    Totally agree, but the fact was that those guys were so much bigger than mike and they could absorb his shots and lay on him, and really make mike work, and if your mike's handlers, why would you wanna give him a fight vs guys that are gonna make him work, when everyone knows mike was pretty much checked out in that stage of his career..
    Jirov, moorer, mesi would have been bigger name fights plus easier for mike to hurt

        Not the worst but possibly top ten would be Amir khan sitting out a whole year in hopes of landing a Mayweather fight . Passing up a shot at Devon Alexander's title just to get passed up on himself by Mayweather .
