Had Mayweather stayed with Top rank...

I think Top Rank would be way ahead of GBP, I don't think GBP would have been able to transition away from Oscar as a fighter and maintain without a hiccup without Mayweather. That was always going to be a very difficult thing for GBP and that is why most fighters promotional fail but getting Floyd on board kept things running smooth and kept them involved in the top events thus able to attract new names/prospects while they built up their company. Great point. You can def argue that GB might not exist had Mayweather not made the moves he did. Who would have been proping them up until canelo came of age? Oscar would have had to fight longer I suppose.

I think I feel the same way as most of you hear. I think his legacy would be stronger as he would have still ended up fighting cotto, hatton, Marg, and even Manny of which I think he would have won those. I don't think he would have gotten a shot at De la hoya which was clearly his catapult to stardom. So overall stronger legacy (no ducking allegations) but a whole lot less money.

No difference except he's have less money and bob would have more. Margs would look so bad against him IMO

He would have entered into a protracted legal battle with Arum to get out of his contract in order to duck prime Cotto, Margarito and Pacquiao before retiring. Oh wait... http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee84/TheStylistics/a.gif

Weebler would be blaming a different ref for the hatton loss, :rofl: Ether.

Marg, Cotto, Pac all would have gotten taken out one by one.

he wouldnt be in the 2nd fight of a 6 fight $250 million contract

What do you guys think Mayweather's career would look like had he stayed with Arum and taken the Marg fight. What would have happened next? Who do you think his next couple of opponents had been? He would`nt be as popular as he is now because Bob Arum didn`t want to make a fight between Floyd and De la hoya.Cause Arum hated De la hoya cause De la hoya left him,sued him and won.Then De la hoya made anti-Semitic comments bragging about how he beat a Jew and how Jews are this or that....... Arum not wanting to make a fight between Floyd and Delahoya,was the main reason Floyd bought out his contract with Arum to leave Arum.

He'd have beaten Cotto and Marg, Still prob no Pac fight. He'd be making farrrrr less money and would never have become "Money" Mayweather.

He would have beaten Margo,Cotto,Manny then be stuck fighting them over and over and over again Thats right....He would have beaten Pacquiao, Margacheater, Cotto, and Bradley. Arum would call him the GOAT.

He would have whooped Margarito then Cotto. But he would be making much less money.
