All the fights Floyd Jr ducked

Good response except for #8. Joshua Clottey is a good solid fighter that doesn't produce enough money for Floyd to fight. Gatti, Judah, De La Hoya, and Hatton have that fan following that Clottey doesn't have.1) Mayweather said he was willing to fight Cotto many times at 140, but confided in the press that he belived Cotto was too "green." Cotto's team never publicly made a statement claiming they wanted to fight Floyd Mayweather until he announced his retirement after the DLH fight.
2) Mayweather has called out Mosley on numerous occasions, and at one point a fight was almost made. However, Mosley backed out, claming a toothache as the basis for his injury. Talks never truly resumed, although Team Mayweather reached out on numerous occasions.
3) Not worth a response
4) Williams never intended to fight Floyd, talks never took place, and Williams has since moved on to 154 pounds.
5) Not worth a response
6) Berto was way to young and never publicly claimed he could or would fight Floyd on any occasion.
7) Again, not worth a response
8) Not worth a response
9) This is a joke, right?
10) Floyd turned down Marg because he was able to recieve the same amount of money and a shot at the linear title. He also claimed that Marg was a bum who could easily be outboxed, and if he put on a preformance and dominated Marg, he would recieve no credit. Given recent fight results, it is quite obvious that this is the case.
Cheers, mate, and next time try and create a logical argument where you will not be laughed at by the people who read your posts.Comment

Cotto... fine I can live with that.
Mosley... Was a light middleweight for all but 1 fight during PBF's time welterweight.
Quintana... Unknown before he beat Williams, unheard of since he lost to Williams.
Williams... Was fighting at North American title level during PBF's time at the weight.
Cintron... meh, maybe if he hadn't lost to Marg so badly first time round.
Berto... Yes you are ******ed, wasn't even fighting at North American standard at the time PBF was in the weight division.
Collazo... So he should fight the guy who lost to the guy he fought now?
Clottery... none titleholder until late 08 when he beat judah two and a half years AFTER Floyd.
Hlatswayo... Who?
Toni... yeah no problem with that.Comment

I am not going to respond to this it is just a load of bait thread ****... you clearly don't like Mayweather you do nothing but discredit him and give credit to fighters he hasn't fought.
Your blog is ******, saying "Hatton beat him up but got caught with a lucky punch" Hatton was clearly outclassed by him and then was knocked out so it wasn't a valid argument, don't be so biased and bitter at Mayweather just because you don't like him.
I usually respond to these threads and give a honest unbiased opinion but there is no point with you around because you are the most biased person I have ever seen on these forums and I am getting sick of hearing it so I am not going to waste my time.
In your blog it says "If I here (spelling mistake... you mean 'hear') Mayweather's name again I think I am gonna puke!" well you seem to be somewhat hypocritical too then, just get over it and stop crying about it.
Not being funny with you mate you entitled to your opinion but I have no time even speaking to people like you when you are not open to listen to anybody else opinion or response without being a complete ******* about it.
Oh yeah, and Mayweather wanted a fight with Mosley in the past but Mosley didn't want it claiming he had tooth ache... well if he wants a fight with him now for a big pay day then it is his loss because he has had his chance.Comment

LMAO...This is not serious. The one guy he should have fought and didnt was Cotto. Thats the only fight that has made sense for a long time. Half of the guys on your list, had he fought him u would call them bums and criticize Floyd for fighting them. If you were to say Floyd should have fought Cotto then I would agree. This list however isn't realistic.In no order..... (#1)Miguel Cotto-(#2)Shane Mosley(#3)Carlos Quintana(#4)Paul Williams(#5)Kirmit Cintron(#6)Andre Berto(#7)Luis Collazo(#8)Joshua Clottey(#9)Isaac Hlatswayo(#10)Antonio Margarito (turned down 9million) Here is a list of his opponents in last 5yrs... (2004)140lb- DeMarcus Corley 28w-2L wonUD .(2005) 139lb-Henery Bruseles 21w-2Lwon TKO8 (2005)140lb-Arturo Gatti 39w-6L WonTKO6.(2005)145lb-Sharmba Mitchell 56w-4L TKO6 (2006) 145lb-Zab Judah 34w-3L wonUD (2006) first--147lb Carlos Baldomir 43w-9L won UD.(2007) 154lb-Ocar DeLaHoya 38w-4L won SD! (2007) 147lb Ricky Hatton 43w-0L won TKO. Record speaks for is self!!!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CORLEY; Not a top 10 worthy opponent..> BRUSELES ; Another lack luster opponent ! GATTI; way past his prime, 4fight of the year that took a lot out of him!> SHARMBA MITCHELL; Way past prime 35yrs old!!> ZAB JUDAH; Aint been right since Kosta Tszyu.> CARLOS BALDOMIR; fist fight at 147 gimme a break.>OSCAR DELAHOYA; Past prime and still gave Jr, problems. sd lost!>RICKY HATTON ; nice win... lucky punch...Deserves a re match... so does DLH!!! Compare yourself.... P4P my ass!!! LOOK AT THE PEOPLE HE FOUGHT AND THEN LOOK AT WHO HE FOUGHT.... SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!!Comment

While Mayweather's resume is fine below 140, Henry Bruseles and Sharmba Mitchell were pretty damn bad.
I think he took the Mitchell fight just to see how he would do at 147. Then Zab which is a money fight, and Baldomir was champ, so I understand his path.
DLH and Hatton represented this most money out there so I can see why he took those fights. He made bank at welter. He didn't have to fight the best.
Honestly, it would have probably been ****** if he did. He just made so much money against his last two opponents, I think people would've questioned his sanity if he fought the others for a ton less.Comment
