If you could have seen Floyd Mayweather fight 1 of these guys, who would it be?

Excuses are all too easy for Mayweather when it comes to fights not being made.

Tszyu petitioned Showtime for the Mayweather fight, if Mayweather did likewise with HBO it could've been made instead of the Gatti fight, but he always wanted Gatti, because of the hype, and obviously the style. If he wanted to prove himself, logical thing would be to go after the best, not Gatti.

Margarito should've happened, Arum wanted it. Floyd didn't. Arum threw Cotto into more punishing fights than a Mayweather fight would be, FLoyd could've had it if he wanted it, same with Williams.

Any of those were certainly better than the Marquez fights and the time wasted in retirements and vacations. And I give full credit for the Mosley fight unlike some.

Pac was not the only worthy opponent, they all were and all would've added to his legacy. However if he fights Pac he will redeem himself alot as Pac is clearly the greatest of those fighters.

 

That's why I said most fighters on the list, not all. It would have been slightly better, but people would still hate and give him ****. Marg, Cotto, and Willams have all been raped badly. People would have discredited those fights big time.

 

He would be. Those guys were the best of the best from 140-147 in Floyd's time there, all presented different styles and challenges, if he handled them all, with his ATG ability and skill and undoubted legacy at super feather and lightweight, how could he not be? You're just not rating those guys as they should be because Floyd didn't fight them.

Mayweather wanted to Tsuyu. But he had a network and a promoter who called the shots. He wasn't nearly as big then.

And Floyd agreed to the Margarito and Cotto fights, but Arum refused to pay him properly and told his #1p4p fighter that he wasn't gonna get him the 20million dollar fight with DLH.

Seeing has Floyd went on to get 25million, he made the right choice.

 

I would have loved to see the Tszyu fight

 

:rofl

I got to start a thread on this right now. ****ing idiotic logic right here.

So floyd beating tzsyu in 04, cotto mosley and margo as well as williams and pac would make floyd and top 10 ATG :rofl

 

why cant these ***s just stick to the thread question. they got to come in here and police this thread so no one even thinks something bad about floyd. this aint about him you ****ing panty wearing ***gots.

 

My whole point is that the slight increase in resume, doesn't warrant the hate he gets for fights that didn't happen especially when they weren't his fault or they didn't make business sense.

 

If floyd fought all those guys on the list would he be a lock top 10 ATG?

I wanna hear your answer.

 

Ideally Floyd should of fought Pacquiao in November 2010 after Beating Mosley, but if he comes back with a solid victory over Ortiz and Pacquiao looks excellent against Marquez then May 2012 I think it's still going to be bigger than ever.

 

make the thread.
post the question, if he had Tszyu, Cotto, Margarito, Paul Williams and Pac on his resume would posters consider him worthy of being a top ten ATG
