    Like your boy Pacquaio. Fought diaz at 135 and no one else?
    Fought hatton at 140 but no bradley, and the rest of the good fighters at 140?
    Like fighting cotto who was destroyed by margarito, but not mayweather or mosley at 147?

      Lol "prime" Cotto. He's only 29 and has 2 losses. He just sucks, he's not past prime.

        The Corrales fight was an EVEN money fight...Corrales was not a high betting favorite in that fight although as fight time grew closer alot of really respectable fight scribes were picking Diego despite the turmoil he was going through.

          Right when the division gets hot with Top Rank fighters? Cotto and Margarito are far from hot atm. They lost to lesser fighters than Mayweather skill-wise. There was nothing to duck there.

              I would have like to see Floyd fight Kostya Tszyu or Joel Casamayor-Im not saying they would have won or lost but they had styles that would have given Floyd a real challenge.

                  There's nothing to duck in Margarito and Cotto or nothing to make a rivalry out of those two. If anything Margarito and Cotto is a good rivalry but Cotto doesn't even want to avenge his loss, instead lost to Pacquiao.

                  Mayweather-Mosley is the rivalry that should have happened if Mosley decided to take Floyd's first call out back in 2005.

                    Mayweather no doubt is a skilled fighter but the only thing he lacks are big cajones to fight worthy opponents. If only he fought Cotto, Margarito, and Paul Williams and beat them... for sure nobody will talk **** about him.

                      That said, how many Welters outside of Mosley has Floyd fought?

                      And I mean legitimate Welters...
