    I think the reason he hasn't fought everyone is money, only big money motivates him to fight, that's why he was keen on Oscar and on an Oscar rematch, keen on Hatton and a Hatton rematch, why he wouldn't fight Cotto because he wasn't name at that point. The guy is money on the brain and to be honest it's a good thing he is because he can't handle money, if he's not getting robbed, he's throwing it away.

      then why Floyd walked out of the Oscar Rematch?

        Probably because the money wasn't going to be right as Oscar was probably still trying to treat him like a ***** even after he beat him.

          But the thing about the money argument is...

          No matter who he fights, he gets money. Fighting somebody(anybody) is worth more money than not fighting somebody...

            For all the BS surrounding Mayweather he has only legitimately ducked two fighters, he hasn't fought a few more especially 140-147 but only ducked Cotto and Margacheato.

              agree, he dont fight with Tszyu prime Cotto, Margarito. In my opinion floyd can win all this fights, probably the money they offered was not much greater than what they offered to fight with a more acsecible fighter

                There's a difference between big money and money. When you're used to big money the little money doesn't seem worth all that training and stress.

                  Money is money. Truely wealthy people realise this. You think a real business man would turn down a few million because it wasn't "enough".

                  And as for training, Floyd trains even when he's not fighting. So he might as well get paid for it.

                    IMHO it would still have been PBF's biggest payday, bigger than Ricky or the Marquez fights....

                      I dont think PBF had the chance or opportunity to meet a prime Tszyu, IMHO Floyd would have faced the same Tszyu that Ricky fought ....
