    I didn't know that Calzaghe and Kessler were fighting at welterweight.

    Did he pay someone step aside money to win a vacant title, did he win a vacant title against a C level opponent?

    Here we go again, I don't want to get into this argument, fact remains just about anyone in the top 20 in the welterweight division would have beaten Baldomir for the title.

    I don't have a problem with him lifting the title from Baldomir, I do have a problem with him not facing a legit welterweight afterwards like Margarito, Mosley, Cotto, or Cintron.

    Yes he fought an inactive DLH at 154, but if he wants to keep his status as welterweight champion, he needs to fight Cotto or Williams, and not Ricky Hatton.

    Is it because Ricky Hatto is a midget?

    sad to say i only see floyd fighting maybe once more and it will probably be dlha again for about 25 mil. Cant hate on him for that though.

    No, I thought maybe he had an off night against Collazo, but he really just showed he is better suited for 140. Some can jump up a lot of weight classes, and some can't. Ricky can't.

    Btw he isn't that much shorter than Mayweather. I've met Mayweather, and I doubt he is the listed 5'8.

    cotto had just came to WW the month after PBF won the title...cintron?? pbf would have been criticise to death for that fight plus who was cintron??.....mosley was at 154 and pbf asked to fight him earlier he declined so he lost his chance...so pbf went to fight oscar at 154...
