No I don't agree, the timing of the fights were never so that you could consider any of them legitimate threats. It may seem unfair but that's how most people see it, Floyd is a very skilled guy who simply never pushed himself, and that matters more than a lot of people here are willing to admit. Also his performances for some of those fights weren't great, but you have pretty low standards when it comes to that so why bother.

Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View PostI don't really read into that. The timing of all of those fights was disappointing for a fighter of Mayweather's calibre.
Cotto was badly beaten up twice before Mayweather fought him and the fight could have taken place earlier.
Pacquaio was knocked out cold for 5 minutes by Marquez. The fight could have taken place earlier.
Mosley was out about 16 months before Mayweather finally decided to fight him. Took a natural disaster in Haiti for it to happen.
Floyd has those wins, yes, but none are over those fighters in their prime. Not even looking at the circumstances. The "Prime ATG" still isn't there for a fighter of his caliber.

Floyd has to push himself to fight middleweights for u to give him credit huh? Those guys larry mentioned would have been considered threats to anyone not named floyd mayweather
I have never pushed for the Golovkin fight, it's unrealistic, and Floyd would have never taken the fight before much less now that he is older.

PAC
Cotto
Margs
Pwill
Martinez
Mosley
Winky
Would have been good scraps
Just to name a few.
The funny thing is Larry and his legion of ball washing minyons are so narrow minded that if you have anything negative to say about Floyd or if you don't agree with what they post you are labeled a hater.
They act as if Floyd is perfect and has done no wrong and never have anything negative to say.
Floyd never asked for testing as soon as PAC becomes him biggest threat
-he on peds doe
-blood test or no fight
His minyons oh he is cleaning up the sport.
He fights Andre fawking Berto on PPV
-he earned an easy fight
-Berto called him out doe
-it's his farewell fight doe
Fawking idiots
