I forgot, that was a rhetorical question and being honest you'll probably take it literal.. the answer is no. It is not a debate.
I love how everyone is turning this around and saying that someone is the legitimate champion of a division their not even in, I suppose that D Haye is the Cruiserweight King?
Yeah, I can barely stand listening to what he says, never mind reading. I thought I'd address the "Cotto is 154 king" nonsense because, no doubt, it'll be what's used after May 5th is done with. You know, Floyd beating the number one junior middleweight bla bla bla.
A lot of people going out of their way to put Floyd down. I understand if some people don't regard Cotto as the best fighter at 154lbs. But he's the one with the best claim to be considered the better champ right now. I think he's the most proven and active champion in the weight division. Calling Cotto the 154lbs king is not nearly as bad as calling him undefeated. Floyd deserves credit for taking the fight at 154lbs.
Well, if Cotto is the number rated JMW, and the title of the fight is Ring Kings, then what's the problem?
kirkland you kiddin me. he gives a **** about kirkland, kirkland is litle known and brings litle money. for cotto he would go down immediatly and smash him.
But if he's the 154 lb king, he should be willing to fight any top 154 lber at that weight. He will only fight big fights there, because he'sa MW now. That's why he is the lineal MW champ, that's why he's been fighting at that weight for 3 years now.
wow at some of the posters in this thread *******s really dont pay attention to boxing besides Manny and Floyd
154 is unclaimed.. unless sergio moved down it's a king less divison... there are top guys but no one has really claimed KING yet... Cotto Kirk Molina Canelo LARA are the top guys but it's kingless divison
Who gives a **** what the fight is titled? He's a small JMW that's had at least 2 of his 3 fights in the division be carefully selected ones. And the other one was against a damaged, one-eyed man who everyone now knows was never in a state to even go a full 12 rounds. That doesn't make you the king of the division, my friend. 154 is up in the air. The best fighters in it haven't even been pitted against one another for there to be a definite number one spot to be given out. Not to mention, it's not even all that of a division. I mean, it can't be if a fighter who's had to be protected in it, is the supposed ****ing king . Ridiculous.
How can a fighter who is not even the third best welterweight at the moment be the number 1 at junior middleweight?
