    Why are you going to chase guys who keep turning you down? Is he supposed to put his entire career on hold until guys like Mosley, Hatton, and Cotto change their minds? That's ******...

      Who mentioned him chasing them? Mosley and Hatton are saying they want the fight, forget Margarito because he's going to get murdered by Cotto soon anyway, but it'll soon be Hatton and Mosley that are chasing down Mayweather.

      These fights could make or break him, if he beats all 3 he's one of the greatest of all time and has proved a huge audience wrong, if he doesn't there's a huge question mark over his entire career.

        it like Tyson vs Holyfield where Holyfield wanted to fight Tyson for long time and when he did he knew how.

        same with Mayweather vs DHL and Mosely he was following them for long time i think he could beat them because he is obesed with beating them

          Hatton has been saying he wants Mayweather since the Tsyzu fight, but when the fight is offered he turns it down. Mosley turns the fight down and then once Mayweather signs to fight DLH and says he's going to retire, all of a sudden he wants the fight?

          If these guys really wanted to fight, they would have signed when they had the chance. I just find it ****** that they act like they are going to step up now that Mayweather says he's going to retire...

            didn't Hatton turn it down because they couldn't come to an agreement on terms and money?

              I think at this stage in Mayweathers career, these fights only elevate him further, hes beaten too many champions and is now THE champion at his 3rd weight class and a win against DLH will have made him a beltholder in 5 divisions.

              Make or break is the wrong term, hes too established for that.

              Mosley and Hatton saying they want the fight and taking the fight are two different things, thats like "lets wait until Mayweather shows somemore vunerability before i fight him so i feel confident that i can win"

              if you arent ready to take on the p4p number 1 when the shot is offered to you, then i dont know what to tell you as a fighter.

                Yeah, Hatton's biggest payday was like 3-4 million and he asked for 13 million. He priced himself out of the fight. There was maybe 13 million in it for them combined...

                  Even if the fight between him and Mosley were to happen Floyd would still be in his prime. He would still be younger and quicker than Mosley with the better defensive skill. I don't think Mosley is scared at all he has taken tough fights his whole career. And has been exceptionally gracious in defeat. He fought Winky twice knowing damn well he couldn't get past that jab. His determination shouldn't at all be undermined. Plus he has a head of stone man can Mosley take a punch.

                    I strongly believe that Mosley just wanted time to spend with his family. Mayweather says Mosley dodged him when he was young, but back then that fight wouldnt have made Mosley any money. Mayweather contradicts himself so much its sad. Very sad.

                      If Floyd wins, and he has Mosley waiting at 147 for him then why not take the fight? Wouldnt he be contradicting himself? Its not like Mosley said he needed time off and took another fight. If anything he was smart. Look how fresh he looked.
