    Also, it isn't Floyd's fault that these so called "bums" were the champions of 140 and 147 when Floyd got there.
    "small" is an excuse. He signed the contract to fight at the particular weight, apparently he doesn't think hes too small, so why do you?

    You're right its not his fault that bums were champs when he got their, but it is his fault when he chooses not to fight the best contenders.

      I have no reason to dislike Mayweather as a fighter.

      Roger Mayweather was a two weight class world champ, whos best win was a dominating one over Vinny Pazienza, with other good wins over guys like Rene Arrendondo, Samuel Serrano and Mario Martinez. who was the the best guy Judah beat again?

      Buddy McGirt was a very talented fighter, if youd actually ever seen him. no offense to Hatton, but he wasnt as good as McGirt. McGirt was a two weight champ who had wins over Frankie Warren, Simon Brown and Genaro Leon. all very talented fighters, even if youve probebly never heard of them before. If it means anything to you, Simon Brown ended up knocking out Terry Norris and even challenged Bernard Hopkins 10 or something years later at Middleweight

      are you honestly not going to count Chavez as a win? Im not one to yell robbery usually, but everyone in the world agrees that Whitaker won that fight.

        Well if we use the "small" excuse, might as well say Azumah Nelson was to small for 135

        God I hate the "small" excuse

              Uncle Roger was actually a pretty damned good fighter. He won titles in 2 different weight classes and had a quality win over Sammy Serrano. I don't know if he was necessarily better than Judah, but he wasn't far off. He was every bit the puncher though. Judah on his best night beats him.

              McGirt was an excellent fighter. He would have beaten both Hatton and Judah on his best night. He beats Judah every time they fight actually. Watch him against Simon Brown if you ever get the chance. High degree of skill and awesome technique.

                Yeah sad how some people put down Whitaker on here isn't it?
                How am I putting down Whitaker by saying Mayweather is better? If you dont agree with me then thats your opinion, neither of us are boxing historians. In a few years time we will see ourselves whats what my friend.

                I gave Mayweather a slight nod, not like I said by far? I like Mayweather's accomplishments and names better than Whitaker's even though both of them are my favourite fighters, is that a sin? You guy's act like its not close at all, which is insanity.

                  This is all correct.

                    He's also the linear 168lb. champ.

                    Yeah, he's definitely better than Pea.
