Who else gets credit for signing a contract or fighting someone in their weightclass? It's what you're supposed to do.
It isn't that he deserves credit for fighting within the same weight class,but he deserves credit for taking on the best fighter within his weightclass-especially when people say he doesnt.I don't see why Manny (who is also a welter) deserves any credit for fighting the man who officially lost to the man.Out of the two fights,I will have to give credit where it is due,based on the challenge. Mayweather deserves more credit for this fight.Unfortunately- there are going to be excuses from people who would have heaped praise for Manny if he took on Shane,but neglect the same courtesy for Floyd doing this.That is the double standards with fans of boxers as opposed to fans of the sport.
Let's be honest here-the majority of people are excited and glad to see Mayweather fight Mosely for the most part.Even a lot of Pacquiao fans are showing more interest and enthusiasm for the Floyd/Shane fight than the Manny/Clottey fight....it says it all.It shows the gap of talent between Manny's current opponent as opposed to Floyd's.Last edited by damned1974; 02-04-2010, 01:02 AM.
