    It's a bit hypocritical for a Mayweather fan to be disparaging other fighters for not wanting tough fights.

    Perhaps, but to make fun of Calzaghe for not taking tough fights when Floyd avoided so many himself is hypocritical.

    I hear what you're saying
    its really only Williams and pacquiao I think Floyd needed

    I certainly don't buy into the margarito fight

    Shane Mosley's win over ODLH trumps anything on Mayweather's record.

    He doesn't even have the best resume of the last 20 years.

    I agree, mayweather is no where near the best fighter ever. he isn't even the best fighter of his era!

    in their primes, mosley, margarito, and cotto can hurt him and probably even get a win over him. It's still high risk fights.

    I have seen some convincing circumstantial evidence of PED use by Pac but I wanted to know if anyone like me believes that PED use is widespread at the top level and that Mayweather is almost certainly using them. Can you make the case?

    How is he able to maintain quick reflexes in to his mid 30s?
    Always has better stamina than his opponents and he gets stronger as the fight goes on?
    Strong in the clinches with bigger opponents.
    Seems to know alot about PEDS and able to identify Pac as a USER.

    - claims / rumors that he tested positive three times
    - he is a close friend of Don Hale who runs TRT clinics yet claims he does not know what TRT means

    Most of em' are one something.

    Whether or not Floyd is on something does not undermine the fact that he's the very best and a genetic FREAK.
    Did you not see his post-jail physique? He was more yoked up than ever before, and I doubt someone was shooting a needle up his arse in jail.

    Most of the top tier boxer are on something. Being this good at the age of 37 sure is suspicious but I really can't see anyone at the very top being 100% clean.

    They are in every other sport that involves money.

    Boxing that involves serious money is not immune to it, specially given the fact that the testing routines in professional boxing is inferior to other olympic sports.

    margo, williams, martinez.

    they are interchangeable.

    not saying they will perform the same.

    im saying a fight with one of them will give a clear idea how floyd is going to do with the rest.

    favor martinez, williams (size, southpaw) over floyd.

    50/50 vs. margo. floyd will have to move 12 rounds bec margo doesnt load on his punches thats why he can throw so many. there is hardly nothing to roll. each punch will be treated individually.

    prime cotto/closer to prime mosley/dela hoya are also intercheangeable.
