This is an article from May, 2009 - before Floyd fought Juan Manuel Marquez.
I remember that people were laughing at "hit list" at the time.
I found it interesting to go back and revisit.
Mayweather’s Hit List Includes Pacquiao, Mosley, Cotto
http://www.boxnews.com.ua/en/news/5310/2009-05-21/Mayweathers-Hit-List-Includes-Pacquiao-Mosley-Cotto
If people thought Floyd Mayweather Jr. was going to return for a payday or two and then head back into retirement, they are very mistaken. Mayweather returns to the ring on July 18 against Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Floyd has been away from the ring since a December 07 knockout of Ricky Hatton.
Since Mayweather’s return, we’ve heard the constant mention of the infamous “hit list” that Floyd provided to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer. Speaking exclusively with BoxingScene.com’s Luis Sandoval, Schaefer disclosed some of the names on Floyd’s hit list. Manny Pacquiao was an obvious name. Others like Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto are there too. And even a potential fight the down the road with junior welterweight Victor Ortiz, who many view as a future superstar in the sport.
“Yes, he has a hit list. The same thing with Marquez. Both guys want to fight the best. Mayweather, should he win that fight, he wants to go on and fight. There is Pacquiao on the list, there is Shane Mosley on the list, there is potentially a Miguel Cotto on the list and maybe down the road somebody like Victor Ortiz,” Schaefer said to BoxingScene.
If that is your angle... then Pacquiao over DLH, Mosley, Cotto, Hatton mean nothing
DLH was over the hill.
Mosley came off a loss and a draw
Cotto looked vulnerable against Clottey
Hatton came off a loss to Floyd and meaningless win over Paulie.
Floyd beat a fresh Oscar at 154
Mosley after he demolished Margarito
Cotto after dominating wins vs Margarito and Mayorga
Hatton was undefeated and confident.
And an older version of JMM schooled Pac while Floyd aced a younger version.
Done.:bottle:
Not to mention:
Oscar de La Hoya -- 154lb WBC champ
Ricky Hatton -- 147lb WBC Champ
Victor Ortiz -- 147lb WBC Champ
Miguel Cotto -- 154lb WBC Champ
Floyd collected their belts, which are all currently on display at his house behind glass encasements and viewable by all guests of the Big Boy Mansion.
Mission Almost Accomplished :boxing:
Pac fights the rejuvenated and better experience versions. Stop hating you Pachater you. PAC D BEST
but he did, didn't he? after beating barrera he fought marquez...no tune up or nothing..can't respect that? and then he fought him again when he was the ring magazine champ at 130 after avenging his loss against morales and beating barrera for the second time.

It's not a fan's job to care how much fighters make. They aren't putting their health, no lives on the line sitting on their butts watching, so why would they? Fighters sure care and so do promoters. I don't think some posters get it. What happened or didn't in 2005 isn't really relevant to this thread. The point is, the "hit list" came out in '09 and posters on this site scoffed at it and some called it outright BS. The list is all but done and it still isn't enough...... for reasons not given when the list first came out. THAT'S the point.
Absolutely true. But russian crushin think about this.
Floyd and cotto 05-07 makes floyd about 8 mil and cotto about 3 mil. In 2012 those same 2 fighters made $40 mil plus and put on a great fight, proably alot better than in 05. DO you think it was worth the wait?
Typical Floyd Stan B.S. Do whatever is best for Floyd's bank account.
I would personally have rather saw them fight in 05 and not given a f*ck how much either of them made
The list is the most impressive today. Hopefully Bob Arum will cashout on his moneymaking Cow and we the fans will see the fight we wanted; years after, but still a good fight.
"If you truly want to understand someone, don`t listen to what he says. See what he actually does. Because what a person does is truly what he is, not what he says."
I'll believe Mr boat buyer fightin SSM and/or Cotto when I ****in see it. :boxing:
^^^^^ that "mr boat buyer" nonsense got wearisome and played-out real quick.
nice to see some of the biggest douchebags from that boxingscene era being aired out here.
Who was the better fighter between Margarito and Baldo? Just say the name please.
Sergio SHOULD fight Pirog, ive been giving him sh1t for it. So whats your point?
who had achieved more when floyd fougth baldomir? who was ranked higher? who was the universally recognised champion? who was the MAJORITY of ppl saying floyd was ducking and wanted him to fight?
just say the name please.
Its embarrassing reading some of these posts. People that don't like Floyd are hilarious lol.
Some of them are more than embarrassing or Hilarious, You would have thought the man stole their girlfriends or something lol.
Floyd haters owned once again.
Had Russian Crushin looking like a schoolgirl.
Lmao.
Lol, Yea am sure he suffers from Foot and mouth disease when it comes to Mayweather.
Like Cotto?
Like De La Hoya, Hatton, Mosley, and waiting 2 years after Mayweather shut out Marquez, to finally fight him in the trilogy?
Cotto is the only fighter Floyd fought after Pacquiao beat him. I would say Marquez, but Pacquiao never defeated Marquez. Pacquiao tried his "Wait till after Floyd beats em" technique for the Marquez trilogy, and obviously failed, and miserably. Maybe we see a 4th fight between Marquez and Pac? only if Mayweather rematches Marquez and shuts him out once again. If that happens, get ready for Marquez-Pacquiao IV in 2014. Or, if Bradley beats Pacquiao, Pac would run crying to Marquez for a 4th fight. Either way, the 4th fight will happen, Top Rank wants it. Pac will have his 4th try, to do something Floyd did on his first try. Which is defeat Marquez.
