    All the talk on here today is about how Cotto is too small for 154 and should move back down to 147.

    Doesn't say much for floyd's belt @ 154.

    They were saying that he was too small for 147 and should move back to 140 as well. :lol:

    He would have to beat Canelo or Trout for a legit 154 belt which is probably not going to happen

    Floyd never said he wanted to be champion, he said he wanted to be special.



    ... Or was that Ray Leonard? :think

    TBH 99% of the belts are meaningless these days.

    Don't forget Floyd's first belt. Undersized Oscar had to move down as well :-(

    Floyd fought at the 154 Lbs limit twice and won the belt twice despite weighing in at 151 Lbs or less on both occasions and he beat opponents who actually held the title . (he was even drinking BEFORE the weigh in with Cotto)

    So I think his titles are pretty legit there.

    But he clearly isn't the force there that he is at 147, I dont think that should be a negative though.

    That's probably because Cotto was undefeated @ 140 as was Hatton too
    So it couldn't be left out of thinking what if he remained @ 140
    He and Pac would have probably met their or probably Hatton too :lol:
