Floyd didn't beat the best fighters in each division he went to, he targeted the weak belt holders.
You're digging yourself a hole.
When Floyd fought Genaro Hernandez at 130, Genaro was the #1 ranked Jr. Lightweight in the world, according to the Ring.
When Floyd fought Jose Castillo at 135, Castillo was the #1 ranked Lightweight in the world, according to the Ring.
When Floyd fought Arturo Gatti at 140, Gatti was the #3 ranked Jr. Welterweight in the world, according to the Ring.
When Floyd fought Carlos Baldomir at 147, Carlos was the #1 ranked Welterweight in the world, according to the Ring.
When Floyd fought Ricky Hatton at 147, Ricky was ranked the #1 Jr. Welterweight in the world, according to the Ring.
When Floyd fought Oscar De La Hoya at 154, Oscar was ranked #1 at Jr. Middleweight, according to the Ring.
Roy Jones would be the biggest name Calzaghe can add to his resume besides Pavlik. The Pavlik fight wont come off because Arum doesn't want it..
Floyd can fight Cotto and get paid BIG MONEY but he CHOOSES not to. That's the difference.
So what you're saying is Miguel Cotto (top rank) can offer more money to Floyd Mayweather than Oscar De La Hoya can.
Tell me what is great about Floyds resume? It's really not that great AT ALL.
Oscar has fought people like Trinidad, Whitaker, Chavez, Mosley, HOPKINS who was a fucking Middleweight! talk about challenging yourself.
What the hell has Floyd done in comparison? If Floyd gets a loss his 39-1 record wouldn't look that good at all.
If Calzaghe got a loss his 45-1 record would really not look good at all. Making 20 title defenses in a division that had no great fighters around and moving up to fight a 43 year old inactive Ring magazine champion.
No matter what, Floyd is a 5-division champ. 8 title defenses at 130. 4 title defenses at 135. Beat the linear welter champ. Beat the best jr.middleweight at that time, unless you considered Spinks a better fighter then Oscar.
Facts that limey's can't handle.
Have you seen the division Floyd is in compared to Calzaghe?
It's stacked! Calzaghe fought the best in his division, the two young lions who many people thought would beat him. It's time for Floyd to do the same...
It's easy to fight every chump in a division that had no great fighters around. Keeping it safe, fighting 40 of your 45 fighting in your backyard of cardiff, wales defening a meaningless sanctioning body belt.
Had he actually steped it up and came to America to challange all the great fighters at their prime, he would have lost a long time ago.
Floyd said he would fight Marg too, we all know what happened dont we?
He waited for Marg to lose and then he said "I told you so". He had no intention of fighting Marg, just like he has no intention of fighting Cotto. What's so hard about saying "I'll fight Cotto soon, just let him build his name up a bit more" ? Floyd has never once said anything like that.
Was Oscar 43 years old though?
Why is Calzaghe looking at Roy Jones now? What does Roy bring to the table outside of money? And money is something Mayweather is always criticized for fighting for. So please don't tell me Calzaghe is only fighting Roy for the money, or else.....
Why doesn't Joe fight the next in line, Chad Dawson?
Why fight a guy that has been CONCUSSED twice in his last six fights and is damn near pushing 40?

Hatton is smaller than Floyd.
Castillo and Coralles were really P4p? I don't think they were... :rofl:
Floyd is a 140lber. Isnt that what Hatton is right?
Does anyone remember when the whole deal was that floyd was ducking hatton and that he would get destroyed by gatti, corrales, de la hoya, and basically everyone else he was ever suppose to fight. People let emotions get too involved in thier analysis. Floyd will most likely fight cotto just be patient. Get off floyds balls he can fight whoever the fuck he wants. I wouldnt want people dictating every move of my career. OH YEA AND WTF WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY HAT COTTO HAS NEVER HANDPICKED AN OPPONENT. HE DOESNT PICK ANY OF HIST APPONENTs. IF HE COULD HE WOULD BUT THATS WHAT A PROMOTER IS FOR. lol ok got that off my chest.
I remember when people were actually saying that Floyd didn't have the balls to fight a puncher like Gatti and if Castillo could hurt him then imagine what Gatti would do to him. LOL

Mayweather has been fighting people that are bigger than him for the past seven years so this argument can work both ways.
Floyd is a natural light welter but he doesn't starve himself to make weight like many boxers in the welterweight division.
Hopkins was at least active and held a very credible win over the linear champion only a year before, Oscar was inactive for a large part of 2 years. Don't forget to mention that!

I shouldn't even have to explain this stuff, but I will anyway.
Floyd fighting Oscar at 154 in his FIRST AND ONLY fight at 154 was just as challenging as Oscar challenging Bernard at 160.
When has Calzaghe challenged himself like that? Oh, my bad, he fought a 43 year old Bernard Hopkins and won by split decision.
That TRUMPS any and everything Floyd has ever done....NOT.
Floyd said he would fight Marg too, we all know what happened dont we?
He waited for Marg to lose and then he said "I told you so". He had no intention of fighting Marg, just like he has no intention of fighting Cotto. What's so hard about saying "I'll fight Cotto soon, just let him build his name up a bit more" ? Floyd has never once said anything like that.

You have Floyd on the mind.
When Cotto becomes big enough? Cotto will never become big enough for Floyd because Floyd doesn't want it.
Exactly. Calzaghe wasn't as lucky as Floyd in the sense that Floyd in American born and raised on HBO. Floyd got all the big fights, Calzaghe didn't for that reason.
Floyd is now in a division which is absolutely STACKED. If Floyd wants to be talked about in the same sentance he needs to go after Cotto, Marg just to name a few.
Please. Floyd could retire RIGHT NOW and go down as a greater fighter than Cotto and Calzaghe. Get real.
Regardless, Calzaghe had plenty of opportunities to fight other great fighters during the earlier part of his career. But the fragile bastid was always injured and pulling out of fights.
What happened to the GLEN JOHNSON fight?
Look man can we cut the bullshit......
Floyd already said wehn he feels its a bigger fight then he'l fight Cotto....what dont you get.
Floyd vs. Oscar is Septemeber 20th.
Oscar said he wants Cotto in December right??
Umm did you see what a Oscar fight did for Floyd...imagine what it would do for Cotto...open your eyes.
This is all being set up....
Oscar and Floyd will spar again and Oscar will lose and claim he was robbed..and say to us" I can keep up witht the best fihter in the world"....
Then he'll fight Cotto..lose that as well.....and then what do you know.
Mayweather vs. Floyd is the BIGGEST fight in the world( Thats the kind of fight you tell your kids about down the line)..have patience man...Cotto knows that which is why hes hesistant about Margarito....
Too much money on the line for the young Cotto..he better fight Mayorga beat his ass...then go ahead with Oscar in December....
Cotto wasnt hesistant about this fight until Oscar made it public that he wanted COTTO for December.
Do you think team Cotto is stupid???
You have Floyd on the mind.
When Cotto becomes big enough? Cotto will never become big enough for Floyd because Floyd doesn't want it.
Floyd has already cleaned out two divisions and is working on #3. How long has Calzaghe been at Supermiddle? And how long did it take him to fight the two so called "LIONS" in his division?
Ok.

I've come to realize that some of these people don't care about logic or sense. All they care about is saying "I hate Mayweather. He is chicken. I hate Mayweather. He is chicken."
Let the robots do their thang...LOL
