    History Say's there have been plenty of Great Fighters that used Rough House Tactics...Tyson and Fenech were famous for it....History say's the Fighters that fought them adapt there fight plan to counter act these Tactics which they usually do.....Thank God they did not go down Maweathers Path and punch an opponent while they are trying to touch Gloves.....You Love Floyd I can live with that...But he lost me after that disgraceful Tactic.!!!

    Mosley did the same thing and got beaten down... What's your point, outside of cheating Cotto what has Margarito ever done as a fighter he's not an atg or a hofer or even a great Welter...Margarito is just a name you stand clinch onto even though as a fighter he's never done anything remotely worth the hype your giving him.

    Watch the videos on youtube where Antonio walks up to Floyd & politely asks him "Why wont you fight me "?? ROFLMAO Then try & tell me Floyd wasnt terrified He was hysterical blabbering like Daffy Duck. Then came the final embarrassment he lost control of his bowels LOL

    I've seen the video again Mosley did the same thing and got beaten down for his trouble now tell me what did Margarito do outside of likely cheating Cotto to warrant hype.. and who on Floyd record is Tony a greater fighter than?

    well I see it as Ortiz' way of quitting, he ALWAYS finds a way to lose.
    and as far as rough house tactics.... Mayweather didn't play around with it.... and it was a legal punch.
    or did you think Ortiz was going to win?

    If Floyd beat Casamayor at 130, Dorin at 135, Hatton and Tszyu at 140, and Bradley, Thurman and Porter at 147, where would you rank him all time?

    You've said that perfectly mate.



    I will say though, 2 of the fighters you mentioned (SRL, Ali, Robinson.), have pretty clear evidence of ducking top challengers.

    SRR with Burley. (IMO he probably could've and should've stepped up and taken on a few more of the Murderers Row too.)
    SRL with Hagler.
    Some people even say Ali ducked the Foreman rematch.

    I'm not trying to refute what you're saying, I'm just pointing out that, depending on your perspective, even one of the greatest maybe even the greatest of all time, SRR, can be talked down or up a few spots on the P4P list.


    If you saw the Maidana and Castillo matches as legitimate wins, saw MayPac as a good win in the fight of the decade, and see the alleged ducks (Margarito, Williams, GGG etc) as understandable given the timing, you could put Mayweather as high as top 3.

    It wouldn't be completely ridiculous to think any of those things either.
