    Morales wasn't exactly his best at 130, so Floyd probably puts a whooping on him and wins the decision, I have enough respect for El Terrible's chin to say he goes the distance.

      Actually this whole convo started because you think anyone that Floyd called out was scared of him.

        Mayweather was going to moved up from 140 to fight this dude.

        Remember after the Mosely fight, who Called Winky Wright Out?

        No other than Floyd Mayweather himself....

        and the only reason the fight didnt happen was because winky wanted a 50/50 split.


        Looking back on that decision, Winky have to be kicking himself in the head everyday because Mayweather went on to became the face of boxing. and Winky is still looking for fights.
        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.

          Huh?

          I said they wanted no parts of him. It most likely has everything to do with the fact that he was a high risk , low reward type of guy back then, no?

            How do you come to the conclusion that Tyzsu wanted no parts of Mayweather?

              Oh... Ok.. I thought you meant legally a reason why they couldn't fight.

              That was nothing legally about that. It was just Winky being ****** thinking he is worth more than he actually is.

              Hell he out priced himself for Oscar too.

              Oscar offered him 6mil. Winky turned him down? He wanted more money? Who in their right mind turns down Oscar ****ing De la Hoya?

              Winky lost so many big opportunities it is unbelievable.

              Also out priced himself out of the Taylor rematch.

                He also had a chance to rematch a shot Vargas and passed.

                  I don't think he fought at 130 again after Castillo did he or am I missing something?

                  And, I don't think the JCC that fought at 130 was the same JCC that fought Randall years and I mean years later.
                  From what I saw from Chavez at 130 against Rocky Lockridge,he would have been a clear loser to Mayweather.

                    And as far as Hamed

                    He was only 5-4 and said he wasn't leaving 126 for anyone. He was the cash king at HBO, had a nice fight plan layed out, and actually told Floyd..."no he isn't fighting at a catchweight, if he wants to fight, come down to 126". Floyd couldn't make the weight (on top of Hamed having 7-10 different options at that time) so the fight wasn't made.


                    Again Hamed didn't ducked Floyd. Thats like Paul Williams asking Manny to move up to 154, but Manny tell him to come to 147 instead. Paul Williams, like Floyd during that time, wasn't in position to dictate any demands, esp. to a star like Hamed, so unless you agreed to his terms, the fight wouldn't get made. I mean we saw the same thing later on when Floyd had to bend to Oscars demands. The difference then and between Hamed was Floyd could actually make the weight Oscar wanted. Against Hamed he couldn't.

                      I guess you're ducking questions again.
