Mayweather has never taken on a number 1 fighter in the last 8 years

Should've, Would've, Could've

Didn't

Deal with it.

:thumbsup

 

Within 8 years, guys who were #1:
2012- Cotto was #1 at 154
2010- Mosley was #1 at 147, ahead of both May and Pac, and #3 P4P
2006- Baldomir was lineal champion

Hon. mentions:
2011- Ortiz was #3, behind only May and Pac
2009- JMM was lineal champion at 135, fought at 147, and #2 P4P
2007- Hatton was lineal champion at 140, fought at 147, and #7 P4P
2005- Gatti was #1 at 140, although in reality #2 behind lineal champ KT

Oscar was #4 at 154, Judah was I believe the same at 147 after the Baldomir loss, Sharmba was an unranked former JWW tuneup at WW, Bruseles was a pointless fight and the worst of his world level/titlist career going into the Gatti fight at JWW.

 

17 years of dominance
Makes way more than Pac
85 million a year
43-0
Slick and Black
22000 ft mansion
unbeatable
never knocked down

:hi:

 

And what guys did Pacquiao fight that Mayweather wouldn't have toyed with? atsch

Respect to Morales but at that stage when he beat up Pacquiao, Mayweather would have played with him like Raheem did.

 

You do know your thread is an epic fail bc it is false.
Also you do know that Margarito got busted for having hand wraps right? So he loss all his credibility as "Most fear Welter". For all we know he probably wouldn't even be champion if it wasn't for them. But anyways, the hype is done, the man is a fraud, he got exposed and now his success will be forever questioned. Any idiot who is still harping about Margarito is a desperate idiot.

Now... i do not know what you make you think that Margo is a better fight than an Oscar fight. So you can try to ***** all you want but i can assure that no one on this forum would agree with you that Margo is a tougher/more lurcurative fight than Oscar de la hoya.

No matter how you twist it. Floyd has beaten the num1 guy in the divisions, considered or not. On paper or not.

 

In order of what I underline, what I disagree with. Everything else is the truth.

1. Baldomir was def losing clearly to Clottey before a BS DQ. But it wasn't a total 100% beatdown like you imply, and that was many years prior. Something like 7 years. Don't know how big of a deal that is compared to his impressive 8 year winning streak he was on entering the Floyd fight.

2. "You cannot stay number one by virtue of ducking someone." Cute little theory you got there. But utter bull****. Opinion does not equal fact and your opinion does not surpass the overall consensus. Come on, everyone is better than having this shitty ******ed outlook. That statement shows your agenda driven post here. Grasping for anything.

3. Wow, really? Wouldn't get as many chances if he wasn't American? I could say that Brits wouldn't get nearly as many chances if they were from Eastern Europe rather than the island and that would also be true to some extent. Get over it.

4. You're absolutely right about Ortiz and Berto, but in some fairness, Berto was #3 behind only May and Pac, and Ortiz inherited that spot from Berto with the epic win.

5. Cotto's resume at 154 was 3 fights and thin. That said, at some point as little as anybody would admit, a certain "P4P" type merit does play a role. And, believe it or not, there aren't more than a couple guys at the time who would have had a case for being ranked higher (pretty much just Alvarez, Molina, Lara, that's it).

6. Mayweather was offered 8 mil to face Margarito. He was also offered 8 mil to face Baldomir. I don't fault him for picking the lineal champion of those two.

 

Unlike you, I am not listing my opinion.

Those all were the Ring Magazine's rankings. As well as the consensus of fans in both polls and conversation.

No "bull" here, only in your mind.

 

Still drunk?

 

So what he's still alot better then the china man.

 

More like a closet Pacturd with an agenda to discredit Floyd AS USUAL.

The truth is that Floyd is fighting guys coming off sensational wins while Pac is fighting guys coming off bad beatings. Quit acting like you are on a honorable boxing crusade when in reality is just a bunch double standard horse****.
