    If Mayweather was to beat only ONE of the big 3 WW's, would you be satisfied?

    I have heard that the real reason that Floyd retired is his hands. I heard this from the guy that got us VIP at the "World Awaits" Tour.

    They say his hands are really brittle and they will not hold up more than one more fight. It's either rest his hands and have one more fight, or some kind of surgery to fix his hands and no more fighting.

    So the question is, if he came back for one last fight, and easily beat (wide UD, or TKO) either Williams, Cotto, or Margs, would that satisfy you?


    Would that make his claim as an ATG (Top 10), or do you think that he will still have too much unfinished business?

    Just a conversation I has today. Just wondering what you guys would think.

    No, he is far from an ATG.

      Why not Margs and Williams?

      Margs beat Cotto.

      What if he Beats Margs and Cotto with WIDE UD's, and doesnt fight Paul?

      But remember he only has one fight left in his hands.

      Which one of the 3 would make his argument that much greater?

        If we're talkin top 10 ATG then he'd have to do something amazin/ shocking type ****. Basically, winner of Paul/ Margarito and then Pavlik. Beating those 2 ain't gonna make you Top 10 ATG even on top of a GREAT resume like Mayweather's...Don't jump the gun now Flawless

          Margarito lost to Williams, therefore he is the best WW. If it one fight it has to be Williams as he will clean out 147 and 154 and win titles in 160 and 168 and make Mayweather resume look awesome

            Would it prove his greatness? Definitely. I wouldn't be satisfied tho cuz he's in his prime and good enough to beat all of em, so why not fight em?

              I'm telling you, his hands are f-ucked up. He only has one last fight in them. Once he has surgery he is done. His hands wont stand up to 2 more fights. Believe me. I dont know what the consequences are, but I know its major. Like having permanent carpal tunnel and very arthritic hand his whole life, or some **** like that.

                Just like people say that Miguel is too small to move up anymore weight because of his height, Mayweather wold never be able to hit 154 or over. He is just naturally too small. He was 150 for the Oscar fight, I think. And that was at Junior Middle.

                  To be an ATG, you need to beat all the top contenders in your weight class or near by to be seen as a great.

                    So its a no?

                    I am telling you, he will fight ONE and ONLY ONE more fight. He will have permanent damage if he fights more than that.

                    That is why he is one this 2 year hiatus. He couldnt take an immediate fight because of his hands. It was either have surgery and retire now, or take some time off, let his hands heal as much as they could, and fight one more fight.
