Amir Khan has been tuning up for Mayweather for the past 2 years

I think the concept of what a tune up is, is lost in this thread. Some people got it, others are just mentioning upsets that were not tune-ups.

Floyd Mayweather made some mistakes fighting some opponents that were too easy.

Went and dominated prime Gatti and made Hatton and Cotto say "oh no way I'm ready to fight Mayweather, hes too good"

- LINEAL CHAMPION of 140 was AFRAID to fight a guy who MOVED UP from 130 lbs.


Floyd Mayweather dominated and won every round against prime Marquez. Paquiao said "oh no way, mayweather just destroyed the guy that I needed uncle bob's judges to get past twice, better come up with some excuses"

Money is too good sometimes it costs him the big fights.

Oscar vs Sturm but De La Hoya got the nod. I remember B hop praying in the locker room like don't f**k this up fish nets.
