Well apart from Dela Hoya which i give him full credit, Judah He just got beat by Baldomir who Floyd then fights and who is the worst champion at 147, he fights Hatton at 147 Hatton is not a 147 fighter he fights at 140.

He fights Gatti but doesnt fight Kosta,Hatton or Cotto at 140.

At 147 he fights Baldomir and doesnt fight fighters like Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Williams.
The Hatton argument I never bought into. Mayweather after all did start at two weight divisions below Hatton, but Hatton fans seem to discount this fact. But I've had this argument before, no point in rehashing that one. Lets not forget it was Hatton that went after Floyd. If you are going to call Hatton a cherry then he had no business moving up to Welterweight in the first place.
Well said - I pretty much ignore all the idiots who still ride the 'Ricky lost because he was at 147' or the 'Floyd wouldn't have beaten Hatton at 140' wave. It's wishful thinking at best..

You've made some great points. In defence of the Judah fight also, Floyd was scheduled to fight him BEFORE Zab's loss to Baldomir when he was the dominant and unified force in the Welterweight division. NOT cherry picking.
