130-147....now to 154....he's not unifying anything!!!

So that means he's not as great as he thinks he is
Unifying is just as meaningless as the alphabet straps are. Remember that Mayweather got the first of his alphabet straps at 147 by beating a "champion" who had lost his last fight. If you don't believe in the straps (which you shouldn't--they're more about paying fees and being forced to fight bullshit no-name "contenders" than anything), then you shouldn't believe in unification. The Ring rankings are the only legit thing. So I agree that it would have been good for Floyd to fight Hatton or Tszyu while he was at 140 (though I don't think either would have been at all close), but I don't see any good complaint for the other divisions he's run through.
