Mayweather's Resume is Hand-picked

[Tysonisgod]

He will never face a prime, world-class welterweight like Cotto, or even Williams or Cintron, because he's not 100% sure he would defeat them!

Calzaghe faced and defeated the best prime, undefeated, world-class super middleweight in Mikkel Kessler. Why won't Floyd fight Cotto?

Cotto, Williams and Cintron has never fought a world class welter either, so why dont you do this to their records? And your sayin floyd is hand picked and part of ur argument is that Calzaghe fought Kessler, which is one guy...who also never fought a guy in his prime..you also left out his fight with the amazing jeff lacy and super talented Peter Jr :S

[SkillspayBills]

Do you honestly think Floyd could fight Whitaker, Camacho, Quartey, Trinidad, Shane Mosley (X2), Bernard Hopkins without a loss? I'll leave out Chavez (X2) since he was past it.

LMAO how do you leave out Chavez because he is past it but include Camacho and a cracked up Whitaker. Man you are a joke.

[SkillspayBills]

Floyd gave Oscar, the PPV king, a big paycheck, did he?



Hmmm..... Mosley is not an elite fighter?

So you are going to call a 36 year............you know what forget it. Some things will never change. You are an immense hypocrite and should be ashamed of yourself for you ignorant bias.

[The Hammer]

I can't imagine Mayweather fighting Cotto or any other prime world class welterweight, it's just too risky for him. He'll take the cowardly way out and simply retire first!

Interesting that Mayweather insisted the fight with Hatton would be at 147. This shows that Mayweather's natural weigh-in weight at age 30 is welterweight.

well you gotta wait to find out.

it Hatton advantage to fight at 147 so intstead of lossing down to 140 he will lose down to 147. Hatton walks around 160 or something like that so it easier for him to fight at 147 against someone nearly same size as he is.


And it funny how Oscar insisted on fighting Mayweather at 154. He did KO Mayorga and everybody in BS gave him a hell of a chance.

That "cracked up Whitaker" as you put it was an active fighter who had not lost a fight in 26 fights.

Do you not understand that inactivity is more important to a fighter's decline than age? In the two years leading up to the Cotto fight, Shane had back to back knockout wins over Vargas and dominated Collazo (much more impressive performance than Hatton had.) In the two and a half years leading up to the Mayweather fight, DLH had a single knockout win over Mayorga. If you can't see the difference, I can't help you bud.

[Tijuana Tornado]

yeah, good thing he didn't fight Gatti or N'Dou in their primes because they would have killed him! lol

I'll bump this thread when Mayweather signs the contract to fight Cotto at the end of this year. He doesn't call himself Money Mayweather for nothing and Cotto will bring in the biggest $$$ at the end of the day.

PLAIN and BASIC COMMON SENSE.

Okay, Collazo broke his thumb Vargas was shot as hell. and why did Mosely didnt fight Cintron when coming back?

Make sure you apply that same view to Oscar facing Ike Quartey.
Quartey fought Vince Phillips in April '96, Carr in Oct '96, Tiger Jones in April '97, JL Lopez in Oct '97......& then did not fight again, until he faced Oscar in Feb '99.

I can't think of a name that draws that doesn't "pick" his opponents.

Draws = money.

Money = everyone lining up to fight the draw.

Oscar De La Hoya "picked" his opponents too.

Winky Wright is about the only big name that I can think of that hasn't "picked" his opponents. He fought what was given to him, and not out of choice, but out of necessity.

Yeah, DLH picks who he fights but Mayweather cherry picks. DLH fights whoever he thinks will make him the most money, even if they are a big threat. Mayweather will take the easiest fight that makes the most money. Anyone who is a serious threat, he will avoid. We all saw this with Margarito when he offered him a career high payday.

This is the difference between a real businessman (DLH) and a coward (Mayweather).
