    Mayweather did pick and choose to remain undefeated but maybe we can blame it on the times. It has been the trend for a while and I can't say if he started it or not.

      Hopkins was 39 when Oscar fought him, most people would argue that is passed prime. And Hopkins went on to lose to Jermaine Taylor twice the following year.

      We can pick apart other peoples resumes just as easily. Floyd fought plenty of prime guys. It's just that many of them were not seen as special talents even though they all won world titles. Maidana, Castillo, Guerrero, Hatton were all prime world champions when Floyd fought them but none of them were stand out talents.
      Maidana with pillow gloves only... pf.

        who would you bet your house on to beat him, that he didnt fight?

        im sure it wouldnt be guys like Freitas, Margarito(literally lost to every elite fighter he faced), or paul williams who lost to friggin carlos quintana

        Only guys I'd favor over him are guys that were literally too damn big, like Winky wright who was a career junior middleweight and has fought as high as 170

            People can say what they want to now, but there were posters who had to take to posting on their Alt accounts because of that Mosley fight.

            There were guys screaming from the rooftops that Floyd was scared to death of Mosley. How "shook" he was when Mosley confronted him, etc.

            'bout round 6 they started singing a different tune.
            Mosley has 10 losses and just lost to David avenysan!!11 Not a good win for Floyd

                LOL, That's like saying Tarver doesn't have a good win or RJJ, as he just lost to Enzo Macrinelli (however you spell it)

                The only thing wrong here is both these fighters have gone on way too long, Mosley should have retired after Alverez, and RJJ after Hopkins

                  Didn't you know Frazier's win over Ali is weak because Ali lost to Berbick and is 56-5. LOL!!

                  I think he was joking. If not, This site needs to screen members better.
