Mayweather has consistently avoided the best available opposition (Great Article)

[The Big Dunn]

your was not a simple question, its a loaded one.

you should know that being #1 at a weight doesnt mean you are among the best in the sport--especially when that division is weak, which it was. i hope that clears things up. and mosley wasnt #1 at welter, he was ranked #1 by the wbc. kind of a big difference no? wasnt floyd the #1? see that is what happens when you just cavalierly toss out "#1" you lose sight of the whole story.

I never said cotto was best in the sport -see your doing it again.

its not a loaded question at all. just because an honest answer refutes your theory doesn't make the question loaded or problematic.

Mosley was the lineal champ when he fought floyd and was considered the #1 ww by many. or did you forget.

the bottom line is you know where each was ranked when floyd fought them. were they prime, no. when they were prime, they choose not to fight floyd for whatever reason(s).

ARe there fighters you wanted to see floyd fight but didn't, yes. Does he deserve criticism for some of them, maybe. But to elevate margs and pwill based solely on the fights not happening is ridiculous.

This is the definition of hating...the Hauser's article should not be lumped together with this.

Floyd would rather trade blows with his baby mama instead of facing Pacwarrior. There wanna say I'm hating I might as well make it worth it. Kind of funny coming from the thread starter. This must be a way for you to try to save face somehow.

Pacs fans are uniting in this thread. I love it, lmao!

Pac was knocked out by a straight left, a body shot. And a right hand. I think rios will ko Pac with his uppercut. That'll be 4 different type punches that Pac was kod by.

Rios did that? Damn. GGG literally punched Floyd's head off his shoulders and just the skin on Floyds neck was left floppily leaving red stains in his chest. Ofcourse Floyd was shot at the time of this fight due to Pacman beating him over 10 lopsided rounds before Floyd had a second stool brought into the ring for Roger so they could both sit on the stool and quit the fight at the same time.

Doesn't take much to get you excited, careful you don't have an accident in your pants.

critisize floyd all you want but facts are facts

Canelo-unified champ at 154,#1 fighter there

Guerrero-interim wbc champ-#2 at ww

Cotto-#1 fighter at 154 WBA champion

Ortiz-WBC champion#2 ww

Shane-WBA champion-#1 ww

Guerrero #2 at welterweight? How is that possible when you have guys like Mayweather (himself), Marquez, Pac, Bradley, Alexander, Maidana, etc. at the weight. Is this something the Ring/GBP rankings said... When you put those fights into perspective it doesn't really look all that good.

Floyd should've foght the winner right?

so by saying cotto was #1 what do you want people to think? you DONT want them to think he was a top fighter? jeez, listen to yourself

hauser's points are more detailed than just "elevating Pwill and margs"

[dc3383]

Yes people will also see his fights, but fans also read books, they will also see the fights of Pacquiao, Martinez, Margarito, Williams and wonder why Mayweather never fought these fighters if he were so good.

They will also see the like of Oscar, Mosley and Cotto were past their prime.

In these books what are they going to when people see Martinez and Floyd was never the same division; what will they say when they see Srrgio was willing to go down to fight two welterweights but wouldnt go up one division to fight Andre Ward hummm. The only thing they will read about Margarito is his wrap scandal and Paul Williams career got cut shirt because of a bike accident not that they were ATG fighters.

i didnt start the thread


im trying to make a point that defending floyd across the board is lame and that acknowledging he has faults isnt the end of the world

when you make dumb comments like that all the groupies just think every comment criticizing floyd is hating. understand? but hey do what you gotta do man
