What on his record makes him head and shoulders above the rest besides his mouth?
Ask Ring Magazine, as they have him #1 P4P. People wanted to see him fight Corrales when they were undefeated, and he fought him. People wanted to see him fight Castillo a second time after they thought Castillo beat him, and he fought him. People wanted to see him fight DLH, and he fought him. People want to see him fight Hatton, and he's fighting him in November. You seem to be overlooking one glaring fact, Floyd generally tends to fight who people want him to fight. You mention Gatti and Judah yet don't seem to want to recognize that those are simply tuneups, which is something every single fighter has on their resume, yet you seem to want to punish only Floyd for it.
Sorry who wanted Floyd vs De la Hoya ? Sure it was a popular idea when the fight was announced , but before the match was made, nobody was saying OH GOD FLOYD HAS TO FIGHT ODLH NOW!

Especially the hardcore fans, who gave a sh** about Floyd fighting some old fighter at a high weight when there is so many prime fighers down in the welters.

grrr, that matchup makes me so angry because It was such a load of bull from the acting to the actual fight.
