    I would like that fight. I think Berto would beat Ortiz in a rematch anyways.

    No, he'll wait for Ortiz. emamnuel's main preference is someone who Floyd already beat up and came off a below average performance.

    He runs around saying Floyd Mayweather is my idol for a reason. Kid has no class and style.

    Coming off a victory doesn't make you a worthy opponent.

    Judah, Baldo, and Ortiz are B-class . Marquez fight was a joke. Shane Mosley was the only legit welter and worthy opponent on that list. How many actual top welters did Floyd fight after spending 5+ years in the division?

    So are Margarito, Cotto and Clottey. Clottey lost to Baldomir infact. A fight where he was being worn down and had to resort to head butts to get out of the heat.


    Pacs fighting him. 2 years later. Pretty much same weight.


    Judah and Baldomir held titles. Hatton and JMM were in the P4P top 10. Not too mention Oscar at 154.



    Oscar, Judah, Baldomir, Hatton, Mosley all had won championships at the welterweight division. Thus top welters. 3 of the 5 had legit claims to being THE MAN.

    Joshua Clottey was a top welter when Pac fought him. You know, a real welter. Not a blown up junior welter. Mosley was a pointless fight but there's no one else out there for Pac anyway.

    How do you consider someone an ambassador when he has multiple brushes with the law? disrespects people?... If ever he should be considered the "villain" of the sport. If every boxer was like him, boxing gets owned by chess..:blood

    How do you go around saying you're the most exciting fighter when you end up giving us the two whackiest big fights in two consecutive years?

    i just noticed that, goodlook on the info.. floyd just dominated those guys. this time around though, he's fighting someone at their prime and weight.. ortiz is the most vicious southpaw out of the list

    Good for Floyd, dude's fights are real, not versus stablemates :think

    Pac won't fight Floyd unless he loses :D

    And he got **** for it too



    Brian Kenny "Floyd why are you fighting Zab Judah instead of fighting Baldomir or Hatton!"


    Manny Steward before the Baldomir fight "Floyd has never fought someone like Baldomir before

    After the Baldomir fight


    "Why did Mayweather fight this bum and not fight Margarito who just lost to Daniel Santos!"

    :lol:

    he acknowledged that and you know the circumstances around that decision.
    Plus if that's the best you can come up with is a fight more than 5 years ago then Floyd is doing something right :hi:
