    Floyd will probably fight Pac next and retire.

    If Floyd fights Pac he would have fought

    Pac-Smaller
    JMM-Smaller
    Hatton-Smaller
    ODLH-Past Prime
    Baldomir-One hit wonder
    Judah- Lost to one hit wonder, B level fighter
    Mitchell-Past Prime B level fighter
    Gatti-Past Prime, battle worn gatti

    The STUFF P4P greats are made out of.

    Paul Williams is the only guy that fits that category.

    Maybe someone his own size, someone with a pulse, or hell, since he's made it a habit to fight smaller men someone bigger than him who isn't shot.

    I'm not looking to match PBF against someone who will beat him. But don't you guys find it pathetic that his last 5 opponents were either smaller, past their prime or both??!!

    I'd give him, and I'm sure most the fans would too, give him so much credit if he beat the top true welters as opposed to fighting the smaller man, or the shot fighter.

    yea right, but fighters deal with this in many points of their careers.

    For example a 5'6'' Cotto with 67'' reach fought a 5' 11'' Margo with a 73'' reach??

    Why Cotto did this? Because at the time Margo was the best welter in the world.

    But, Mayweather is the best fighter in the world because no matter what circumstances he encounters inside the ring he never abandons his gameplan. He probably be the best ever cause of this attribute.

    The only problem i have with weather is that he doesnt fight the best.

    Ivan Calderon called him out a few month ago for always fighting smaller men, then said if Mayweather wants to fight smaller people to fight him.

    Mayweather/Calderon, because its only a matter of time...

    Margarito is a better opponent at Welter than JMM. So why the bull**** about him? This fight should have happened.

    It was a few months ago, during a interview before the first fight with Rodel Mayol. If I can find the actual quote I'll post it.

    No dogg,

    When I say disadvantages I mean, JMM would have lost as bad if not worse to some of the other WW. JMM has no business at 147, his punches are nothing there.

    Hatton had no business at 147 either, even B level Collazo arguably beat Hatton, imagine what a True elite or top Welter would have done to Hatton.

    ODLH was past his prime and was busted up by lil Forbey.

    Judah, Baldomir, Mitchell, Gatti, Sosa, those guys were B level fighters at best.

    My point is that those fighters were very limited when PBF fought them, and their previous fights or post fights to Joy have proved it.
