    Floyds last three opponents have called him out

    have u guyz noticed this?

    hatton called him out when he beat castillo
    marquez called him before the mayweather fight happened
    mosley called him out at the marquez fight

    all road leads to floyd mayweather....floyd isnt chasing fighters, the other fighters are chasing floyd, the PPV and Compubox king.

    All those fighters are GBP. Easier to make. Part of their business strategy.

        I hope after Paul Williams beats Kermie this weekend, he looks into the camera and calls Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao out at 147.

        P Willy has the style to give both Pac and May serious problems. He's the 2010 version of Vernon Forest.

        Lets do it!

                floyd already expressed a fight with martinez is possible for the middleweight title and so did martinez promoter di bella (di bella has a good working relationship with floyds team)

                  Doesn't matter. Everyone calls out the big names. That's not how or why fights are made. Ray Hatton said he and Team Mayweather were in negotiations for over a year before the fight was signed. Ricky talking about Floyd after stopping Castillo just added some nice build-up to the fight. Mayweather-Marquez was obviously made to outsell Pacquiao-Marquez, and for Floyd to clearly beat Marquez for bragging rights and negotiating leverage on Pacquiao. Since Mayweather-Pacquiao fell apart, Mosley was the biggest money-fight for Mayweather to take, not to mention it would shut down a lot of criticism towards Floyd. When fighters who are low financial reward call out the big names, they usually get ignored. Or in the case with Leonard-Pryor, a relative "low-ball" offer.

                  Call-outs just give press conference boxing fans unnecessary hard-ons.
