The point of this thread is that if Floyd cherrypicks what exactly is the criteria? What about his opponents, other than usually coming off their best wins, make Mayweather say "let's fight this guy"
Floyd Beats them at their Best, Pac their worse

I agree bro. Btw show you don't care about karma by hiding it. Green or red it don't matter, remove that from the haters hands.Seriously since moving to 135, the only cat Pac has really fought that wasn't damaged goods was Clottey. But fortunately for Pac, Clottey is a guy who doesn't throw punches.
Floyd in his last 5-7, with the exception of Sharmba Mitchell has fought guys at their perceived best.
Gatti was supposedly resurgent and supposedly had all these new skills courtesy of Buddy Mcgirt, the air was let out that tire in 6 rounds.
Zab had lost to Baldy by not taking him seriously but then he shows up many times better and sharper vs Floyd, and gets beaten.
So rather than avoid Baldy who just defeated Floyds last two opponents Zab and Gatti, Floyd fights him and Baldy at that time was clearly at his best, regardless of how low that peak is in comparison to Floyd.
Oscar was at his best weight 154, coming off one of his best wins over Mayorga, Oscar would of beaten many fighters that night but Floyd is not most fighters. It would take a Pac contracted move to 145 lbs before Oscar became a zombiefied.
Hatton was clearly at his peak, KOing Castillo with a body shot. Moving up in weight a few pounds should of helped him more than hurt him and thats real talk. And its not like Floyd was a big Welterweight, he was bloody smaller than Hatton.
Marquez, despite what you haters may think was still in his prime when he lost to Floyd at 144 or however much he weighed. Yeah he came up in weight, but coming up is still better than going down. One thing is for sure, Marquez had just defeated Casamayor and Diaz, that's a fighter on a high note, not a low.
Mosley, yep, was the top welterweight and beat the snot out of Margarito...had Floyd fought him say coming off a performance such as vs Sergio Mora, then that would of seemed like a ***** move wouldn't it?
When Floyd fights Pac, which is certain to happen as soon as Manroid gets over his fear of needles....again Floyd will be facing a guy at his best, and will embarrass Pac just like he does all his other opponents.
Now as far as Pac fighting guys at their best.......sorry but that just dont happen.Comment

and u people are crying when pac asked jmm to fight him at 147? lol hahahahComment

yeah Floyd beat Hatton at his best in 147 lbs whos a career 140 lbs and a lineal champ, beat a 38 years old Mosley at his best after inactivity for more than a year and lost to Cotto which FLoyd ducked and beat JMM at his best in Welterweight while his a career 135 lbs and below all his life. that make senseComment

Does Floyd go out of his way to compromise his opponents? Like you know who. Catchweight was JMM's idea or do u believe Floyd should've defended his welterweight title vs Hattons at 145lb? That would be a Pac-like thing wouldn't It?
My point is that his opponents are usually always on a high when they face him, only Zab was coming off a loss, but it was still a controversial decision, not a beatdown.Comment

Bro, I know you support Floyd and all. Yes, he was a beast in his earlier days, but what has he really done these last few years? Come out of "retirement", have 2 fights that did good #s but the opponents and all the drama that came with them, the Pac negotiations, and now his legal troubles. Its surprising people still support this.
Floyd's "Money" persona if its an act its ruining his boxing career and his life. Its a shame that floyd wanted to be a celebrity first, then a boxer.Comment
