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 two 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 fighting 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.
So why claim to have been the BEST at 130 if he never fought the best, unless you feel that beating Jukko, Rios, Gerena, Augustus and the rest of the nobodys gives him the right to claim that.
Same applies for his fighting at 135 & 140, credit to him for taking on JLC and wining on officially (but loosing in reality) he came back and redeemed himself he moves on to Sosa & N'Dou. At 140 credit to him for taking on the Champ. but thats all he did he didn't even bother to defend the title or anything.
