    well he cherry picked the best fights. Margarito was a nobody and wasnt worth fighting. would u fight Oscar or Margarito??? Thats what I thought.

    Hatton who was in the P4P top 5 or a punching bag in Margarito??

    Also ended up fighting Cotto and Mosley. Mosley after he destroyed Margarito and Cotto 4 years of the Bricks

    what's your point? IS your point that it's unfortunate that Top Rank and GBP got in the way of good fights being made?

    Floyd could have made any fight happen, he's the money man.


    Mayweather just doesn't have the prime great opponents to be considered a Top 20 ATG.

    Floyd took the path of least resistance. He doesn't care about legacy only money.

    That's why I can never understand why people bother trying to defend his cherry picking.

    Canelo will be easy money for Floyd IMO. Matthysse - Garcia winner and lets say Alexander are much tougher opponents for Floyd than Canelo. :yep

    That's not true. You can't look back and see a fight not happen and assume it was Floyd's fault. Do you blame Leonard for the Pryor fight not happening?

    Do you blame SRR for not fighting Charley Burley? Do you blame Lewis for not fighting Bowe?
