How come Mayweather vs Hopkins never happened?

[b00g13man]

Joel casamoyer at 130 or 135 from 2000-2003

While Casamayor was crafty, I personally didn't think they were all that similar. It was a fight I definitely wanted to see though, more at 135 than anything. Either way, it's not like there were a ton of fighters like that littered around.

Mayweather fought Oscar, so why did he never fight Hopkins during that time period?

WTF. Hopkins was too big for Mayweather. Hopkins is actually a big middleweight. He is not your normal size middleweight like GGG

At least the GGG fight was more possible because someone did it in the past like Duran-Hagler and Armstrong-Garcia.

Edit: Add the timelime, then It doesn't make sense at all

Easy.

Floyd ducked him of course, along with the rest of the MW division.

Because one is a great fighter who would be willing to let it happen and the other wanted no business to do with the other guy, he hid in the same division masquerading under the guise of being too small for divisions north of 154lbs.

I cant take this question seriously, really are you serious ??

You really think Floyd is too small, why did he require an IV to make weight at 147lbs? lol.

Hahaha.....when this was first posted i purposely avoided it on the sheer stupidity that belies it. Days passed and i came back to see it turned into a classic. Thanks NSB. LMAO!!
