Floyd has a good resume but he didn't fight the fights that a lot of us who aren't casuals wanted. The fans want to see great fighters challenge themselves and prove they r the best. Floyd fairly or unfairly is held to a higher standard because of his talent.
    You can't please everyone, Mayweather fought everyone that's available and that needed to fight, People act like he duck so so and so but it takes two to tango.

      everyone says that now but back then ppl were saying floyd was ducking him, talking about how mayweather wasnt a real WW and baldomir was too big a and strong for him.

      besides, who exactly was better than baldomir? he beat judah, the man who was undisputed champion at the weight, he in turn knocked out spinks who brought the titles together. nobody gave a damn about margarito, mosley was at 154 and cotto was at 140.

      it was baldomir, spinks and judah who were the three top dogs in the division. mayweather fought judah who he had already been in negotiations to fight before he was upset by baldomir. ppl went crazy talking about how floyd was gonna duck baldo and fight judah then spinks and never take on a legit WW.

      margaritos name didnt come up as a legit challenger until he beat cotto many years later. so can you blame floyd for fighting the guy ppl wanted him to fight and who had the legitimate title?

      thats not true. floyd/margarito was being talked about in 2006. margarito confronted him at the mosley/vargas press conference. floyd was offered 6 mil for that fight. that was the fight people wanted. not baldomir.

          Am sure they do, am also sure Williams wasn't at the level he needed to be and am sure Martinez has his middleweight title to defend, Arum promotes Margarito and they couldn't make a deal, that's why it takes two to tango.

            People sometimes have problems with definitions and argue on different assumptions.

              sergio is more than willing to fight floyd. he said he would come down to 150.

              in 2006 floyd turned down the fight. he was still with top rank back then.

              from 2008-2010 paul williams was at that level. espeically right around the time floyd decided to retire and became a pro wrestler.

                Williams was #2 after beating Marg, he was "at that level"

                      Hey Larry x, those two pac turds are not boxing fans. Their pac fans, therefore you'll never convince them even with logic and facts. Mayweather fans are boxing fans who understand boxing and logic. Pac turds will never understand. Anyone who couldn't see the that Pac was over rated fighting washed up weight drain stationary Fighters in order to look like a punching machine is either deaf dumb or blind maybe all three. Larry x keep up the good post homie!
