    Why Mayweather doesn't fight boxers thar are taller than him?

    With the exception of De La Hoya who was already done when Mayweather fought him, almost every fighter Floyd has fought is smaller or shorter than him. Why is that? The answer is that a taller fighter would effectively take out Mayweather's best weapon, his shoulder roll defense by punching over the shoulder with ease while not being able to counter punch. I think that's why he didn't fought Margarito and isn't going to fight Shane Mosley. A smaller fighter has to swing wildly to get to Floyd's head and that's when they get counter punched. That's why Pacquaio will not win a fight against Mayweather he's just too short. That fight will be like the first Pacquiao-Morales fight but one sided to Mayweather's favor.

    Tony Pep was 6'1 and Floyd won every single round against him. Corrales was about 5'11 and didnt win a round either. These Floyd haters are getting less knowledgable about the sport every day.

                Tony Pep is a bum. Even Hatton KO'd him. I'm talking about ranked fighters.
