Mayweather: "De La Hoya, Mosley Have To Fight Me"

[pelonxsoldier28]

In about two weeks, November 4, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. will meet WBC welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir in Las Vegas, Nevada. He spoke with The Sunday Times, regarding potential opponents Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Shane Mosley. [details]

damn, pbf really thinks he's the best of all time. don't know why, he ain't fought no one to be considered the best of all time yet, he's still got about 9 more real fighters to beat to be considered as such. untill then he needs to stop with the **** he's saying, about if mosley or de la hoya wanna be known as great fighters they have to fight him, sorry floyd, it's the other way around, don't get it twisted, your head is starting blow up like a balloon, one of these real champs are itching to pop it.

[Easy-E]

How much would PBF and DLH make for fighting one another?

There were talks about a purse of approx 55 million dollars.
32-23 mil for DLH and Floyd respectivly according to the rumors.

why did PBF fought Judah after he lost to Baldomir? what ajoke....

And Judah, in Mayweather's second fight, is still a better opponent than anyone Margarito has fought in his entire career...

He said he was ONE of the best.

yeah, because Tony is so much better than Mosley and DLH. Two guys that are bigger and LOCKS for the HOF.
What a joke.

we are in 2006 not 1996.

2006 version of DLH and Mosley would still beat Tony...

[pelonxsoldier28]

He said he was ONE of the best.

on maney occasions he's said he is the greatest there ever was. SOME ONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO HE'S FOUGHT TO CLAIM SUCH A TITLE

Lets go through some opponents since I have a few minutes:
Genaro Hernandez- Only lost to Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather
Carlos Hernandez- From '96-'03, he only lost to Mayweather and Erik Morales
Diego Corralles- Do I really have to tell you he's good?
JL Castillo- Same as Corralles, you already know how good he is.
Jesus Chavez- Since '95, has lost to Mayweather and Erik Morales
Victoiano Sosa- Not claiming he's great, but since '96 has lost to PBF, Cotto and Spadafora
N'Dou- Hadn't lost since '98 until Floyd and Hlatswayo (retired due to illness)
Corley- Not great, but he's no scrub.
Gatti- Again, you already know he's good
Mitchell- Since '94, had only lost to KOSTYA TSZYU in championship fights
Judah- Only loses are to PBF, Tszyu, Baldomir and Spinks. Not bad if you ask me
Plus PBF has beat some other decent fighters to get himself fights with these guys. Its called EARNING your shots. Guys like Mosley can no longer dodge Floyd since he's earned his respect.

As for Floyd saying he is the greatest ever, he says it based on his talent. He is no doubt among the most talented fighters ever. After he gets in the ring with Baldomir, DLH, Mosley and Spinks all within 12 months (give or take) he will no doubt be top 10 all time. How many fighters can move from 130 to 154 in 5/6 years like he will have done next year? Even if you don't like him, you have to respect the fact that he is a 4 division champ and is trying to set up fights with guys who will be hall of famers.

Better than the 40-year-old Randall that Margarito fought. Damn, that was desperate bringing him up...
