    I dont think anyone has issue with his talents, but look at it this way. Name your top ten 140-147 fighters ever, then check their career record at the age of 31 (Mayweathers age this year). You may well notice a massive difference in opposition against Mayweather's name.

    Let's all settle on something. I am a Floyd fan too but until that guy takes a fight that sets him up against the best "prime" opponents let's all decide he is no longer P4P. He can be P4P #4 but sure as hell not #1. This guy has not done anything to earn that title recently. Part of being a champion is risking your championiship. DLH criticized Mayweather once by saying, "He is saying that Hatton hasn't fought anyone. But I can say the same thing, who has Floyd fought?" The older dog critizing the newer dog makes sense, Floyd has to beef up that resume to be considered the best of his generation. I'm sick of hearing how great he is by thinking of potential opponents he could potentially beat in a possible fight. Right now Cotto is #1 at welterweight cuz he proved it. Pacquiou is #1 pound for pound until he looses it to Marquez or proves he is the little juggurnaut he's taken for. :hi:

    How Do you Figure Floyd is not #1 at WW? You can have all the reasoning in the world Air Force man but facts are facts. Until he losses he is the best WW, the #1 WW, and the biggest name at WW period.

    Just facts not myths.
