Alright, you tell me which one of the following fighters you can envision Mayweather facing in the future. And if not, you can enter in Pretty Girl's alibi next to the name:

Miguel Cotto
Antonio Margarito
Carlos Quintana
Luis Collazo
Vivian Harris

These are all top guys in his weight range, why wont he face them?

lol @ pretty girl

Miguel Cotto - Be totally honest with yourself Bob Arum even said he wouldnt put Cotto in there with Mayweather yet, hes not nearly experienced enough

Margarito - Like Dan Rafael Said an i quote '' Although he wants to face Mayweather, his vocal campaign for the fight came up short. Baldomir simply deserved the bout with Mayweather more than Margarito based strictly on their résumés. That leaves Margarito to defend his belt in Atlantic City, N.J., on Showtime''

Quintana- Why would he fight Quintana what would he get out of it, his guy was a nobody 12months ago, when has quintana ever even shown an interest

Luis Collazo - Lost his last fight ,brings no money to the table or recognition

Vivian Harris -


il tell ya what why didnt you do the opposite an ask why Mosey,Hatton wont fight PBf

I already know Mosley and Hatton don't want it, they're equally commercial. I just listed a couple of hungry guys who wouldn't mind the payday. Mad props to Collazo for calling out Margarito, I know for sure King and Collazo's people had Arum running on that one.

Margarito wanted PBF for the payday,

Margarito is the biggest fraud in boxing today there have been several top name fighters who have called him out and he hasnt responed

Kassim Ouma
Winky Wright
Zab Judah


Rivera sent him a open letter saying he wants 2 fight him and Margaritos weak response was talk 2 my promoter
Quintana done the right thing mad mad respect to him he told Arum 2 stfu said he didnt want step aside money and he said he wants to be on that December card because he not interested in step-aside money

but you also cant fault Arum as a promoter he has turned Margarito into something hes not through words

Definitely, the message I was conveying in my article was that Margarito was not as serious as people say. He's not the most avoided guy in the division, but it's Collazo. Margarito is a guy who I have always felt was a very good club fighter. I dunno, he's just never impressed me.

Quintana is serious business. I didn't realize how real he was until the Julio fight. He took Julio to the cleaners.

I've probably said this before but one thing that many dont comprehend is the status of p4p #1.
Being number one, not justin boxing, but everywhere, is not a luxury but a virtue.
Being numer uno means that you are the man to be beat, and that means that you have to fight all incoming opponents to succesfully preserve the status.
Thus, since Floyd is the so'called #1(even though from that perspective, Pacman deserves the #1 spot more) he has to fight all the chllengers, money or no money.
Get the logic?
Its great that he will fight Baldy(even though amongst challengers, stylewise, Baldy should cause him the least problems) But it is the other fighters that are the bigger challenge to Floyd. Will he take on them, time will tell.

theres just nothin there in Margarito, every fighter has 1 attribute that yuo stop look at and say whoa, imo it was how well quintana knew his way around a ring vs julio, he always knew were he was and was comfortable anywere in the ring

or

the way Collazo like pernell whitaker can stand in front of you and still outbox you without using ring generalship

with tony hes just tall an slow his power is overrated and the best fighter hes fought he got beat by, controversial or not he lost
