Who could Mayweather have beaten to "prove" his greatness to naysayers?

[puga]

its not the weight, its the timing. hatton didnt want it in 05.

exactly my point...

Posters have a hard time seperating floyd pre ODH and "Money may". In 05, floyd wasn't filling arenas or bringing people huge paydays.

Margarito
Paul Williams
Kostya Tszyu
Prime Cotto
Prime Mosley
Winky Wright
Manny Pacquiao
Sergio Martinez

do you think pac should have fought williams and martinez

[shade darkar]

exactly my point...

yes and by the time hatton was ready floyd was the welterweight champion.

No mater who floyd fought and beat, people on this board that hate him would still hate him. The formula is find any fighter floyd didn't beat, play up his strengths, don't discuss his weaknesses, say he would have beaten floyd, then complain that his fans have him winning every fantasy fight, then can his fans gay or nuthuggers.

Sam **** different day!

he would still have haters but would'nt be as much as right now...and the hate would'nt be justified if he did'nt duck the best fights people wanted to see...he would have more respect and love now if (he challneged himself more) than hate, instead of the other way around...

This ^^^ is very accurate.

Not true. I would have no reason to hate floyd if he didn't cherrypick all his fights after castillo.

Like i have no reason to hate Ward, Froch, Marquez etc

[puga]

i know and i dont have a problem with that but to imply(not by you) it was better for hatton to have fought floyd at 47 than 40 is just ******....which is my point..

[Puya]

The Cotto that fought Margarito (first Time) was in a tremendous shape and mindset was solid, he could have game Floyd more problems than what he did recently

[ModernTalking]

Zoo at 140

Margarito/Cotto at 147 in 07

PAC at 147

There's a reason why Floyd didn't win Fighter Of The Decade.
