    If he had faced one of the title holders, they wouldn't be title holders anymore.

    Baldomir had the WBC WW strap and Judah the IBF one

    Lets not play this game. This can be said about nearly every top P4P fighter on the list and most top fighters at their weight class.

    He has beat two title holders: Baldomir and Judah. Won the WBC, IBF and RIng/Lineal title.

    :huh

    Mayweather became Welterweight champ in April 2006.

    Cotto didn't become champ until December 2006.

    Williams wasn't champ until July 2007.

    And Cintron didn't become champ until October 2006....

    So Mayweather was THE #1 before these boys even became title holders. Sorry. :hi:

    It's what I like to call, "a clutching at straws" argument. And is in the same vein as "PBF is a runner"...

    Such attacks are actually VINDICATION to Floyd and his fans. For when the guy is 39-0 (25 KOs) and a 6 time world champ across 5 weight divisions... There is LITERALLY nothing they can argue against Floyd (except for these, as I said, "clutching at straws" arguments; such as PBF is not #1 at 147, or PBF is runner; both of which makes NO sense)
