Why did Mayweather's level of competition deteriorate after Castillo?

[BASILISK]

Ricky Hatton=good
Oscar De La Hoya=past prime good
Carlos Manuel Baldomir=lucky fringe contender
Zab Judah=fringe
Sharmba Mitchell=fringe
Arturo Gatti=fringe
Henry Bruseles=bum
DeMarcus Corley= a little better than bum
Phillip N'dou=bum
Victoriano Sosa=bum

He fought only 2 good fighters after the castillo fight. Why did he take such rubbish fights?

Sosa is not a bum he was so damn talented and a complete fighter, he just didn't have power. Btw, not saying tha becuz he is Dominican. Hatton was a good win but we'd never know how good Hatton is becuz Hatton didn't fight Witter Toress Cotto @ 140 and many more. I'd say Hatton is still unproven. Gatti has always been a punching bag. Zab on the other hand, that was a fight EVERYONE wanted to see. If you were a boxing fan at the time you'd know that was a fight people wanted to see becuz Zab had faster hand speed and more power then Mayweather and could box beutifully, Watch the Zab vs Spinks and Corely.

Mosely and Winky didn't wana fight Mayweather. Cotto didn't wana fight Mayweather @ 140. They diss his resume but don't look at the fighters Mayweather called out.

I'd still say so. Should have said he didn't have enough power. Joan Guzman is complete, wouldn't you say?

That bout was absolutely asstastic. Neither put their best effort forward it didn't look like.

Other than that absolutely devastating crushing left hand that Judah dropped Corley with, that bout was, like you said, extremely average.
