But believe it ot not, fighters used to fight all other fighters in their prime and do it proudly.
    Manfredy, Corrales, C. Hernandez, Chavez, Castillo, Judah, Hatton, and Ortiz were all in their primes.

    G. Hernandez, G. Vargas, Gatti, Baldomir, Marquez, and Cotto were all past their prime-still good.

    De La Hoya and Mosley were past their primes.

    And as for Floyd "avoiding" Margarito, Cotto, and Pacquiao, here's some food for thought.

    Arum admitted that in 2006, when Floyd didn't fought Margarito and instead fought WBC/RING WW champ Baldomir, that Floyd wanted to fight Margarito. But Arum said he couldn't guarantee Mayweather 8 million for Margarito, 10 million for Cotto and Hatton, and 20 million for De La Hoya. Though I must admit, I think Floyd had the Oscar fight on his mind, knowing it was possible if Oscar beat Mayorga.

    And with Cotto, Mayweather had voiced anting to fight Cotto in 2005 at 140, but Top Rank openly said Cotto wasn't ready for Floyd. Cotto himself said he was not going for that fight. Cotto leaves TR and the fight is made.

    And with Pacquiao, we all know everything that's happened with that.

    I'm just saying...

    Anyways, most people on here are miserable boxing fans.

      Floyd already has a loss in his record to the great Castillo
      that is why he gave him a rematch , won it by SD , ended it on his ass in the middle of the ring

          Floyd beat him convingly in the rematch and neither fight was a SD officially.

            can you please explain how arum was supposed to guarantee floyd 10 million to fight cotto when cotto was still at 140 and wasn't even a ppv fighter yet? Also factoring in mayweather's career high purse at that point was 5 million how is this not outpricing yourself? he only got a 10 million guarantee when he fought delahoya and he's asking for 10 million to fight cotto come on now. if arum can't guarantee 1 billion dollars for floyd to fight pac i guess pac is ducking too?

              If you read further, I said Floyd probably had the Oscar fight on his mind as well. I believe Margarito was maybe the only fight Floyd found a way around at the time.

              But I stand by what I said earlier, 90% of the people on here are miserable boxing fans and/or morons.

                I agree with this, no way he could guarantee him anything close to 10 million. Just like he couldn't guarantee him 8-10 million to fight a maragarito who was fighting on Friday night fights.

                  calzaghe? lol. 46-0... 15 years.... he fought twice a year too. if he fought once a year he couldve stretched it out longer. haha....

                  but i see what you're trying to do here. floyd is free. so youre happy. s'all good. lets all sing his praises.

                  i would like to see a tune-up for floyd... then possibly canelo (since he wants floyd so bad).

                      It's just a simple question. All you had to do was answer. Yeah, he's done nothing special? You seriously have to be a total idiot if you think that. You don't like him, which is fine and maybe you think he's done nothing special in the past few years but to completely diminish his entire career is just plain idiotic.

                      For the same reason it's so important for you to diminish all of his accomplishments. Are you really that dumb that you don't get it? You clearly haven't been watching boxing very long.

                      You are so boring. We all know about the first Castillo fight that he arguably lost. Nothing can be done about it and he erased any doubts in the rematch.
