I still don't understand how Margarito and Paul Williams became the standard bearer of fighters Mayweather should have fought to make his resume more legit. And now Angulo!!! I'm a fan of all 3 of them but no way do I think either one of them stood a chance. As a WW Williams probably had the best chance but I can't imagine Mayweather not being able to figure him out too. Margarito and Angulo are way too slow to apply enough pressure to pose a serious threat. If or when Mayweather gets beat it will because he either overstayed his welcome in boxing or he uncharacteristically decide to come into a fight unprepared. Until either one of those things happen I'm not betting against him. If he has another dominant performance against Canelo you might as well forget about him losing anytime soon, because he has the best chance to beat him.

Do you see the difference in people rejecting floyd in 2000-05 when he brought zero money to the table and had no name outside of hardcore fans, and then people wanting to fight him post-oscar because floyd brought the biggest paycheck... but did floyd make the big fights everyone wanted to see,,, nope, he didnt, he chose fake retirement and b-level opponents and old shot fighters like cotto and shane
When it was in boxings best interest and not theirs they declined to fight floyd. When its in their best finacial interest then they fight floyd. So they did what was best for their pockets and floyd did same.
You are basically asking floyd to put the sport first when others didn't. That's seems unequal. Of course everyone wants to fight you when its in their best finacial interest. That's not for the good of the sport that's for individual profit.
I get your points but you can't have it both ways. These men turned floyd down and then agree to fight only when its in their best financial interest yet you kill floyd because you believe he put profit first as they did.

If I remember correctly the fans wanted Floyd to fight PAC but Floyd cherry picked Josie.Manny Pacquiao will never fight a Golden Boy fighter. Why will we not put Manny Pacquiao in with a Golden Boy fighter? Because they defamed him. They defamed a guy whose apiration is to be president of his country and a world leader," said Arum.
"They said that he cheated and that he took performance enhancing drugs with no basis at all. None at all" said Arum. "And they were the ones who started the whole thing. So, if you're Manny Pacquiao, do you want them to be involved with your promotion after they did a horrendous thing like that?"
Asked if he knew what Mayweather's current status with Golden Boy Promotions is, Arum said, "Floyd is no longer associated with Golden Boy. End of story," adding, "I don't know anything unequivocally, but I believe that to be the case."

You hype up all these guys off of popularity instead of skill or how their style matches up against Floyd's style, instead we of the normal you scared, he's ducking..to dangerous comments...of guys that Floyd would beat easily.
Instead of hyping up the Canelo fight, you guys should have been hyping up Austin Trout Vs Floyd Mayweather after Trout's win over Cotto.
Instead of hyping up Ortiz you should have been hyping up Lara Vs Mayweather.
Instead of hyping up Delahoya you should have been hyping up Paul Williams.
My point is, the most dangerous fights for Floyd stylewise is usually not against the most popular guys.
This is one of the dumbest post i ever seen.Debunking time.
Canelo brings in more money,and Trout slow ass would not give Floyd problems anyway.To even have a remote chance at beating Floyd you gotta have speed which is a trait Trout lacks.
Ortiz was wbc champion coming off of a good win and has a lot of speed and power,Lara had no belts and is slow.You have no chance at beating Floyd if your slow
Delahoya at the time was WBC champion and coming off of a win over 2 division champ Mayorga.Paul Willaims was still a prospect at that time;he had no big wins what`s over.
