I got a week ban for getting a little anti-semitic and then turned it into a month by being a drunken message sender to the mods.

Its been stated that in the next few days Mayweather will announce who he's fighting next in the city of Dubai. I assume who ever his opponent is it will defintely top Pac vs Margarito. If he steps into the 160lb class and face a top contender there, where does it leave Pac? Considering there are much better opponents out there that he could be facing besides Margarito.

Floyd Mayweather is a disgrace to the sport. I have been a Floyd supporter from the beginning and have ranked him as pound for pound the best fighter in the world since 2003 when Roy Jones struggled in his first fight with Antonio Tarver. Floyd is so versatile and so good defensively that I did not think there was a fighter in the world that should have been ranked ahead of him. Plus even though he took the Roy Jones road in 2003 and 2004 and milked HBO as he fought one mediocre opponent after another, I felt that his resume which included wins over Jose Luis Castillo, a streaking Angel Manfredy, and a respected champion in Genaro Hernandez who had never lost at the weight merited his position atop the pound for pound rankings. Even after the Christmas holidays I backed Mayweather and blamed Manny Pacquiao for not submitting to Floyds demands for drug testing. I figured if you are clean why not take the tests, its a 40 million dollar payday. So I continued to back Mayweather and blamed Arum for not making the fight, but since then Pacquiao has made it clear that he wants the fight and seems to have made the concessions necessary for the fight to move forward, but Mayweather has not made an effort to make the fight a reality and this is going to hurt his legacy. Great fighters from Sugar Ray Leonard to Ray Robinson always sought out the best available competition. They challenged themselves because they knew it would fatten their bank accounts as well as their legacies. Say what you want about Oscar De La Hoya, yah maybe he was not Sugar Ray Leonard, but after a few years of seasoning, he always challenged himself. From Felix Trinidad to a huge Bernard Hopkins to an undefeated Shane Mosley, Oscar always fought the best. He may not have won all the time, but at least he tried, and that is a lot more than Floyd Mayweather has done.

Or he's just proving how he really don't need Pac to secure his legacy. Him going to challenge bigger threats in bigger weight divisions will definitely secure his spot with or without Pac.

What do you mean legacy, to him it doesn't pay bills (even for 40 mill), that why he runs.

Your focusing to much on what he's saying and not what he's doing. If it wasn't about legacy then why move up so many weight divisions? Why not dominate a weight class for 20 yrs like B hop did. He would of still made a ton of money regardless.

I guess the same how Manny could be proud of ducking Mosley and Floyd the first time around. Both guys ducked each other, if your gonna talk about one you have to acknowledge the other for doing the same.

Its not fair to Mayweather to compare him to the Suger Rays. He doesn't have the ability that they did.

Mayweather cannot be compared to the Sugars, especially SNV.
