If Floyd were to fight and beat the following fighters, this is what his detractors would probably say: Miguel Cotto: "Cotto was shot. Manny ruined Cotto and now Floyd is just fighting Manny's leftovers". Paul Williams: "Paul had problems making 147". Paul isn't a natural 147/154lb. fighter...he started his career @ 160...didn't ya know???" Sergio Martinez: "Sergio is just another old, washed up fighter. Floyd didn't fight him in his prime so we'll never really know how good Sergio could've done" Manny Pacquiao: "Manny isn't a natural welter." He started his career @ 106lbs. for god's sake!!!!!" Manny couldn't concentrate on the fight because of his political career." Margarito: "Tony was damaged psychologically from the plaster incident and can no longer concentrate on boxing."
Look excuses can be made for any fighter's opponents anywhere in the world. No one is going to deny Mayweather's greatness if he beats Pacquiao.
Williams and Martinez are the truth. Martinez IF the fight happens in the next 12 months! Pac has some chance, although his size will be an extra problem. The rest - Floyd will beat quite easily. Margarito without his 'stuff' does not belong in any sentence with the rest.
The point is, is that he DOESN'T fight anyone remotely dangerous until it suits him and his weight conditions ? and not his opponent ? Why didn't he fight margarito cotto etc etc BEFORE they lost ?
