Floyd Mayweather fights too Many Rusty fighters.

[coreyg100]

I know why floyd don't get respect from Pacquiao fans. Mayweather has Mostly fought Rusty fighters ( And Now Green as Grass Prospects like Victor Ortiz ). He rarely fought a Prime fighter.
Lets make lists:

Prospects: Victor Ortiz

Prime Fighters: Ricky Hatton, Zab Judah, Diego Corrales

A Little Bit Past Prime: Juan Manuel Marquez,

Rusty and out of prime fighters: Arturo Gatti, Sugar Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya

This is why he needs Pacquiao on his resume. He fights to many out of prime fighters. He needs Pac on his resume to prove that he will fight a good fighter around their prime. It is known to me that Floyd is great. The question is that is he the BEST. Until he fights Pacquiao, That is uncertain.

Ortiz is not a prospect.

He was Champion and he lost it, Than he regained a title.

That's not a prospect.

According to you pacq resume looks the same.

[Soda_Popinski]

your own logic just killed Pac Man's resume...

what does it say about Pac if he fought two of the guys (DLH, SSM) you listed as "rusty out of prime fighters" AFTER Mayweather beat them....then he fought one of the "prime" guys (Hatton) Mayweather beat after he became a "rusty our of prime" fighter.

Now he is going to fight JMM...who according to you was "A Little Bit Past Prime" two years ago...meaning he is at the very least rustier and a little more past prime...if not full fledged "Rusty Past Prime."

this is the beauty of the nuthugger/hater...they are so idiotic that they make arguments against the guy they hate that make their own fighter look WORSE!

[The Hammer]

I've been critical of Floyd's cherry-pickng in the past.

But I have no problem with Victor Ortiz as an opponent for him.

Ortiz is coming into his prime now, and unlike most of Floyd's previous smaller opponents like JMM and Hatton, Ortiz is the same size as Floyd.

I'm looking forward to the fight and hoping for an upset!

pacman beat cotto and margarito

both of those, especially cotto could beat PBF

giving sugar shane a payday made him look even worse

especially when the old man almost knocked his head off

Ortiz isnt green as grass where does that come from? This is clearly just a hate thread and since you brought up Pacquiao and i see hes your favorite fighter i have to ask if Mosley and De La Hoya were past prime when Mayweather fought them, do yo consider them good wins for Pacquiao? Remember Mayweather beat them first. What about Hatton? Mayweather took his undefeated record before Pacquiao ran into him. As far as Marquez goes if you say he was a little past prime when Mayweather got him, what is he now that Pacquiao is fighting him more than 2 years later. I know you were just trying to discredit Mayweather with this but when you think about what you said you are actually taking some of the shine off Mannys wins too by downplaying his opponents.

If he stayed in retirement people would be complaining. Whoever he fights people are complaining.

Cotto - AFTER he was DEMOLISHED by Margarito and has never been quite the same since

Margarito - AFTER he was DEMOLISHED by "old man" Sugar Shane
