    Everyone that hates mayweather acknowledges how good he is. They hate him because he is arguably the biggest waste of talent in the history of boxing. He is so good he should be smashin on the best of the best but he's not...

    He is simply the heavy favorite that's askin that we skip the tournament and just hand him the trophy already because "we all know he'd mop everyone up".

    It doesnt work that way my friend. He has to go out there and earn it by fighting the best of the best.....not just sitting on the sidelines waiting for the last man standing.
    Not even close to being the biggest waste of talent in the history of the sport.

      This is my problem with him, I want to see him tested or have to face adversity in fights he is not heavily favored to win and come back from for a hard earned victory. If he did this he would have more fans....Your right though, if he wasn't that talented ppl wouldn't care so much.

            Still needs to fight him, though. Why leave the question open and have people criticise his career forever, when all he needs to do is make the fight happen and prove how great he is.

            I, for one, think he'd wax Mosley. But he still needs to actually do it, rather than have people speculate upon the prospect.

              i never said he fought bums, i'm saying he's not testing his skills against mosley.

              floyd can't win fights on paper, he has to actually fight them to get credit.

              excuses can't win floyd fights... he's got to actually fight the fights to get credit for them.
