    All of the fights you mentioned earlier could have happened if Cotto, Mosely, Margarito, or even Pacquio wanted them to. They didn't. So putting Williams on the list when he has said that he would make WW for the right fight is just as valid as anyone else on your list. I see Williams being much more agreeable during contract negotiations than GBP or Arum.

    How does FMJ deserve critisizm for cherry picking? He has been in talks with ALL of the fighters on your list. They all backed out. It took the light weight to step up, call FMJ out, AND get the papers signed. Mosely, like all the rest, call FMJ out in the press and then price themselves out behind closed doors.

    Why don't you review youtube and see who FMJ was calling out after the Gatti fight... Mosely and DLH. Why don't you see Mosely's response... My tooth hurts and I am going on vacation. Huh? His Vargas fight was July and he would not commit to fighting FMJ that year? :scaredas:

    Get off that cherry picking fantasy bandwagon. It is so easy to prove it wrong. The word is out on Margarito and Cotto ducking too.

    You know all the ranting is just fight hype. It is all chill! :lol:

    @ Tone - I agree with you in that I think Cotto is the most competitive fight for Mayweather, but could you, and anyone else, explain to me who the hell Mayweather has cherry picked or ducked? Who?!? I listed every fighters response to FMJ's challenges. Now, that FMJ is the man with the money, they all want to play the "he is ducking me" card.:blabla:blabla:blabla

    JMM - Cherry picked? No, he called out FMJ. This was his biggest purse to date AND he got the weight bonus. Where were his fans before?

    Man you know arguing with you guys on Mayweather is like arguing with a chick. No facts just BS statements.

    "You never do anything nice."

    "Really? Never?"

    "So what about..."

    "Well that was it."

    "You just said never. What about..."

    "So! You aren't listening to me!"

    "You said I never do anything nice. What are we talking about?"

    Crying...

    I am with you on that. I want to see great matchups too, but we have to place the blame where it should be on the promoters not FMJ.

    Also, FMJ has fought the best. They just don't look like the best when they get in the ring with him.

    Cotto is the toughest. The styles thing makes him the best suited for PBF.
    a strong jab also a big body that will not be afraid to get hit by PBF punches. Also the body attack will be great. Cotto is very underrated in speed.
    People also forget the only people that have had success against Cotto are fighters that are bigger tahn him and outmuscle him. PBF is not bigger than Cotto.

    I agree, he is the toughest of the lot, but I didnt add because I think that fight has absolutely zero chance of being made.

    1. mosley - fast strong and efficient. it would be a close fight but pbf might edge it due to age but definately a fight i want to see

    2. pbf v khan would sell well so that could happen

    Interesting.

    So, 69% of the voters here would prefer to see Mayweather v Mosley (over Cotto or Pac).

    Q1: Mosley

    Q2: Berto

    those 69% see mosley as the toughest fight for floyd, not necessarily the fight they prefer to see.

    JMM had a HEART of WARRIOR that is why he faced PBF which is a fight against all ODDS.. PBF will NEVER fight PAUL WILLIAMS coz he doesn't have a HEART OF A WARRIOR!

    IN OTHER WORDS..HE DOES NOT HAVE THE BALLS!!!!

    Cotto doesn't have the style to beat him, i think. But Cotto can work a man down. Shoulder rolls don't do much to brutal body work. Cotto is a mechanic. I think Cotto can go to the body and see exactly how old Floyd feels... Cotto takes damage well and Mayweather has never been in there with a rabid beast like Cotto (again- im not a Cotto hugger either).

    SSM has the style... but Floyd sparred for hours against Shane, remember? Shane was all humble and like "that man's the truth!" . In other words, Floyd lit that ass up. Floyd has SSM's number and would make him his son!
