The thing is at the time Mayweather retired the tough fight that was there for him at welter was in fact Cotto. I don't make excuses for Floyd I just try to look at things realistically and try not to be too biased. If Floyd comes back and has a welterweight fight it should be whoever considered the best right now. Floyd came up to Welter at a strange time because Zab was supposed to be then man and mailed in a fight against Baldomir and lost. Floyd fought both but the wins were a bit tarnished because Zab underperformed in the previous fight. After that he hit the lottery twice and got Oscar and Hatton. The next fight should have been Cotto. IF he would have been able to beat Cotto he could say he beat the best at welter.
    You're a good poster and have an open mind. I respect that.

      wow...When did we get to the point of name calling???
      I guess thats what people do when they can debate the points.
      But i will not go that route.. I will let you stay down there in the mug...
      while i stand on top of the mountain in this conversation


      Undisputed:generally agreed upon; not subject to dispute

      This means that everybody acknowledge that you did what you had to do to be the man.


      Would it be cool to see floyd give out charity fights sure he could of did it.... i would Love to see floyd fight 4 times a year if he could...

      The difference is, I dont say he NEEDs to do something that brings him to the same place he was already at.

      So to say he NEEDED to fight the whole division when he was already generally acknowledge as the man in the division.. Is ridiculous.

      The goal of every fighter when they fight in a division is to be the man in that division and UNDISPUTED champion in the division.

      Floyd was achieve that goal. He was UNDISPUTED!!


      Cotto didnt, Mosely didnt,Margarito didnt,Williams didnt.

      What they NEEDED to do was become the man in the division. Because none of them separated themselves from each other like floyd did to them...

          Horus I like you. I think the way you post helps keep this board flowing and lively. But you are what you are, and thats a Mayweather fan before a boxing fan. Arguing with you is pointless because Floyd can do no wrong in your eyes. Calling you a "nuthugger" isn't directed at you as a person, but as a Floyd fan who I find unreasonable about Floyd. Thats all, my man.

            Neither Cotto or Floyd pursued this fight at 147.

              All you waving the white flag...


              My dude we all have favorite fighters period.

              But the difference is..
              The same standards you used for mayweather..
              You dont come close to using for nobody else.

              thats when i apply the standards you used for mayweather on other fighters.

              READ THIS POST RIGHT HERE:


              If I had my way I would love to see Floyd fight every 3 months if he could. Because that means he would fight 4 times a year.

              BUT THE 1 HUGE PROBLEM THAT ALL FLOYD FANS SHARE IS THIS:


              Floyd fans have no problem with floyd fighting Other WW's...
              The problem is that People saying he can ONLY fight Welterweights for it to be a legitimate fight and win, when he himself is not really a welterweight compare to the rest of the welterweights...

              People say all he has to fight a real WW and nobody else..!!!

              thats what make floyd fans feel like you guys are bing hypocritical....

              and plus..

              Floyd has already become undisputed WW champion of the world.
              and the lineal title with that...


              So what other award can floyd win at WW that he already havent got???


              • I Didnt see people having a problem with Middleweight Hopkins Fighting a jr.middleweight De La hoya at the time instead of a top middleweight
              • I Didnt see people having with A jr. Middleweight Oscar De La Hoya Fighting a small welterweight in Mayweather at the time instead of a top jr.middleweight
              • I Didnt see people having with Middleweight Marvin Hagler Fighting a jr. Middleweight in Thomas Hearns at the time instead of a top middleweight


              Why is that Mosely& Cotto can call out Pacquaio and Hatton but Floyd can't?
              (which he still havent did)

              Why cant Floyd fight people his own size and even smaller then him when he himself is a small dude fighting bigger dudes all the time is my point...


              People get mad because I apply the standards on other fighters that they apply to Floyd...but my whole thing is dont be a hypocrite.
              1. If you think it is Cool for Pacquaio to fight Hatton...Then you should think it's Cool For Pacquaio to fight Floyd...
              2. If you think It's cool for Floyd to fight Paul Williams, then you should think it's cool for Floyd to fight somebody has tremendous physical advantages over...



              You get my point.... DONT MAKE SPECIAL RULES for Floyd and not everybody else. thats been my problem from day 1.

              DOUBLE STANDARDS

                      Sure. If he is back for multiple fights like they said then its an option.
