I just dont understand how/why Floyd would dump the 154lb title in order to retain the 147lb title, yet he doesnt want to face the #1 WW contender or any other WW for that matter. Floyd hasnt defended his title/titles since being at 135, but he now wants to defend them against a JWW, not a WW. Shane is willing, ready, and able. So whats the problem? Never mind who turned who down such and such years ago. Now is the time to put up, or shut up. So the question is: Are Floyd's recent actions ok with you guys? Do u defend the fact that he doesnt want to face any WW, meanwhile he is the WW champ?
i personally like the idea of the hatton fight most , i think its a nicer fight all around , floyd is the best pound for pound , and hes gonna be picky and make a pay day so i think taking hatton is gonna be a payday hell take probably more so that oscar doesnt , but it does give time to have a top class WW fight to shed light on the most viable option and payday for the next fight after that , i like floyd , i wont defend him to the grave like some people might , just overall in buisness practice and entertainment value , hatton then another welter champ is money in the bank
Honestly, Mayweather isn't retiring. If he REALLY was, he wouldn't leave any speculation out there and would have dropped ALL his titles welterweight title, included. So, lets get that straight. Second of all, if he fights Hatton, and Hatton doesn't move up, he should get money in that fight, and starting with the following fight start defending his title, or give it u, and quit wasting his and everyone elses time. I'm not the type to give a shit about alphabet titles, I'm just saying. No reason for him to pay sanctioning fees for titles he doesn't plan on defending to the right kind of opponents.
Cmon Floydboy, because the fight didnt get made when Floyd wanted it, means that it cant get made now? Who doesnt want to see this matchup?? Mosley is his most sensible option. He is the #1 WW contender, he is a big name, and he brings money to the table.
lol mayweather challenged shane when shane was in his prime!!!! now shane beats an old vargas and an average collazo and now he is back and ready for floyd??? lol ever heard opportunity knocks once? shane should have took it then when he was in his prime, there is no way shane would beat floy'd. Hands down plane and simple floyd is better at what he does then what any other fighter is best at. I don't see anyone out there beating floyd. not even in WW. People say he dont have a chin or cant go toe to toe lmao watch some mayweather fights the fights where people actually force him to fight and see if he cant take a hit or put you on your ass. If your not an athlete then you dont know that you dont do what you dont have to do. In other words why sit outside and shoot threes when you can drive by your guy all night and dunk on him. Same with floyd he is so much above these fighters skill wise he doesnt have to go in there like cotto and hatton and swing for the fences he just outboxes you with ease and if you do decide to make floyd fight trust me he will fight back and whoop ur ass. ask corrales, ask castillo(first and second fight) and judah, ask jesus chavez, ask corely, ask gatti......plane and simple mayweather can fuck you up if it came down to him having to do it like that but untill someone does that he will just outbox you all 12 rounds
oscar runs everything? sure hatton can get a bigger payday off him but if hatton goes to fight de la hoya floyd will just start talking shit i dont think that will happen hatton is going to fight floyd then when he takes a beating hes going to go fight de la hoya and get another beating......but hey at least hell get paid for it!
I would much rather see Mayweather fight Cotto after Mosley dismantles him and Cotto get's another Ass-whooping from Floyd, THEN Hatton get's his Third Ass Whooping from Floyd(1st-Collazo ,2nd-Maybe DLH ,3rd-Possibly PBF).

lol at what you said
bhop gets props for fighting a live threat that is a smaller mean
which is winky
but if floyd fights hatton then are you saying hatton isnt a live threat?
you just contradicted yourself
That's a BIG IF, he hasn't locked the fight down yet.
floyd is gunna make 2x the money with a hatton fight than a mosley fight at this point in time...after he beats hatton hes going wait until mosley beats cotto to fight him because hes going to get a better payday and overall be a much bigger fight if that happens...why would he fight mosley now and get less money and let hatton go off with de la hoya doesnt make sense....
De La Hoya runs everything, he's gonna keep PBF from fighting Hatton for a while. DLH is really pushing for a fight w/ him too so, PBF may not be back in the ring for awhile if he keeps hiding behind his desk.Floyd will make mincemeat outta Cotto and Hatton. Cotto leaves himself open too much. Handspeed and footwork dispatches of Hatton.
Props to Bhop for choosing to face a "live threat". Can we say that about Floyd? Question Floydboy: When was the last time Floyd faced a top-tier challenger who was prime and not coming off a loss? 2003?? LOL

like i said it not gunna do nuthin
Like I said, It's gotten your attention. It's taken your attention away from your daily cleaning of his jockstrap to me.
Since when is a Mosley fight bigger than Hatton? I'm not big on Hatton but his fans travel and ANY venue will be sold out for that fight. No way the Mosley fight makes bigger money. Stop making shit up because you don't like Floyd. If he was going after Shane all the noise on here would be about him ducking Hatton. He's the best right now just get over it. I believe Shane had a chance, right?
Floyd wasn't shit back when he had the choice to fight Mosley. DLH-Mosley were two fights that are better than Floyd's whole Career.
Actually he is the pound for pound best in the world. When your the best you get to choose who you want to fight. Hopkins chose to fight Winky even though others probably wanted him. Winky wasn't lookin at B-Hop.
And explain that list line Cotto dick rider.
It's surprising that you can even type with your hands so firmly planted to Floyd's dick.
Floyd only went to 154 to fight Oscar. He wasn't going to stay at 154. He doesn't belong there. Floyd has yet to make a decision on who he will fight or if he'll REALLY fight again. You can't say he will not face a real Welterweight when he has yet to make a decision.
Fuck Mosley he missed his chance.
Plain and simple for the slow folks.
and see everyone wants to question how great floyd is. And comments like these show y he is not great. Mosley is the best fight mayweather can make rite now. The money well be great the fight will have great hype but for some reason floyd does not want to fight this man. He'll rather fight Hatton and make a low 5 million than fight mosley which would guarantee him at least 10 million. I question this guy Floyd is he scared?????????

I cant stand floyd, but criticisms of who he did or didnt fight arent very strong or poignant. Better to focus on these issues:
#1 he laughably claims to be the greatest of all time without any attempt to solidify his claim as such
#2 he claims to come to fight but in reality refuses to throw for no apparent reason as he is on the cusp of victory and is given gift decisions lauding his lack of effort and aggression that would never have been given 20-30 years ago.
#3 him and his fans have unbelievably filthy mouths.
lol at that, willie pep, nicolino locche, young benitez...
if anything boxing has become more of a show NOW
