Why didn't Mayweather fight these fighters?

[deliveryman]

floyd would've, floyd could've but guess what, floyd didn't!!!

He has done plenty, and has accomplished far more than Cotto has or ever will.

[deliveryman]

yup and in the meantime floyd will be looking to fight a couple featherweights LOL

Yes, a featherweight who your beloved Cotto (who's way bigger than Floyd) is also interested in fighting. LOL. But then again, of course you would fail to mention that.

I like how you also mention that Pacquiao fighting at Lightweight, weighs the same in the ring as Floyd does fighting at Jr. Middleweight

[Horus]

It wasn't lineal, but he was also The Ring champion at Junior Middle as well.

THE TRUTH ABOUT FLOYD HATERS

I never seen a fighter judge so much in retrospect rather than judge then what the fighters were at the moment. than how people do floyd.

That's like me saying Pavlik should have fought Abraham instead of Taylor the first time. Because Abraham would be a tougher challenge. And everybody knows that Pavlik shouldnt waste his time fighting taylor because He is just going to KO taylor and taylor is not a real challenge the way Abraham is. pavlik was ducking real challenges by fighting taylor instead of Abraham.
Although Taylor was the undisputed Champion and lineal MW champion at the time When Pavlik fought him.
And Avraham was really just a contender.

This sounds crazy right?


But this is exactly How Floyd haters judge Floyd...
They judge him after the fact.

It is so fuccking disgusting.


but it how they think

[Brandish]

most have a problem with race plain and simple. floyd being african american stirs something deep and primal in their senses. floyd is something they don't understand

[Esquire Dale]

Wow, some of you really don't know your stuff.

Mayweather only ever fought for the WBC titles. Thus, only ever fighting the WBC title holders. He then did a mandatory defence, vacated, and moved up.

Plain and simple.

[Motofan]

um well maybe cuzz he retired when he was 30....and he's only 32 as of now you fckin hater. if he didn't fight hatton or hoya then they'd be on the list too. but if you want an explantion:
Paul williams: upcoming star at the time. high risk low reward. At 154 now anyways. belongs at 160
Winky wright: Not the same weight class
Miguel cotto: the only legitmate fight he hasn't taken yet as of now. still has a chance to.
antonio margarito: cheater and bum, enough said
cory spinks: Who the hell wants to watch two ppl with the same style fight? even though he technically won against jermaine, he still isnt on floyd's level
acelino freitas: quitter. gift decision vs casa, lucky win vs barrios. couldn't even beat diaz. end of story
Kosta: timing was never right w/ injuries and other scheduled fights
Shane mosley: his tooth hurt?? lol
joel casamayor: tough challenge, but not in the same weight class anymore. was a nobody b4 the corrales and freitas fights.

So miguel cotto is the only real fighter he has yet to fight. and now he doesn't even have to fight him since he lost to marg. now he can just dominate Pacman for easy money since he is so small and less skilled as a technical boxer.

This should end the thread.

Yet the same people love Ali, Robinson, Leonard, George Foreman, Holyfield ect, ect. Stop crutching race.

[goblin]

Wow [just like me wit manny's fanny's]..Horus has took out every cottofan/floydhater in one fell swoop..impressive horus i must say.

[Da Hammer]

idiots. Some people will never give floyd his propz. Before every fight its these same idiots who pick against floyd everytime then says he dont take any risk.

Really?? i dont know any smart boxing fan that actually picked in his last 3"big" fights Baldomir, De La Hoya or Hatton against floyd even his haters knew he was gonna win those. Where's the risk for Mayweather in any of those fights??? if he would have fought Hatton at 140 maybe i consider it a risk but at 147 it was an easy choice!

but it how they think

It's almost as if people forget that Cory Spinks, Zab Judah, And Baldimir were The Undisputed WW Champions of the world while guys like Margarito were nothing more than no-named titlest. Floyd beat two of the last three Undisputed Champs,back to back, yet he's still unproven? Meanwhile, Cotto is a Clottey induced asswhoopin' away from being damn near irrelevent.

Listen Folks, When Floyd enter the Welter Weight division Zab was the 'Big Bad Wolf,' not Margarito not Cotto. Come to think about it I find it funny that Floyd made to leap into the WW division, 4th division, before Cotto, second. But I digress... Pay atention folks, it goes it this (history lesson time)Vernon Forrest>>>>Mayorga>>>>Cory Spinks>>>>Zab Judah>>>>Baldimir>>>>Floyd Mayweather>>>> ???????? Notice how Cotto nor Marg aren't mentioned?

Winky Wright??? Floyd and Winky had a mimimum if two weight classes separating them for the majority of thier respective careers. For Floyd to even try to make that fight speaks volumes for his courage, determination, and desire to build upon an already great legacy.
