How Would You Feel About Floyd Mayweathers Resume If....

At that time Baldomir was a better win to be honest.
Gatti was the nr 1 Ring Magazine contender and Kostya just quit against Hatton.

 

Right here. :deal It made more sense for a Cotto fight after both had moved to 147. But well said. Exactly what I was going to post. Thanks for saving me the time.

People love to try and use the "Haters would say he ducked Baldomir!!" excuse, if he went w/ Margarito rather then Carlos. Rubbish.

And also, Kostya had a fight by fight agreement w/ SHO. He wasn't under exclusive agreement that many think. That little tidbit was mentioned in a Btalk interview, confirmed by their attorneys.

 

Come on, everybody knows Baldomir is terrible. SLOW. When he fought Floyd he had TEN losses. No one would dare say Floyd ducked a guy with ten losses to fight an undefeated Cotto - ludicrous.

 

atsch No..."EVERYONE" does not say the same ****in thing. You guys need to stop saying **** like that. It's just a weak argument and means nothing really.

But Cotto at 140 was too green for Floyd when Floyd challenged him.

As stated, it made the most sense at 147 when Floyd decided to 'retire'..

 

All this thread proves to me is how much Judah overachieved in winning even a round or two from Floyd. What a disappointment Zab is.

 

Which is still one of his best wins.

BOXING: Mayweather wants challenges, gets mismatches


Floyd Mayweather Jr., the world's finest boxer, is fighting Sharmba Mitchell on Nov. 19 in Portland, Ore., in a bout that is such a mismatch it doesn't belong on network television.

It will, though, be on HBO, as will the, ahem, classic, middleweight match between Winky Wright and Sam Soliman a month later.

These are the kinds of matchups that occur when a television network gives a fighter a date and, in essence, tells him to find an acceptable opponent. The way to do it, if you have the fans in mind and want to show the best fights, is to make the match first, then assign a date.

But Mayweather, incredulously, is being blamed for having to fight Mitchell. After filleting Mitchell, which should take seven or eight rounds, Mayweather will have completed a year in which none of three fighters he faced -- Henry Bruseles, Arturo Gatti and Mitchell -- were any kind of a threat to him.

Few active fighters relish challenges more than Mayweather. Diego Corrales comes to mind, but the list of those who always want to fight the toughest fights possible is shorter than Verne Troyer's (aka Mini-Me's) inseam.

"I can't make these guys fight," said an exasperated Mayweather, who had hoped to face Wright in what would have been one of the year's most intriguing bouts instead of what will turn out to be nothing more than a glorified exhibition.

Former lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight champion Shane Mosley was offered a bout against Mayweather, but declined.

Mosley said he wanted a couple of tuneups, but said he'd fight Mayweather next year.

Kostya Tszyu isn't sure he'll fight again. His conqueror, Ricky Hatton, turned Mayweather down before money was even discussed.

Oscar De La Hoya has mentioned Mayweather, but said he won't consider him until late 2006.

That's around the time when Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said he'd be willing to put young and promising Miguel Cotto in against Mayweather.

There were others, including undisputed welterweight champion Zab Judah, but they couldn't come close to contract terms.

And boxers know there are two ways to get out of a fight: simply by saying no, as Hatton did, or by asking for more money than promoters will be able to pay.

 

A perfect resume for Mayweather would be...

Hamed and Mosley in 1999 at 130 and 135.
Morales and Freitas in 2000 at 130.
Casamayor in 2001 at 130.
Spadafora and Tszyu in 2003 at 135 and 140.
Vivian Harris at 140 in 2004.
Hatton at 140 in 2005.
Williams at 147 in 2007
Margarito and Cotto at 147 in 2008
Pacquiao at 147 in 2009 or 2010.

 

:huh Green refers to professional experience Teddy. Not rocket science. Floyd had been a world champ several times over when he challenged a 23-0 Cotto.

You automatically think HATER WAAY too quickly dude. And WTF do you care what *******s see? Is that what's important to you? Pleasing *******s opinions? :roll:

 

I bet there are people who blame Floyd for every single one of these fights not happening

 

He already ducked Pac for May. Floyd will be remembered as a ducker and be known more for who he ducked than who he beat. He'll always be remembered as Pac's #2. Deal with it.
