    What annoys me about Mayweather...

    He is a great fighter everyone knows that but he has the chance to do something Roy Jones couldn't do because of the lack of competiton he had in his prime and that is to become a top 5 fighter ever. The Welterweight division is really strong at the moment yet he decides to fight a fighter he has already beaten just to get more money, not add to his legacy.

      Absolutely agree...

      The only way Mayweather will earn BACK my respect after taking this fight is if it turns out to be a "Keep active Money earner" and he's waiting for the likes of Cotto to become more mainstreamly known and then takes the Cotto fight straight off the back of this one...

          I agree. In 10 years, he'll be where Jones is today if he doesn't fight the guys the fans want him to fight.

              i concur! such ashame that floyd could put himself high up the atg's list with a unification of 47, yet he chooses the money!
              greed is a strong trait, and money is the root of all evil!

                While that is good for Floyd, and beneficial to his bank account, what does this matchup do for us fans?

                  when you have the opportunity to get big money, go for it. only a fool will turn it down. cotto is rumored to fight gomez, why isnt he fighting a top guy? what do u you guys think fighting gomez wil do for his legacy? having de la hoya on ur resume twice says alot. lets not forget this is business also

                    there are other welters out there also. you guys act like floyd is the only one in the division. those who complain, just dont watch the fight.
