    After last sat... i'd say he is too, even though he is actually a natural WW right now.

    So even if Floyd schedules his next fight at lmw you'd consider him just a WW?

    Molina should be #1 because he really beat Lara and was schooling Kirkland before he got jobbed.

    I agree; he also arguably beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. twice, but the decisions are already set in stone. The kid has such bad luck.

    Once King Molina beats Ishe Smith he will belong in the talks.
    (But yeah... Dude has had it rough)

    154lbs runs thru Canelo in 2013.

    Mayweather has Oscar back from '07 and Cotto at the weight. Shallow.

    Alvarez has Trout as his defining weight and a plethora of other fighters which don't quite deserve the disrespect they get when considering the quantity of the challengers and the decisiveness they are beaten with. I think Alvarez clearly takes it here. Mayweather is #2 at JMW, and come May 6th his inactivity at the weight will force him out.

    I think if Floyd and canelo fight next then Floyd should be keeping his top spot because he's the favourite and already a belt holder in the division.

    I find it hard separating the two though it's why I made the thread.

    The guy who fights exclusively at the weight and has a recent win over Trout > the guy who only occasionally fights at the weight and has a recent win over Cotto.

    I reckon im convinced on the proviso Floyd doesn't fight at lmw next.

    I feel a guy who's unified 3 belts and beat the best available contender kinda deserves top spot. So as long as Floyd stays at 147 I'll consider canelo the big dog.

    Cheers guys.

    I just don't see Mayweather as a true LMW. Canelo it is for me.

    I guess if Floyd wanted to be a lmw he'd have made it known by now.
