    considering that since he won the title, he has yet to face any ww contenders.

    winning the title is not validating. validation is gained by successfully defending it.

    I dont believe he has validated it. He won the title from a journeyman in Carlos Baldomir who won the belt from a very lazy, and uninspired Zab Judah.

    So technically, he hasnt defended it against a legitimate welterweight. Regardless, him beating DLH and Hatton counts for something.

    Are you incapable of answering a simple question w/o going all drama queen or something?

    No because he posted something stupid in another topic.

    Regardless of if he posted something stupid in another topic, he still asked a legitimate question. whatever his stupid post was has no relevance to his question. they should be treated completely independent of eachother.

    until there is 1 organization enforcing mandatories and controlling the championship, in my eyes the man is the man until he gets beaten or until someone else unifies all belts.

    hence, PBF is the top WW.

    Ok...my bad.

    My opinion....he may be the WW champ, but he sure isn't establishing himself as a dominant WW. His reign @ WW, if he doesn't fight some other top contenders, will likely be seen as merely average.

    the "stupid post" was where i addressed his belief that cotto needed more star power before he faced pbf.

    We can only assume that he is getting some sort of paycheck from Floyd. Afterall, he's only of the many that seem to be looking out for Floyd's pockets rather than his legacy.

    and by rating it average, imo you are being very kind. right now his 147 career is average at best. his reign is **** poor. he has defended the title once, against a fighter coming up in weight, who in his only other fight at the weight class looked terrible against a second tier fighter.
