    No, he didn't. He won the Super WBA LMW belt by beating Cotto. Also, the WBC Diamond title.

    Nobody gives a **** about belts when it gets to the level of Floyd and Pacquiao.

    People were bothered about Pacquiao trying to drain Cotto, the belt was irrelevant, as it was in the Floyd vs Cotto fight.

    Both were fantastic wins for Floyd and Pacquiao, top 3 career wins for both imo.

    Get over it.

    The 'diamond' belt is a joke in itself, and has little value. However so is the belt Saul Alvarez currently holds.

    Floyd is the title till he gets beat or retires

    True talk, it's why every one calls him out rather than PAC and why everyone wants to see him suffer a loss

    they weren't really fighting for it. THey were fighting for the WBA Super belt and the WBC just wanted to butt their head into the fight by offering their fake Diamond belt as well

    Belts are pretty much meaningless these days anyway.

    Everyone knows who the best fighters are.

    I thought the diamond belt was only for catchweight fights?

    I think boxalot is lying. Would love a source.

    No, he won the WBA Super belt, and the WBC diamond belt.

    HOWEVER

    I'm not sure about everyone else but Cotto was pretty much the consensus number ONE JMW in the world when Floyd fought him

    The WBC Belt floyd won against cotto was vacant

    The other 'genuine' WBC belt in the division, held by Saul Alvarez, was also won vacant, by beating Matthew Hatton

    So, regardless of the title, tell me which belt is garbage? Because I know beating Cotto for a vacant belt gives it more worth than beating M. Hatton for a vacant belt

    There either isn't a consensus beltholder / champ in the division

    Or it's Floyd

    I'm inclined to go with the champ spot vacant and Floyd as the number 1, Cotto at 2, Lara @ 3 and Alvarez 4.
