    If that's the case then you do realize asking for extra drug testing has also been done in the sport before mayweather asked for it?

    Oh but it's mayweather the double standards are different.:patsch

    I guess if Williams wins against Martinez, then he shouldn't be considered a champion either, right?

    Pac is a legitimate 4 weight champion. It's still a record though.

    Of course not. Kind of like winning Welterweight belts at 145lbs.

    That is a

    catchweight also. However, Martizez won the title in a legit Middleweight fight. Pac and Margarito are fighting for a vacant title. still, what applies to one should apply to all, so yeah that shouldnt be for a title either. It should just be a 12 round fight that the winner will be assumed the best around the weight. I wouldnt argue Williams being ranked #1 at 160 even without the title if he was recognised that way. Bernard was ranked #1 at light heavy even without a title.

    I don't even consider titles when I judge a fighter's resume. That multiple weight division titlist thing is irrelevant to me. When Floyd beat Oscar for his 5th title, I didn't see it as Floyd being a legit LMW but rather beating someone significant to make a name for himself. Instead of chasing after meaningless titles Pac should be focused on the spirit of true competition rather than trying to so hard to please Arum.

    Yes we know he won't be a legitimate 8 weight world champion, we're not stupid.
