    I'm one of the ones that's much more pleased with this Baldomir fight being made, in light of speculation of a fight with Spinks..

    On to the other point i wanted to make about this thread, regardless of whether or not the "top" competition "doesnt want to fight him or has some other excuse", he still hasn't fought them yet, in otherwords, if you're putting Mayweather ahead of Wright P4P wise at this point, it's basically on speculation alone (or your just a Mayweather-head).
    Marg is younger I'll give you that. I'm not so sure about the quicker part. They would have to fight because its really hard to judge they are both kind of slow if you ask me.

    I have Floyd my #1 P4P not based off competition that he has faced but the fact that he is the true defenition of the word. He is a natural 135lb beating guys who out weigh him by as much as 10 pounds or more come fight night when he fights Baldi it could be 15-20. Winky still has to prove he can beat taylor convincingly at 160. for me P4P meant a guy who was good no matter what weight he was at. I had Floyd ahead of Hopkins just based off of that. I had RJJ and Oscar up there based on that I had SRL based on that. If you dont have a guy that is like those fighters who move up in weight and fight the guys who will fight him at those weight classes then you have to go by Talent and speculation alone. That's just how I feel about it.

      To Blackwallstreet:

      i've seen the interviews too, they don't give you any of the details of any offers, and the time Team Hatton said they didn't want to fight him he was moving up to a new weight and going to the US.

      I wouldn't blame Floyd for not wanting to have his first fight at welterweight against Hatton in Manchester, and vice versa.

      Added to this I've always believed that the challenger (Floyd) should fight away from home and give up at least half of the purse to get his shot. You got any evidence that Floyd did this when Hatton was undisputed champ at 140. I doubt it, so blaming Hatton is silly.

      I'm all for Floyd's P4P status, and I've no time for alphabets, but when Hatton is the top dog at 140 the fight should be on his terms more or less, like at 147 once Floyd has beaten Baldi he'll be in the posittion to call the shots at welter.
