      It used to be ww's were ok for floyd. First it was Manny, until he decided he didn't want to take PED tests. Then it was Mosley, until his punch was withstood.

      Then we went to the bigger guys. There was Sergio for a while after he KTFO Pwill. Now its GGG at 154. But this soon will change as soon as Matthysse and Thurman are in the mix to fight floyd.

      SIlly thing is the guys who gave floyd the toughest fights haven't been 1 puch KO guys.
      I'm just amused at the avalanche of excuses that comes with Floyd's 5th title. Too small, too old, don't care about belts, forgot he had a belt, it's not a money fight... I've never seen a boxing champ treated with kid gloves like this by so many fans

        Floyd walks around closer to 147 than 160.

          Totally shameless with the excuses I see

            Good post. It'll take someone like a prime Delahoya/Castillo type to trouble Mayweather again. People underrate Castillo's skills so bad it's maddening.

            You're not getting it done with one punch unless he moves to 168

              No, it's been established Pac is not too small for his 7th weight class. Once he won his belt he never asked a welter opponent to drop a few lbs for being too big, Pac could deal. He found out he could not deal with at his 8th division and dropped the belt asap. Floyd failed to do this in his 5th division before asking for a CW, he gave us all the idea he could handle the weight when he really couldn't

                Pac boy I know your proud to be a Hater but damn. Just kill yourself already. How many real boxing fans think that PAC isn't a cherry-picker also. Get over it. I'm a Floyd and Pac fan, but they fight who they want to fight. They're cherry-pickers, as you would say. You have to be a fan of Floyd's. You mention him and comment in every thread about him.

                  if you search this forum there was a lot of buzz before about how pac should fight martinez so no, floyd is not alone in that regard.

                    I know what your trying to do but you make little sense doing it. Floyd has won all of his titles at the max weight of the division. Now, he is so superior to all other ww's that posters like you spend your time ranting about and making up fake reasons about fights that you know wont happen.

                      So if he won them at max weight, why the need to unify at a CW? Let me guess, he cherrypicked a past prime guy that started way lower, and let him feel comfortable? Near prime natural SWW don't get that luxury. That's some Robin Hood **** if you think about it
