    Mayweather gets so much credit from most because he went up 4weight classes. Cotto wouldn't do that, Margarito is the ***** for picking on these little ass guys because he cant compete in the weight class above his. We all see what happened to Hatton. Its funny how people call Floyd a ***** but you dont see these other fighters moving up. Why? Cuz they scared. Whos the real *****?

        it seems like mayweathers fans and or, the boxing public is buliding or i should say giving credit to mayweather without mayweather even being in the ring with the other big name fighters, i think it is funny and ludacris that mayweather is looked as such an invinsiable caliber fighter, when in my opinon he is showing signs of slowing down and hasn't fought any tough opponets since castillo
        1. Margie still hasn't beaten Williams. So he isn't the "last man standing".

        2. Didn't you score Hopkins / Tarver a draw? So clearly you're ******ed. Good to know.

          Sitting on your wins doesn't cut it and it doesn't guarantee you can't get ktfo in your next fight. He dares compare himself to Robinson and I bet some of you here are even foolish enough to accept it. He's created such a myth of invincibility that he doesn't need to fight for people to accept him as better than anyone he'll face. He's won before even siging a contract.
          All he really has to do to sustain his status is to fuel the public's praise by putting on an excellent performance every couple of years and he's back on top for a couple more. Quite franlkly it's marketing ingenuity.
          Keeping his ardent fans hanging on to watch him fight less than the best and still try to convince everyone he is still the dominant champion is not worthy of someone who has been labeled pound for pound the best fighter. If you are a professional boxer then you box and if you are the best then you fight the best. Leave no questions unanswered.
