt from Marcos Maidana and then took the WBO against Pacquiao. Leaving just the IBF and a mega fight with Kell Brook, and Mayweather opted and for no reason, in particular, to take on Andre Berto. Then retired for 2 years again and returned to fight some guy with zero fights.
          So if he can never claim to have been the undisputed man in any weight class ever, how can he claim to be self proclaimed TBE? "

            Why do I get the feeling this thread is really about the fact that Canelo Alvarez has been criticized for not unifying titles enough and not making enough title defenses?

                IF, that is true... then it is a fair/valid point... because it is exactly the same

                  1-Floyd did not beat Corley for a title..he beat Gatti for the title
                  2-Juan Diaz??? what?
                  3-After he beat Ortiz HE DID NOT VACATE..

                  where are you getting this horrible info?
