He could have not fought Baldomir, but then he would be ignoring the real lineal champ. I guess he could have fought Cotto instead of Oscar, but that would would have made about ZERO business sense.
You just summed it up yourself mate, Floyd ain't a fighter he's a businessman and has lost all of my respect for that.
Hatton was the universally recognized 140lb champ and former beltholder at 147. Are would you give Kessler or Calzaghe crap for defending against and beating Kelly Pavlik? The univeral champ one weight class below is almost always a legit defense.
No offence mate but why are you talking about that, the fight has not happend and your going completely off subject and Kelly Pavlik can fight at sup-mid and feels good at the weight unlike what Hatton stated and Pavlik looked impressive beating JT at sup-mid wheras Hatton did not when beating Collazo so yes I would give Calzaghe or Kessler praise if they beat Pavlik for the reasons I stated.
He'll fight Cotto eventually. If he doesn't fight Cotto with the next two years, we can bitch, because Cotto is the ONLY fighter who has really earned a shot at Floyd at 147. Tony screwed himself when he lost to Williams. Cintron? Please! Williams? Can we stop with that now. If Tony beats Cintron, then beats Cotto, or if Cintron beats Tony then Cotto (yeah, right) those guys will have claim.
