I think the biggest mistake Floyd made in his perfect career was moving up in weight and proving that he can dominate higher divisions. If he would have just stayed in the SAME division over a period of years like Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe or Margarito I think he'd get more respect.
Floyd is punished by his critics just for being better than everybody else. No one accuses Margarito of ducking Kelly Pavlik or Mikkel Kessler, because we all know Margarito can not handle anyone his own height or natural weight. We put this burden on Mayweather because we think he can take it.
We are asking a former superfeatherweight champ to clean up a division 3 levels up from the one he started in! And if this former superfeatherweight refuses to clean up this division he will be considered a coward and a failure!!!
He shouldve never left superfeatherweight.
