**2001 Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs 2005 Erik Morales @ 130**

That is all true......but would that fight have gotten on HBO PPV at that particular tiem???? Prob not. Floyd had some fights at 135 and moved up to chase a "PPV" fight with Gatti.

As for Ndou....it's obvious what that fight was about......Floyd fought him in this ometown and needed an opponent he could look really good against....thats prob wouldn't have happened against SJ, which would have been a chess match.

OK Sosa was not a PPV fight. And, a Johnston fight would not have been in PPV either.

There is no excuse from either Shane or Floyd not to fight Stevie Johnston while they were at 135.

None.

I know Floyd expressed interest in the fight verbally.....i have no idea if it was ever considered by any parties.......and you are prob right....


.....but i ask this question......



Was there any excuse for Pac not to fight Joan Guzman????

Both had cleaned out the division to a point where the only logical fight that remained was btw each other too see who was the best....it didn't happen......

None at all. He should of fought Guzman instead of the unnecessary Barrera rematch.

Of course the JMM rematch> Guzman. But, no excuses on why he didn't fight Guzman and instead fought a rematch with a guy he dominated and was coming off a lost.

There will always be fights that should have gotten made.....but didn't....


the one i really waqnted to see was KT (my favourite at the time) vs PBF at 140.......but there you had Showtime vs HBO..........

imagine that fight at 140.....KT vs PBF........EPIC!!!!!

I remember me and my friends spoke about that in school and we all agreed, Winky would have beaten Floyd. I don't know what Floyd was thinking, I'm not one to doubt Floyd but thats an opponent I don't see Floyd beating.

Yeah, Winky's size and style would have made a difference in that one. At that time Floyd wasn't ready.,

[IMDAZED]

My take is I see alot of b.s. in this thread about Floyd calling out these fighters and by them not accepting they are somehow "scared" or were ducking him. Hamed, Morales, Barrera Tszyu etc never ducked Floyd. To say such things is very foolish and naive.

You don't know what you're talking about. Just fall back.

I'd pick Floyd over a prime Morales. The one at 130 would get KO'ed. I would have picked Marquez over Morales too.

[Horus]

Morales would have got beaten more badley than Mayweather beat Genero.

Morales would have got beaten more badley than Mayweather beat Genero.

Yea, I can't believe that many people actually voted Morales TKO/KO...

C'mon son....
