    The excuses from the Mayweather fans for Mayweather not fighting Margarito/Cotto/Mosley the last few years have been that he isn't a Welterweight fighter. If he's not a Welterweight and he can't/won't make Light Welterweight, what weight division is he?

        that mayweather is funny,wants jmm to go all the way up,,pacman did it,but it's different,oscar is shot,and he knew that,if that wasn't the case,why not stay there and challenge cotto,clottey?...because he knows they are young and at their peak,,,,mayweather can go to jr welter,and even though,he still has the advantage,i think marquez is too small,he looked like that at lightweight,can't imagine how he will look at jr welter....

          I'm not suprised that Floyd would stoop to this **** since this would be the most skilled fighter Floyd has even fought. What a chicken****!!!

            Actually, I don't know that those excuses were made.

            If I recall correctly, Cotto turned down a fight at 140, and Mosley turned down a fight at 147... on national TV. Floyd famously told Margarito (on video) to build his name up for a future fight. So PBF definitely turned down overtures from Margarito.

            From my observations, Floyd has been interested in fighting the biggest commercial fights. If that is deserving of criticism, then let him have it. Both guns blazing.

            I do not think that somebody can look at Floyd's career and say that he ducked guys because they were too big. He has been the smaller man in most of his fights. He ducked guys because their dollars weren't big enough.

            Al, I understand that you want to criticize any and everything that Floyd says and does. But be balanced. Some things are worthy of criticism. And some are not.

                  Sure he has but only on his terms so he gets all the money and has all the advantage in the fight.

                  I don't really think Floyd is scared of these great fighters but i do think he is such a selfish ***ing pig that he lowballs people to the point where they have no other choice but to say *** off!

                    A Mosley fight would probably make Floyd more than a JMM fight, so why is he choosing JMM instead of Mosley?

                      JMM called out PBF not the other way around. So Money May has the right to demand want he wants. Didn't Oscar has some demands on PBF on their fight.

                      And i am not a PBF fan.
