        Mago was an unknown so he would have got ripped. Cotto and Floyd SHOULD have fought when Cotto beat Mosley but neither guy was interested in the fight. Paul Williams was not well know at that time either. Al Haymon also doesn't like to match up his guys against each other for what ever reason. The nly person on your list that made scenes was Cotto and you can blame both sides for that fight not happening.

            lets see what happens in the future.....so far floyd aint proving the critics wrong by fighting a much smaller fighter in a weight jmm never fought,not to mention 3 div higher than his natural weight..

                just because something is repeated over and over again doesn't make it true, but floyd's contradictions make it horrible to defend him.

                  well firstly because he is a ****. but boxing needs ****s to make it intresting. if there were no ****s then fights would never be personal. i.e - hatton mayweather. hatton could not stand mayweather because he was a ****y ****! haye wlad - again haye acts like a ****, but it makes the fight much more intresting from a fans point of you. ( when that fight happens now )

                  mayweather makes so much of the fact he hasnt been beaten when really castillo won their first fight. The Judge’s scores read as follows:

                  John Keane of England – 115-111 for Mayweather

                  Jerry Roth of Nevada- 115-111 for Mayweather

                  Anek Hongtongkam of Thailand-116-111 for Mayweather

                  Harold Lederman of HBO had it-115-111 for Castillo.

                  All the announcers, including Foreman had Castillo ahead.

                  The Punch Stats:

                  Castillo Mayweather

                  203 landed 157

                  506 thrown 448

                  40% Percentage 35%

                  Power Punching Stats:

                  Castillo Mayweather

                  173 Landed 66

                  377 Thrown 151

                  46% Percentage 44%

                  so really mayweather is lucky to still have his 0. add the fact he hasnt fought the likes of cotto margarito mosley williams etc, and the fact that he has had his last few fights at 147 or above, but picks the 135lb champ. What a **** he can be!

                    Critics are critics and don't care about truth or being reasonable. For example like you said Floyd is fighting a smaller fighter in JMM. No doubt about it. Now on most threads there are people talking about how all Floyd does is fight smaller fighters and who else he is going to go after in smaller weight divisions. Now even if you hate Floyd you would have to agree that it is Ironic that people are making the case that he picks on smaller fighter no? The truth of the situation is not important because dislike for a fighter trumps all. It allows people to rewrite history and hold fighters to unique standards that constantly change.
