    But why a bum doping fool like Berto? Wasn't Floyd cleaning up the sport and yet he supports a cheat like Berto?

    Canelo and Pacquiao are better wins than Khan.

    The one real doubt I have over Mayweather is he ducked Mosley in his prime,who I genuinely believe would have won,as we nearly saw in the second round when the fight eventually happened. Mosley was good still but past his prime.

    lol floyd ducked khan for a reason. khan won the poll on mayweather's main website so khan should have got the payday instead of his son(maidana).

    Khan wouldn't even be one of Floyd's top 10 opponents.

    Yet when it came down to it, you bet on Wlad to retain his title.

    They weren't close in weight when Mosley was in his prime. Mosley's prime was 1998-2002. They were one division apart for a few short months (Mayweather won the 130 lb. title in September 1998, Mosley left 135 for good in April 1999 to chase a fight at 147 with De La Hoya).

    Mayweather vocally expressed some interest in facing Mosley during this time, but there were no serious negotiations on either side.

    Then when the fight was brought up in the summer of 2006, after Mosley defeated Vargas the 2nd time, Mosley laughably brought up a toothache, when most likely it was just a case where they were setting up a Mayweather-De La Hoya fight, and Mosley was with Golden Boy.

    Mayweather annoyed me with a lot of his choices from 2007-on, when he became the box office star who could get the fights he wanted, but I never really blamed him for the Mosley fight not taking place years earlier.

    It was just bad timing and circumstances.

    :lol::rofl:lol:
    You wouldn't bet a dime on Khan if this fight ever happened. Funny when PBF was active you never mentioned your prediction or made a thread like this. It's easy to be a solider when there ain't no war.:deal

    If Khan would've just fought and beat Kell like he says he can he would've scored the Mayweather fight, but he didn't. That aside Mayweather is 10X the boxer Wlad is so I don't see how you can compare Mayweather and Wlad.

    And that is when the fight should have Been made. Mosley would have done the job where de la Hoya failed.
