    This is another reason why Floyd doesn't belong with ATG fighters.

    Muhammad Ali fought in the UK, mainland Europe, Africa, and the Philippines. Other greats like Lewis, the Klitschkos, Foreman, Duran, etc had the courage to fight in other countries.

    Floyd needs not only to ALWAYS fight in the US, he requires the comforts of his home town, Las Vegas.

    Floyd Mayweather = Sven Ottke, however I rate Ottke higher because he fought the best prime opponents in his own weight division, while Mayweather is afraid to fight a prime welterweight.

    Mayweather does have the talent and skills to become an ATG, but sadly, he lacks COURAGE.

      Listen, Im not a fan of Floyds cherry picking either, but he doesnt NEED to fight outside the US....unless he was gonna face Hatton at 140 WHEN Hatton was the lineal champ...and Hatton was like, ' if you want it come get it'....but other than that....nopers..

            Ali fought where the money took him.
            Example The rumble in the jungle. The president of zaire put up the money for the fight to happen so they fought in zaire.'

            The klitschkos must fight outside of the Ukraine to even be known.
            Its nothing about courage.

            Everyone comes to america to make the big money and big fights.
            Example after Abraham KO'ed Taylor he said he wants to take the American crowd. Vitali has said the same. So if you have a base in America why go anywhere else?

              He's a coward who relies on gift decisions and handpicked opponents to get his win.

                    what smw would calzaghe had fought in america? the majority of top smw were european
