A look into Floyd's last 9 opponents

[Bigg Rigg]

How is he scared to death of Pac, when he offered pac a fight and Pac turned him down.....I dont get how you come to that conclusion. Pac turned down Mayweather. So if we wanna use juvenile statements Pac Ducked May...He said no. He's the one that needed certain cut off days and such for drug testing.

Then when all the drug testing was sorted out, he said PAC has to sign to TMT. Lol

Before that it was take $40 million flat, no ppv while I make $200 million. Floyd has always made it hard to get that fight signed. Had PAC agreed to drug testing the first time, I'm confident Floyd would have came up with something else.

That possible it's a shame it took Pacquaio 3 years to agree in that case.

Surely some of the blame should lay with him for that fact alone?

But clearly he looked extremely good.

Maybe Floyd was possibly part of the reason for his performance? Mosley was universally considered one of the P4P best fighters in the world when he fought him.

Don't Cotto's performances post Floyd mean anything or only the immediate fights after?

For the life of me, how can Cotto not be a good win? How? It was a good win for Trout. It would be a good win form literally anyone else other than Pacquaio and that's solely because he'd just beaten him.

We're going to disagree on Mosley and I've argued it too many times to do it again. Besides, I'm not saying Mosley isn't a good win. It was.

We'll probably disagree here, too, but what exactly has Cotto done since losing to Mayweather? Lose to Trout and beat a shot to **** Martinez.

He's a good win for Trout because Trout was unproven and an underdog. Expectations matter. Mayweather was far more proven and the favorite. No one had any questions about whether Floyd Mayweather could beat Miguel Cotto, especially then.

I would have blamed everything on him had they fought once he agreed to it. But when he did, Floyd came up with other crap that prevented that fight from happening. Even trying to convince us that he doesn't need to fight Pacquiao.

Do either of them get credit for beating the other if the fight happens now?

Yeah but obviously not the way they would have had it happened five yrs ago.

I agree entirely and I hold Floyd in blame for that but the fact it took him 3 years? I think that's definitely accountable for some aswell.

Convenient to consider Martinez shot after the fact but prior he was the heavy favourite much like you're saying for Trout-Cotto. I picked Martinez to destroy Cotto, passed it most definitely but not shot, not IMO. In my eyes obviously a very impressive win. Cotto would be a good win at 154 for literally anyone in the world other than people that have beat him already.

The Pacquiao fight will be a black eye on both of their resumes. But his opponent selection outside of that has been somewhat decent.
