    Marquez, never had a fight at welterweight before his bout with Floyd.

    But its ok to fight the guy who never had a fight at 147 before?

    FOH.

      There is always a chance.

      But,
      "Al Haymon doesn't let his fighters fight eachother".

      Paul has wanted the fight.

      We all know who didn't.

              LMAO

              the 4-5 guys he names is some of floyd's best wins.

              no one gives a **** about that other 35 except for corrales and castillo.

              delahoya was not the best in his division. delahoya had 1 fight at 154 in 3 years.

                He can't keep up with the younger dudes or what?
                1) Mosley is a phenom.

                2) JMM wasn't old and past his prime when he went up classes and knocked Diaz out who had never been knocked out before out now was he?

                3) Hatton looked kinda prime when he was dicing up Castillo and Urango up right before.

                4) Nobody was saying Hoya was shot when he stopped Mayorga in 6 the fight before...and add to that Mayorga has never been stopped.

                5) Baldomir...dude fought his way to the big show.

                    Three out of the five fighters you listed fought Pacquiao too and basically you've discredited your hero. Confused much? JMM beat Pacquiao twice.

                    What? Now you're going to tell me how many years apart Mayweather and Pacquiao are to defend your illogical point?

                      Did you not read this,
                      in this portion of his career?

                      Do you not understand what "mostly" means?

                      Since its obvious you don't, I'll tell you.

                      It describes an exception to the rule.

                      In this case, the rule being the fighters were considered "old" and past prime", with Hatton being the exception.

                      I can't believe I have to explain pre-school **** to people that have access to the webl.
