    If he ducked Hatton, Judah, Baldomir or Mosley after his Margarito KO and fought and beat Margo and Williams you'd be making threads about them, don't deny it.

    What about Mayweather fighting better versions of Mosley, Hatton, Oscar? Even Cotto at a better weight.
    Would Pacquiao beat them? This is the equivalent of MVC claiming Pac would get wiped out by those three.

    Did he duck Canelo? I'm sure you were claiming that before it was signed eh?

    Pacquiao fought much better version of Marquez and has epic battles with Morales and Barrera and P4P double win over Bradley, I like them both but be fair for god's sake.

    margarito would have gotten worked...and floyd didnt duck him....arum lowballed floyd(or at least underestimated his potenital drawing power) on future fights agaisnt hatton and cotto....he offered him a total of 4 mil less than what floyd wanted total for those two fights after margarito...2 mil less per fight than what floyd wanted....so floyd said screw it to the margarito fight, which arum said floyd agreed to, and bought out the contract....the nonsense that floyd ducked margarito started by arum after floyd didnt return for bobs help and started using oscars company

    True, I wish Mayweather didnt duck all the relevant names of his era.

    I wish hed fought Hatton, Mosely, De La Hoya, Pacqiauo, Cotto, Canelo and Marquez

    Thanks alot Floyd.

    Show me a fighter who has fought exclusively prime fighters (which is really only 5 years or so) who are not up-and-coming (as in already established a franchise on their skills and more importantly notoriety for business sense)

    Floyd always reached UP until he was on top. Once you are the man- you can only reach down to pull opponents to your level.

    This question is as relevent as the one's that suggest he should have been fighting 3-4x a year for the last 10 years. Its just unrealistic. In a world where there are always 10 guys clambering to get in the ring with the king (let alone the THOUSANDS of people who would love the payday knowing they are out of their league) 80% of those fighters don't get the shot.

    Did some of you not watch the Pacquiao fight? :huh

    Manny had no gameplan or answer from the opening bell. He looked clueless in there and this was before his 'injury'. 'Prime' Pacquiao still loses 118-110. He didn't know what to do and it had nothing to do with the 'injury'.

    Paul Williams, Margarito, and Sergio Martinez would have all been interesting fights.

    The only career enhancing fight out of those three would have been MW king Martinez

    Margoresto was such a sloth he even made Pac look like he knew how to box.

    I remember seeing an interview where Marquez said hed spoken to Margarito and told him how he could try and defeat Pacqiauo.

    So what does Margarito do?

    Same **** hes done every fight, walk forward into punches, hoping the other guy gets worn out.

    Well come on now, it's not like a pep talk from JMM can turn Margarito into a fighter as technically sound as Marquez is.

    The point im trying to make is Margarito was too ignorant to even reflect on even a slight bit of insight.
