    Stop talking like casual social media, youre supposed to be a long term boxing fan and you still don't understand weight, what weight was Hatton vs Collazo, what weight was Hatton vs KT what weight was Hatton vs Floyd, fight night weights?

        It's criticized because people around the globe think he cherrypicked you don't end your career fighting a c fighter like Andre Berto if you don't want to be criticized that was on him he steered his whole welterweight run stop making excuses

          Floyd mayweather's WW run consisted of mainly lightweights moving up and alot of who's, neither he nor Pacquiao fought a great natural welterweight.

            It would mean they were all good but Crawford is that guy.

              Floyd’s welterweight resume is terrible. What prime undefeated fighters did he beat? Great skills but resume is just not there. Everyone he fought outside Maidana was coming off multiple stoppage losses. Facts not feelings.

                Brook, Porter, Danny, Ugas, Bud + undisputed. Cleaned out the entire division. Could’ve had Thurman but he ducked. And the Pac fight got cancelled. So it’s tight.​
                He didnt duck Thurman.

                Volume wise-Spence has more than double the ww wins as Floyd. While imo Floyd has more quality wins- Zab, Shane, Hatton. Manny, Maidana 2x, JMM- if Spence has the volume, undisputed and a win over Bud would make it him by a slight bit.

                  Huh? He beat Manny at ww. Manny doesnt have any win as good.

                  Manny also lost multiple times at ww to really low quality boxers.

                    Where did I make any excuses?

                    Why is Floyd held to totally different standards than anyone else? I mean I have literally never ever heard another fighter be criticised for the opponent selection of their last fight.
                    Did anyone criticise Holmes for fighting Butterbean in his last fight?

                    Just about every great fighter in history went out facing a soft touch. Its very common for fighters to retire on a soft touch in their hometown.

                    And the thing is most of Buds WW opponents are actually worse than Berto lol, straight up.

                      Berto > Avenysyan, one-legged Benevidez, Jeep Horn, Egor Kavalovski or whatever his name is
