    When was the Corrales fight? When was the Castillo fight? I'm talking now that he is already the number 1 p4p. :yep

    Yes the top five fighters at welters rightnow. Cotto, Mosley, Cintron, Williams etc etc.

    Judah and Baldomir might be top 5 by then but these fighters are not serious threat skills wise.

    Point is he has to prove he's worth to be called no 1. :yep

    Fighters cannot chose all the time buddy. They have mandatories and they have responsibilities to the fans.

    If you are the number 1 fighter then you have the responsibility to prove you deserve that title otherwise you don't get respect just like what's happening to him rightnow.

    None of those guys have fought eachother. The only one Floyd had an opportunity to fight that he didn't capitalize on was recently with Shane.

    he gets respect but like ALL #1's there are some who say otherwise and you are Floyd's otherwise....i think he deserves it...acccomplishing what he has whether you like it or not he deserves and the only other to beat him out for #1 is B-Hop

    Why is it a prerequisite for these guys to fight each other first?

    Margo and Williams has just fought. Cintron wants Mosley. But it looks like Mosley is getting fighting Coto.

    These fighters wants to prove themselves and are willing to fight each other . . . now where's the no 1 fighter? :D See what I mean?

    The money a casino makes isn't enough for them to outbid what a fight in Wembley could make for the fighters.

    A fight in the UK would sell 70,000 to 90,000 tickets. Especially if it had a good undercard with someone like Khan or another big name fighter.

    I'm a Floyd fan but not a nuthugger. He became the no 1 P4P fighter by staying undefeated while getting 6 divisional titles. But he did that by making shortcuts. Fighting a few fights in a division then go up immediately to the next? :yep

    What else can he do now but to fight all these top 5 challengers and shut them up.

    I dont disagree but REALITY is this those top 5 wont be the same because they will lose, secondly if he was to fight all top five man that would take forever because they are ALL difficult matches im sure he will need time in between fights...which means others will fight which means rankings will change and SOME will be exposed for what they really are.....PBF is going to take on another P4P top ten who some say he should fight i think he should Hatton has been runnin his pie whole for a long time who wouldnt want to shut him up. I think PBF will fight these fighters but TIME has to take its course....5 top fighters come on...no way that happens within 2 years let alone 1 like so many are anxious to see him do..its like people want him to sign fights back to back to back...its just not gonna happen.

    When was it feasible for him to fight any of those guys, besides Shane?

    Of course he can . . . why not. It depends if they could strike an agreement. Problem is it's not gonna help PBF boost his stature at the top post. Just read this (taken as part of the article in ESB main page)

    Who's getting moire respect? Hatton is just a money fight and PBF has done noting recently to prove he is no 1. :yep

    Yes it might take forever but at least start a serious negotiation against one two of them. Instead of looking and negotiating for other fights. Has his team done that?

    Now! His fight with Hatton is not 100% yet. He can negotiate with Cintron or Williams if he's REALLY interested. He should forget about money now and do something that will inprove his image as the no 1 p4p.
