I do think that it's a legitimate question about Floyd and being the RING ww champ though. Question to the RING buffs here(I'm talking to you Galaxy),if Floyd doesn't fight a TOP10 RANKED ww this year,does he still keep the title bearing in mind that he has not fought a true top 10 147 pounder for over a year?

I give him credit for fighting Ricky and Oscar:that's why he's still P4P number 1 but this whole "not fighting a ring ranked WW" is getting absurd. Look at how stacked WW is and he can't even fight one of those guys?!
Floyd will remain welterweight champion until he losses in the ring, or he notifies The Ring, that he is retired or changing weight classes. I know it sucks when a fighter sits on his title, but this is still a better system then the modern alphabet trinket system, where there is no clarity, and titles are bought and sold for sanction fees.

And if you read The Ring, there is almost an article per month saying that Floyd needs to fight cotto.
