Is Mayweather the only fighter who...

more excuses? does floyd only fight golden boy fighters? refusing to fight a whole bunch of fighters because HE doesnt like a promoter is not a good excuse.Well you know he did try to fight one and ended up getting sued,but hey..and not to mention Arum still owes the man 750k.but hey those are only facts why should they matter...then not to mention Cotto never wanted to fight floyd even admitting it himself,yea lets ignore that as well

excuses? what a surprise.No excuses the truth Arum stated that Mayweather would have fought Margarito for the 8 million, but he wanted a guaranteed 10 million to fight Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton. Arum only guaranteed him 7 million. And for those who don’t know Cotto and Hatton were at the Mayweather-Gatti fight and Cotto was ranked number 5 by the ring at the time (Proof: Listen to the commentary Jim Lampley at the end of round 5) . Cotto had just moved up to the 140 pound weight class and he didn’t make an offer to fight Mayweather after the Gatti fight. Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn’t interested in participating in. “That’s not in the cards,” Arum said. “He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It’s not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. We’ll talk about things down the road.” Notice this part Arum was talking. Source for the entire article: (Mayweather turns down 8 million to fight Margarito; author: Dan Rafael, it was updated on April 12th 2006) Face time: Mayweather had nothing to gain from fighting Margarito financially. There was no reward for this. There might have been a risk (but I can’t say what would have happened because it didn’t happen). Mayweather went on to fight the Carlos Baldomir for a dollar more 8,000,001, but he was the lineal welterweight champ. But Oscar had both risk and reward and we saw the results. Several people have fought and beat Margarito and their careers haven’t gone anywhere (Paul Williams, Shane Mosley). If anyone can provide me with a web sight, newspaper clipping, anything that has facts on it, I’m open to it. Peace.

Funny how you just listed 3 top rank fighters more excuses? does floyd only fight golden boy fighters? refusing to fight a whole bunch of fighters because HE doesnt like a promoter is not a good excuse.

Adonis Stevenson was criticised for wanting to fight B-Hop instead of Kovalev. Fans have certain fights they want to see, fighting someone else under the guise of unification doesn't really provide a pass.

He's the only guy who ducked the other best guy in his division for 6 years straight left in boxing.

funny how he didnt want to unify titles when cotto, margarito, pacquiao, williams etc etc were champs ey? Funny how you just listed 3 top rank fighters

You see that photo there ^^ that should be Floyd vs Martinez , not Cotto yup, but Floyd doesn't have the balls of Cotto to challenge himself.

Well if you look at it. Guerrero super slow flat foot and tailormade Ortiz tailormade Maidana tailormade slow flat foot Canelo was weight drained bad and tailormade are all champions but they are the equivalent to David Diaz type champion. Now if he fought a prime Cotto, prime Pacquiao, prime Margarito, Prime Paul Williams, when they were champions it would be awe inspiring. only reason he took the Zab Judah fight was because slow ass Baldomir out boxed him, so Floyd knew he could do the same to Zab, at first Floyd didn't want to fight Zab there was an interview on max boxing where Floyd and Zab were buddy buddy years ago and Floyd said this is my brother right here. Floyd doesn't fight slick black fighters for some reason, or guys with foot speed. and he avoids iron chin pressure fighters who have high volume of punches and don't back down from punches with high stamina. He will fight Zab Judah who is mainly fast handed but doesn't use a lot of foot movement. I think Floyd cannot time both, he isn't as smart as people think he is in the ring, he is smart at picking the right guys. He exposed himself when Cotto started jumping around on his toes and confusing him in spurts, Floyd had difficulty reading it and kept getting hit easy with a left jab, if Floyd was so good how come he had no head movement and kept getting hit with the left jab in the middle of the ring when Cotto was dancing on his toes? Also he sold that BS line how Cotto was undefeated because his losses were to guys who cheated, and Pacman drained him by 2 pounds yet he drains Canelo lol. Who takes Floyd serious this guy is a hype job con man. I think Tim Bradley would be a good test for Floyd to see just how good his skills really are.

funny how he didnt want to resign with Arum to get the fighst he had been asking for and the only way he was going to fight Marg was the sign with Arum again. Cotto and Arum didnt want any parts of Floyd. Pac ducked Floyd just like Cotto did. Who else fought PWill? excuses? what a surprise.

Yes,you will never i repeat never hear another fighter getting slammed for unifying titles..never heard it happen in the sport of boxing funny how he didnt want to unify titles when cotto, margarito, pacquiao, williams etc etc were champs ey?

maidana isnt a champion in my eyes, neither is anybody else in the welterweight division other than mayweather, he is THE champ, the rest are contenders with belts, seriously, how many champions can there be in a division!!! and floyd gets criticized because he claims he is the best ever, but he hasnt even fought the best in his own fcuking division for the last 5 years. then he offers you the choice between 2 **** fights like he is doing the fans a favour! nobody wanted khan or maidana.
