If you were moving up the rankings and were the no 1 contender for the WBC Welterweight strap say and Floyd was the champ you're never likely to end up facing him as he would drop the belt and push for a bigger fight. That must be fustrating for an up and coming fighter to work his way up and then miss out on a big fight.

Define nobodies?

Just because a fighter is not as good as others on a P4P list or does not have to popularity/huge promoter pushing them etc...does not make them a nobody...

You have to be a somebody to become a world champion (Unless it is one of the WBA 15 per division titles because they sell them at Wal-Mart)....

If anything winning the title makes you a somebody..even if it was an upset....

Guys like you kill me...you have no idea what it btakes and what these fighyters sacrafice to make it in the sport even on a mid level and you have the nerve to call them nobodies
