    If we ll agree that PBF is a natural JWW, why do you INSIST...

    ...that he fight all of "the top Welterweights"?

    People say that Winky "was too big" for Shane. Tito "didn't belong at 160". Ricky Hatton "should stay at 140". Etc.

    But, somehow, miraculously, when it comes to FMJ, he should fight outside of his natural class.

    Interesting. Discuss.

      PBF isn’t allowed to fight people his size.

        I asked you this yesterday TS. Since you passionate Floydboys know him beatin SSM and/or Cotto would get his critics to STFU and acknowledge his greatness, why the **** are you so against those fights? He'd likely UD SSM and probably KO Cotto. Nothin to be afraid of.

            we are not against the fight we are against the bull**** where people say floyd can't be great at 147 until he beats mosl;ey or cotto who are not great welterwegiths. shane has no legacy at 147 and neighter does cotto.

            I could see if cotto was on a title defense streak or was undefeated at 147 for 4 years..but he has a worse legacy then floyd at 147.

              Then why do you guys INSIST on claiming he would DESTROY ALL THE TOP WW's?

              its as easy as that. Floyd and his girls claim he's unbeatable in any class he's fought in, then people ask for him to fight the best, and then Floyd girls start crying that he's unfairly judged.

              So what is it?

              Floyd could easily beat Cotto, Margarito, Williams, Mosley but at the same time is too small for WW?

              Thats how ****** you guys sound.

                You guys called him the best Welterweight in the world, YOU did. Remember? When he had the WBC and Ring Belt? According to Floyd fans, FLOYD was the best WW in the world.

                So now he's too small to fight WW's?

                  If he fights at welterweight, then shouldn't he fight the best? It's his choice to fight at welterweight.

                    Ok, so I am a Floyd fan. However, I wouldn't mind seeing him fight Cotto or Mosley. There are so much politics to boxing, so you never see fighters fight said fighter.

                    Floyd wanted Mosley, Mosley didn't want Floyd at the time because he was in the spotlight and had his nose in the air so complained of a tooth ache so he didn't have to fight the rising young star. Mosley wanted Floyd when he was out of the spotlight, Floyd wanted nothing to do with him because Mosley was out of the spotlight(same as Mosley when Floyd wanted him). You cant make money if the fighter is out of the spotlight. Thus the fight never happened. They like to play phone tag and hint at fighting each other but it will never happen.


                    Cotto's manager wanted nothing to do with Floyd, therefore it never happened. Why would he not want Cotto to fight Floyd? because the risk is too high. Its obvious to managers but for some reason not to fans that Floyd has no problems going to decision. Hence, managers dont want anything to do with Floyd. Why? Because when a man will rather go to a decision than **** with you, your going to be taking a big big big risk. Thus Cotto never fought Mayweather. Because Cotto was on the rise and his manager didn't want him to lose by a cheap decision.(yes, his manager thought he would lose)

                    Im not saying Floyd would easily beat any of them. Im saying that when you have a KO artist(Cotto) and a damn good finisher(mosley) going up against a man who rather pot shot you and get a decision victory(Mayweather). If your a manager, you want money, and a loss equals less money not only for that fight purse but fans will stop wanting to watch you(which equals declining revenue of fighter). Thus its in the manager's best interest to stay away from Mayweather.

                    Think about it. Mayweather's last two fights were against DLH(manager of himself) and Hatton(in the spotlight at the time and undefeated) who was a champion and not on the rise and had a name for himself. So the thoughts of him losing to Mayweather were not evident. Makes sense about the manager thing now right?

                    So, to make money and keep fighter revenue high. People avoid Mayweather. Why? Because managers know that he will pot shot to an easy victory.

                    However, now in this present moment. Anybody and everybody would accept a challange from Mayweather. Even Mosley who is in the spotlight right now. Mayweather knows this.... he will pick his next fight carefully.
