Mayweather’s Hit List Includes Pacquiao, Mosley, Cotto

You know you can take any fighter in any era and dissect their wins and losses like this? From Ali to Henry Armstrong to jack Dempsey to SRL. People do it to Floyd because of his "attitude" and because he calls himself TBE.
If you were to be completely objective who can you logically rank higher than Floyd in this era? Also where would you rank him all time. I'm curious
floyd's the best head to head fighter of the era, but manny has the better resume. he has wins over hall of famers at or near their primes, and his WW resume benefits from the fact that he's a genuinely smaller man. floyd fans dispute this as a way to discredit the manny resume. history books will not.
i'd have picked floyd to win a decision at any point or weight in their careers.
i spent a few grand to fly me and my father out to see floyd mayweather. i'm a fan. i call things like i see them on bscene. i'm human, and i do have biases, but they're nothing liek the ones you see from posters who consistently find themselves on one side of the childish, often raced based, manny - floyd war.Comment

When you only have the left hand to worry about, you move around more freely. If you watch the Cotto fight right now you will see a lot of missed opportunities, given he had a right hand worth nothing. Do the same with DLH, it's almost scary when you think about it. That's no knock on Pacquiao, he did what he had to do given the opposition but go look at that. Against Mayweather that luxury was gone. Mayweather controlled distance well enough to see what Pacquiao was plotting and he had more than lefts to offer.Comment

But the mass of people in this thread saying he would never fight any of them knew Cotto had his brains bashed in by Margarito and he was already signed to fight Pacquaio.
The Mosley fight literally happened as soon as it possibly could after this article was written.
I don't understand why points keep getting brought up before this article was written. That's the whole point it's getting bumped because when he made the "hitlist" no one believed he would fight any of them let alone all of them.
As for Pacquaio being shot. That's just ridiculous, IMO.

at or near the top of the division.
again, that does not mean they were not faded, which is why your post was a red herring. you argue like a child.Comment

That's crazy. This was from 2009.
At the time it was
2009
1. Pac 2. Shane 3 Floyd 4. Cotto 5. Clottey 5. Margarito 6. Berto 7. Collazo
2010
1. Pac 2. Floyd 3. Berto 4. Cotto
2011
1 Pac 2 Floyd 3. Ortiz 4. Berto
2012
1 Floyd 2 Marquez 3 Guerrero 4 Pac
2013
1 Floyd 2 Bradley 3. Marquez 4. Pac
2014
1 Floyd 2 Pac 3 Brook 4 Bradley
These dudes between the 2 of them have wiped that division out. It will be interesting to see if they stick around for the new comers.Comment

and you completely ignore the fact that manny's legs were lightyears away from what they used to be, instead focusing on TBE. the luxury of having freaking legs was gone! hello? is anybody home?
you're all predictable, to say the least.Comment

They weren't the only ones in decline. Mayweather was already slowing when he fought Mosley. But more importantly, beating a fighter at or near the top of the division is a big accomplishment. Beating a slew of them is **insert adjective here**. That's what were saying as much as the real kids keep whining about that.Comment

In fact how about Cotto, you can say survival mode all you want but how exactly did Pacquaio look in the later stages of that fight? I'd say amateurish really.Comment

according you to, mayweather wasn't in his prime at all at welterweight. you should go back way further than shane
that's f#cking ******ed, of course, and your card has subsequently been pulled on determining what it means for a fighter to be in his is prime.
and yes, moneyteamers; he actually said that. you guys go to freaking lengths.Comment
