        JMM, picked up the two biggest wins of his career, according to you,

        at lightweight,

        not welterweight. Try again.

        Hatton was JR. welter, not a welterweight. Try again.

        Baldo had what, 9 losses at the time? Having losses was the main reason he didn't fight Margarito. Try again.

          paul williams has not been fighting at ww and he has been tied up to fights. he wasnt moving down from mw to ww in one fight. be serious. and name one top fighter that was willing to take the risk of fighting williams at the lower weights anyways.

            He can't keep up with the younger dudes or what?
            cause floyd is so good he doesn't need to fight actual fights against opponents that have a chance to win. he already beats them in fantasy fights.

                But then Paul Williams' (28) resume would look like this:

                Floyd Mayweather, 33

                Kermit Cintron, 30

                Sergio Martinez, 35

                Winky Wright, 38

                Verno Phillips, 40


                So why the double standard?

                  Juan Manuel Marquez never fought at welterweight, much less jr. welterweight before.

                  Why does it matter if Paul hasn't fought at 147 for awhile? He in fact did though, and even held a title there.

                  Marquez never fought there, ever, and it was quite alright to a whole lot of you.

                  Can you explain the double standard?

                    Whos to say I wouldn't be critical of Paul as well?

                    Even as a fan of his,

                    I have been.

                    Don't try to assume to know what I think and how I operate.

                    You have no clue.


                    So again, lets not do the switcheroo here.
                    We're talking about Floyd right now.

                    How come he can't fight younger guys in their prime?
