Hard to say. Probably not taking big fights, just being content to protect whatever piece of the alphabet pie you've acquired. There are some foreign fighters who can hardly help it though, impoverished and questing to earn a decent living. Management plays a role.

At 140 Mayweather is more dangerous than 147, He hasnt even grown properly into his 147 frame when he fought Hatton, if you compare people like Williams,Margarito and cotto to Mayweather in his fight with Hatton then you would know you're looking at 140Ib fighter.
Moreover Billy graham said it also that they would only fight one fighter at 147 and that Mayweather because he feels(And hatton said this himself also) that Hatton is the same size has Mayweather if not bigger.

Get a grip. Floyd knew Hatton couldnt go at 147 which is why he postponed his "retirement" for another easy payday.
LOL.......................

Stay at 140 for what? Errrr I dunno.......to dominate the division. Isnt that what Great fighters do? Not pick up a belt and a paycheque and move on. Mayweather picked on Gatti cos he was shot and it got him a payday/PPV slot, then moved on to bigger things........Sharmba Mitchell

Try and stay focus, discuss boxing and make some sense. Nobody is twisting quotes apart from you mate, Graham didnt say they're fighting Mayweather at 147 for the money..He said they were fighting Mayweather at 147 because he isnt any different from Hatton in size.
Mayweather was right not to stay at 140 because the division wasnt that great if you take out Hatton and cotto, Tsyzu was gone/lost, gatti was gone/lost, He would have had to stay and fight people like Harris, Witter, Torres etc and you know how the fans would kill him for it.
All Graham quotes are on skysports archive if you need them to hear how Mayweather isnt a welterweight, and hatton's interviews are still there on how he stood next to PBF and they were the same size.
Hatton never wanted the fight at 140 and thats what happened.

As far as any poster who gives any reason for a boxer being a coward, you can have a Coke and a smile and take heed to these words:
On being called scared, a bum, or coward by fans :
MARCUS RHODE: It doesn’t bother me because the simple fact is half these guys have never put the leather on, they have never been hit, never been nothing. It doesn’t bother me because all they can do is run their mouth because if they could get in the ring they would have gotten in there...
