Will Mayweather ever fight an opponent we really want him to?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Margarito pre-retirement
Pacquiao post-retirement
Sergio Martinez now

Mayweather is a 2x champion at 154lbs and he's likely to face Canelo Alvarez there in September. He should face Sergio Martinez at 150lbs, like Martinez suggested.

Mosley fight was everyone's second choice. Everyone wanted Mayweather-Pacquiao over that fight.

You said 10 years. You are a missing a hell of a lot of fighters. Try again.

That was crazy, from welterweight monster to shot old man in 4 months. Only on NSB.


I don't remember Floyd saying that. But I do remember him saying "he's not too old" during the HBO face off. Even if he did say that, so what? What matters is what YOU thought about Mosley. If you thought he was a legit threat then give credit where credit is due.

Not only that but can they say Shane was shot when 95% of the site picked him to knock Berto the **** out? 5 Months before he fought Floyd? LMFAO.

Now the new line is that "but but but Shane hadn't fought in a while." Yeah no **** you ****in clowns because Berto pulled out of the fight that was scheduled in January of 2010.

Boxingscene :

Floyd is scared of Hatton the monster who just destroyed Castillo and Tszyu, hes a undefeated prime champions, floyd will never fight him.

Floyd then beats him

Boxingscene : Hatton is a bum he was out of his weightclass


Boxingscene : omg Mosley just destroyed the baddest man in boxing ( margarito ) there is no way in hell FLoyd will fight him, he was shooked when Mosley entered the ring after his fight.

Floyd beats him

Boxingscene : well Mosley is a granppa


I can go on and on and on



Also Pacquiao gets all the credit in the world for fighting Marquez four times while Mayweather gets ZERO credit for fighting Marquez after a long layoff. And dont begin with the "he cheats the weight" because weight had zero effect on how the fight went on. Floyd didnt dominate marquez by bullying him with his weight

[Phenom]

the answer is No because after Floyd dominates the fight people will say they wanted him to fight the other guy

True story

Why doesn't he fight Martinez at 154. He can fight Cotto at 154, but not Martinez?

There is an opponent for you. No one on this forum would decline watching and paying for that fight. Will he ever fight Martinez. Hell no, and it will just be accepted.

I can guarantee that if Floyd fights Martinez at 154 tomorrow he gets no credit. People will say Martinez was out of his weightclass and weightdrained.

And you got a Marquez avatar? I'll be damned, there are still legit boxing fans in here.

The problem with arguments like this and why I find them annoyingly futile, is because you can pick and choose who you listen to on a forum with thousands of members.

Most realistic people knew Hatton was a good opponent before and after and most realistic people knew Mosley was old before and after.

Of course you can listen to the hyped casuals and come to such ignorant conclusions.

That's complete non sense and completely irrelevant anyways.

Yes 10 years. If you read my article you'll see I said it wasn't all his fault at 140lbs though. Being at HBO and Kostya being at Showtime stopped that one from happening but there was another fighters out there better than Chop-Chop and Henry Brussels. Nobody would have had any complaints had he faced Vivian Harris or Sharmba Mitchell when they had belts. As I said though, any fighter would have taken the Gatti fight and Kostya was on Showtime. It was hard for him to face the best but those fights wern't the one's i'd have chosen.

[PAC-BOY]

ya funny how everyones shot after floyd fights them and instead of giving credit where credit is due it turns into him cherry picking

:AOR: there done before hand mostly. Only the LWs that move up are not washed up. Every fighter that fought Floyd went on to win more fights. :WORD: Duhhhhhh!
