I agree that he should face Tszyu or Harris but it is not all his fault that his promoter wants to not risk him before setting up a PPV fight with Gatti. If anyone has ducked Mayweather in the past it's Freitas and Gatti.
    that sounds like the same thing everyone says about roy jones. but i disagree. jones was never that great to me. once pbf fights quality then we'll see.

      Corrales was considered one of the two best junior lightweights when he fought him and Castillo was considered the best lightweight he fought him so I think so far he has fought the best in his division outside of 140. He is just fighting his second fight at 140 and this is just to setup a fight with Gatti if he beats Leija. Plus Mayweather is an overall better fighter than Roy Jones.

        At present, he needs more than Castillo, Sosa, Manfredy, etc. He may have to fight the guys in the next weight class because it looks like he has cleared his own division at present.

          everyone talks about Gatti, or Tzsyu or Cotto, or whoever ducking Floyd Mayweather. Who has he fought outside of Jose Luis Castillo? I don't get it. It seems that Floyd won't take a very large risk, yet people say it's the OTHER guys ducking HIM.....
          Dude you are crazy. Put Mayweather's resume with any of the top guys and he measures up. In 80% of the cases he's better. Go look at Zoo's resume and look at Floyd's and you tell me who has faught the better guys. He tried to fight Frietas and he wouldnt fight Floyd. He tried to fight Hatton and Gatti and they wouldnt fight him. Look man, the fight he wants is Gatti because Gatti brings everything he wants. The money and the fame. After he fights Gatti then I guarentee you he will fight all big fights. If he fights people like Zoo, Spinks or Harris right now they will be big but not real big. He thinks if he fights Gatti it will be on PPV and if he brawls with him then he can take some of Gatti's fans a become a huge attraction. For example if he fights Harris now it will be on HBO for 2 million but if he fights him after Gatti then it might be on PPV and he can make 5 million. Same with Zoo and Spinks. He thinks after the Gatti fight then they would be worth twice as much. Thats why he changed his style

            Genaro Hernandez
            Angel Manfredy
            Victoriano Sosa

            I think he has a fairly good body of work under his belt so far.
            everyone forgets he KO'd N'DOU who was 31-1 with 30KO's N'dou 1st 18 ko's where within the 4th round. this guy was a power puncher, and floyd went toe to toe with him, and won. PBF has it all.
