    Floyd is the number 1 ranked welterweight only on the WBC's forum

    Why does the WBO/WBA etc not have him ranked as the Number 1 contender if he dosent hold any belts?!?

    the alpahbets don't often rank fighters that their competitors rank

    I guess because he's not very active.
    that's only if they hold a belt by another org. I think thats bull, but hey who am I.

    he also snubbed the WBA in his last fight by refusing to pay their fee for mosley's belt

    This.....He's always refused to pay any fees for any belts other than the WBC, which is the only belt Floyd has ever really cared about.

    That combined with not being very active.

    In reality the WBA at least should rank him considering he UD'd their super champion.

    I read on here that it was a few million. Not sure how reliable that was though.

    Maybe they recognize his lineal world welterweight champions status or something. At the time Mosley had a title, no? Maybe some sort of belt was on the line, I dunno, but it doesn't matter, he'll be recognized if necessary.

    I just read it was up to 3 % of his purse.
    (WIKI) The fight was the second highest selling non heavyweight pay-per-view bout in the history of boxing, with 1.4 million buys. HBO officially released that the fight generated $78.3 million in revenue

    Isn't he retired? Why isn't Ray Leonard ranked?
