    That is undeniable. Then he fought JMM @ 147 as a tune up for Manny.
    That was just another ridiculous fight to pay bills and keep the meaningless zero.

    Hopkins had one fight in 1988. He also was Middleweight Champ for the mid 90's to 2005. Since Floyd is the greatest and can just outbox everyone why did many see him losing to Castillo in the first fight ? Why not just shut up the critics and fight Cotto, Margarito, Tszu if it would have been so easy ?
    You can't tell me fighting guys like Brussels, Corrley, Sosa etc where bigger money fights than Cotto or Tszu. Why would the greatest need to fight JMM at 147 when he never even fought at 140 ? Doesn't the greatest challenge himself. Why not fight Martinez at 154 where he could easily outbox him ?

    Again, Floyd will not fight except if it is against an older or lesser conditioned fighter or one who has 2 or less fights at the weight he wants to fight.
    Not one big win vs a Prime or near prime HOF fighter. Technically he is where he began being hyped by HBO and still has yet to prove what he claims that he is the best ever.

    ODLH - old
    Mosley - old out of ring 16 months
    Baldomir - old
    Judah - condtioning
    JMM - 135lb max fighter
    Hatton - 140 max fighter

    He was broke and is probably broke again or he would have paid his tax bill to the irs. Don't forget he owes Uncle Sam again for 2010.

    Because he fit into the handpicked criteria. Mosley 39 years old and out of the ring for 16 months.

    Mosley is Floyd's toughest test of his career & Manny's easiest one since stepping up above 130. That says it all.

    Look I have no problem with Mayweather as long as he fights Manny. If he wins great more props to him. Just give us a fight where you can show your skills against the best of the best if you say you are.

    I never said that. People said he lost in the first fight so he gave Castillo a rematch and won. What is the problem with that? Ask Floyd himself if you are so interested. You act like I'm his manager or something. You are downgrading his career when you based off of 3 fights. Since people love mentioning Manny's achievements, lets talk about Floyd's. He has beaten 15 world champs. More than most in this era. 2 time fighter of the year. Undefeated in 5 weight classes. Won WBC in every weight class, 6 time champ, 3 time lineal, and has beaten multiple hall of famers. Has he faced everyone presented to him? No, but he is without question an atg. All you can do is respect that.

    At the end of the day there is a fighter who has done more and talks less and also wants to fight him and who is rated unanimously ahead of him.
    Until they fight and Floyd takes back what Manny took from him Pacquiao is the winner in many different ways. It is as clear as day. This is why the world has gravitated towards Pac.
