    Cotto is a champ at 154. So now being a champ one division under doesn't count for anything?

    Funny because that sure as hell happens often.

    Mayorga didn't do **** at 154 to get his title shot. Neither did Piccarillo. As stated, Mayorga got the shot because of Don King, who promoted BOTH guys. Coincidence? Nope. Politics and favors.

    So, what we have is DLH beating guys who didn't deserve ANY form of title shot for a vacant belt in Maoyrga. BTW, DLH's last win at 154 before was in 2003. vs the GREAT Yory Boy, three years before.

    So, THAT made DLH the #1 guy at 154? :huh Lets be honest, his NAME made him appear as the #1 guy at 154.

    But the facts are, DLH beat a guy who won a vacant belt. Does that make DLH's belt legit to you, beating someone who won a vacant belt? :huh

    Not if Floyd grew up under the same conditions and circumstances that Manny lived through. He'd probably wouldn't have found boxing.

    What?


    I'm not arguing what people did to deserve the shot, people get title shot chances because of simply their name 90% of the time.

    One could argue the Mosley fight and that Mosley was cheating as well. But I won't. DLH didn't have another victory because he also moved up for 2 fights in 2004 before taking sometime off.

    More legit than Pac's. Yes.

    Sure, that would be fair. But if we start going by personal scorings, that just opens another can of worms. Good call.

    Yeah, because passing around a belt won from a vacant status, and no one defending it successfully is WAAY better. :lol: It's not. It's still a belt that was vacant. Just took a longer path to Floyd then what Pac did.

    If Pac was American the dynamics of his career would have been completely different then they are today.

    Pac isn't the GOAT. DOn't be ridiculous. But my point is, IF Pac was American, as you asked, he'd be a different fighter then who he is today. Part of what made Pac who he is was his upbringing. It made him who he is.
