      You and I both know Mayweather fought an older Mosley, as did Pac and as did Canelo. Vargas and DLH fought the stronger version. And hey, Mosley wasn't exactly a beast. He was good but the guy started out at 135 where he was a real destroyer. His losses to Forrest and Wright proved he had plenty of flaws in his game way before he fought Mayweather. You know this of course, but either you're an idiot or just somebody who repeats what others say.
      Now you're rewriting history. You said Mayweather avoided threats. At the time Mosley was viewed as a threat. So how did he avoid threats? DERP DERP DERP

      Mayweather cherry picked the #3 P4P fighter that nobody wanted to fight. That's some great logic there ******.

        I like debating with you Larry but them negotiations went both ways. Floyd knew what he needed to offer manny in order to come to terms on a fights

        But *** it im not trying to get into it. I know where you stand and I'm in no mode to rehash that sad era of boxing.

          He needed to offer Pacquiao the freedom to juice until his head got so big it exploded.

            I said he was viewed as a threat in 08(at least still a threat). You don't mention Margarito or Williams who were in their primes and ready to go. Typical glossing over what Mayweather does and then name calling and the whole "rewrite history" jab. Hell, everyone claims that when anyone disagrees.

              Prime Margarito that got KO'd by Mosley? Who Mayweather fought. I'm not glossing over anything i'm telling you facts. Mosley was viewed as one of the best in the world and people thought Mayweather would avoid him. Mayweather fought him and then ******s like you decided to call it a cherry pick.

              Here's a good thread for you.



              Mayweather made an hit list of fighters that people said he wouldn't do, he fought them all back to back, apart from Pacquiao who turned down a 50/50 offer over drug testing. Cherry picking though.

                  It was a styles thing. Margarito could walk through most guy's punches but he couldn't walk through Mosley's who has always had a hard right hand. Mayweather would not have been able to keep him off of him with power like that. He didn't have that kind of power. And you are glossing it over. You know you are. Top 3 p4p whatever. We all know p4p is mythic and doesn't matter in the scheme of real boxing. Dunth. Ha.

                    P4P is who people view as the best fighters in the world. It doesn't mean anything?

                    "Fighting a fighter viewed as one of the top 3 in the entire sport doesn't mean anything"

                    You look at the hit list thread ******?




                    He fought them all back to back. Doesn't mean anything.

                      The weakness of the era made it look weak. It's not like the last 15 years have have been a golden age for middleweights or featherweights. It's not just Floyd's divisions.
