Possible Other Opponents that Mayweather could have faced earlier in his career....
Acelino Freitas
Ricky Hatton
Kostya Tszyu
Oscar De La Hoya
Shane Mosley
any others?
Mayweather vs Casamayor at any time would be great, joel's losses to castillo and corrales were very close, so it would be that interesting, the story of paul spadafora beating floyd in sparring would create a hype making the fight at 135 but spaddy sucks, 7-8 years ago, I wont give floyd any chance of beating the best welterweights, the younger version of dela hoya would beat him, and so can shane mosley that beat DLH in 2000 and kostya tszyu at 140 would have defeated Mayweather.
PBF beat some decent people to jump from being an unknown to being a known and respected fighter. But since he has become respected and known he hasnt had any real tests from great opponents, apart from DLH.
The last 3rd of a boxers career is of paramount importance.
Oscar De La Hoya?
Floyd has been calling out Oscar De La Hoya for the past 8 years.
Shane Mosley?
LOL. Floyd was still at 130, and only had around 18 professional fights at the time Shane moved up to 147. They were 3 divisions apart.
Ricky Hatton?
Ricky Hatton has admittedly repeated many times that he wasn't ready for a fight with Floyd Mayweather when Floyd was at 140. Ricky did the ducking, not Floyd.
Arcelino Freitas?
He avoided Floyd like the plague.
Kostya Tsyzu?
That was the reason why Floyd moved up to 140 in the first place. But in case you forgot, Kostya lost to Hatton, so Floyd went after Hatton instead, but we all know what happened there.
There's only 1 person that you can make a legitimate case for Floyd ducking, and that's Joel Casamayor, and maybe Antonio Margarito.
But the list of fighters you so call claim Floyd "ducked" just shows you don't know dick all about boxing. God what a ridiculous, newbie thread.
Floyds been calling Oscar out for years but until now Floyd wasn't shit and was in a lower division...why would Oscar want to fight a nobody? which is what he was @ the time..

If you really have to ask why he didn't fight these fighters then you are obviously either a newbie boxing fan or just flat-out ignorant.

This is dumb. Mayweather defeated all reigning champions cept for the lww for lack of opportunity (he was due to fight at a different weight). He won 5 belts at 5 different weight divisions and still dumb fucks question his career. To hell with you. Even though your "points" get proven and discussed to exaution you keep making new threads about the same fucking thing. Only ODLH may claim he had better opposition (but he lost those fights, still my respect for him is evident and clear). You don't need to be a mayweather nuthugger to recon true talent. The guy is already a legend. Know what? You haters made him.
I SAID END THREAD U DIPSHIT!

freitas didnt want to fight mayweather
de la hoya was in weight classes higher
hatton nobody knew who he was
mosley was also in weight classes higher
tszyu and mayweather only fought at same weight class for a short period
this topic is sort of stupid
Someone asked me to do this in response to my thread, I guess in a sense they were right, there weren't too many boxers to fight at the time in his division...should have probably moved up earlier there was nothing to prove at 130..

Man i thought i started a shit storm on my thread! Wait till the floyd hugglings get a hold of this! It is widely known that Floyd past every single credible challenge on his way to all time greatness. Every single elite fighter, in every single division since leaving 130.
Somhow none of his disciples can address this question. The reason is the only logical answer is Floyd did it on purpose, and we all know what that makes him!
