champ is vacant best is Pacquiao, then PBF, then Mosley, then Clottey, and then Berto. Cotto is moving up to 154.
You have what I call a sack of shite opinion-no offense. You could/would never know what it is like to be a fighter so why listen to you when you say Floyd avoids guys. This is about big money fights. Get a clue!
It's either shane or floyd...Mosleys recent accomplishment of defeating margarito (who was #1), placed him in the position. However, at the time of his retirement, floyd was the #1 ww, so a case could be made that he never lost it and upon his return it is still his because the next guy (cotto) never defeated him to become the man...
Until Floyd beats a decent welterweight fighter, he will never be the welterweight champ. Judah has lost every big fight without Cory Spinks and Badlomir had no business holding a belt. What real welterweight has Floyd beaten at 147? Big fights my ass!! He needs to stay retired...real fight fans are tired of the drama. If everyone acted like Floyd mayeather, boxing would truly be a dead sport.
Clottey is coming off a loss to Cotto, Mayweather has not defeated a Welterweight in over 3 years, Cotto was just destroyed by Pacquiao. Pacquiao and Mosley have the only claims but Mosley has the strongest claim as he beat the man in Margarito and Margarito become the man by beating Cotto during Floyd's retirement.
