Everyone brings up floyd not fighting Margarito but they never bring up pac man not fighting, Nate campbell, Mark 2 sharp Johnson, Rafael Marquez, Zahir Raheem, Julio Diaz, And Tim Austin
If you are going to make lthe argument that floyd DUCKED margarito, paul williams and cotto (which we know is false) these fights need to be taken into mind and discussed
Don't forget Paulie Ayala, bones Adams and israel Vasquez , Oscar larios @ 122
135....Juan diaz, and Joel cassmayor
Works both ways
No fighter in history fought everybody in their era that was great or very good
I guess they expect more out of Floyd than PAC
Just shows how great they think Mayweather really is...his haters talk about him more than his biggest fans
Tszyu? He was injured for like a year, and then got beat by Hatton, i also think they were at different networks at the time Floyd with HBO and Tszyu with Showtime, also Floyd didn't stay at 140 for long, this fight would have never happened do to poor timing in both of there situations.
Agreed....as a fan I wanted to see it from 03-05
Tszyu shoulder was ****ed up though
Floyd wanted tszyu back in the late 90s early 2000s
Called him out n SD he wanted to fight him
The timing wasn't there
He really didn't want Nate Cambell at that time. Nate would have walked thru him.
why is this never brought up, some will argue he would have beat nate (which floyd fans can say the same about marg) but he jumped to lightweight instead... i would like to make a thread on this but I dont know if ill be banned and it will turn into nothing but bickering n disrespect

A prime Mayweather had *****s shook until he became a cash cow in 07
Only person with the balls to call him out was margarito....in his 4th division
Them guys at 140 down didn't call him out...he was high risk/ low reward....which is why SSM, odlh and tszyu didn't fight him in the early 2000s
Proof is in the pudding.... Look at cottos fave when he toyed with his stablemate henry bruseles...Miguel looking like oh hell naw....from 140 down he had *****s shook how he battered gatti, corely n brusesles

Yeah no one wanted to mention his name. Tszyu, Cotto, etc. He was a force. And couldn't draw flies to sh*t.

They did not follow boxing in 04-07
Everyone that did knows Cotto and hatton team turned him down
Haters gone hate but you can't rewrite history and its articles n videos to proof it all
Everybody they SD he was scared of he kick their ass....up next PAC man....hit list complete

Cotto came out and admitted that him and his team were not ready to fight floyd and turned it down, when 'so-called' fans were saying floyd retired in order not to have to fight Cotto. then when he faced him these 'so-called' fans said it was 5 years to late. He cant win with some 'so-called' fans, just like the same ones were talking about him ducking Pac by bringing up drug testing, now that pac started doing drug testing...:greddy2:

Crazy to think i remember watching this fight when i was 16 the day after it happened on Sky Sports. This is the fight when you i started paying attention to his career (heard of him but didnt really follow him) cant believe its been 10 years.
on a side note, is it me or does he look more scummier in his face lol
he talked a lot better back then. now he's just cliche after cliche with stuttering
Exactly, plus he's probably had some training in PR - what to say/what not to say.
Manny is fighting in another country every time. Floyd always fights in Vegas where he lives.
So Floyd wanted to fight another guy when he wasn't ready. Nothing new. You can't rewrite history. Either fights them when they are not ready or 5+ years too late or some other BS.
How clever...you quoted me
Use your brain and not your ass for a second
If you are the star you call the shots
Hatton didn't want to fight Mayweather when he was at 140 from 04-06...their were talks and interviews about the fight back then and hsttons own team said they were not ready for a fight with him during that time
You probably didn't follow boxing then
By Dec07 Mayweather beat odlh at 154 and won the ww title that in 06
May was the star no need to go to england
As far as PAC he was getting ko'ed by no names in Asia and didnt meet his potential til he got to the USA....he been here so long he is basically a citizen
Pac is not afraid of getting robbed in someone elses country
He's received gifts outside his country as well...Marquez 3 in USA...if you're the popular guy you often get a razor thin decision 8x out of 10
Look at JCC vs Whitaker...draw my ass
Odlh vs quartey, Whitaker
Garcia vs Herrera
Remember I said most times...not always the popular guy gets it
Even Manny knew he lost...look at his face after the fight
Go watch hatton vs tszyu to see what I mean...hatton low blowed, forearmed, etc every foul possible w/o penality
One of those low blows he hit tszyu with hurt my balls...oooooooooowwwe

Who wants to get robbed in someone else country?
Free for all on illegal fouls for hatton and irate screams for missing punches
Mayweather was smart....he wanted hatton at 140 but hattons team wasn't ready
You can't rewrite history....some of us actually followed boxing then on this site

"I'm not going to fight Hatton in the UK" - Floyd
So he fights Hatton at 147 not 140 and not in UK and they get Joe Cortez to make sure that Hatton gets points deducted for ...... no reason.
