    Just 2 for me.
    Cotto this fight has to happen
    Margo just so he could shut up all those dumbass people who don't know **** about boxing. PBF would give Margo a boxing lesson of a lifetime.

    If he could beat Wladimir Klitschko he'd be the GOAT.

    The guy claims he is the greatest fighter of all time, and it doesn't matter if he knocks out Pavlik inside a round, I can't agree with that. The guy needs to go out there and practice his craft by clearing out the Welterweight division. If not, he should retire and stop trying to tell us educated boxing fans that he has achieved more than the likes of Robinson, Pep, Ali, or Leonard. Leonard beat 4 HOF's, Mayweather has beat one past his prime, and even Leonard is sometimes left out of top 10 p4p all time lists.

    Mayweather fights and beats Cotto, Mosley, Williams, and Margarito then I'll consider him top 10 p4p. That won't happen though, Mayweather has no intention in fighting half of those.

    I would like Mayweather to face any given fighter out there without the sole purpose of silencing whichever critics and not solely based on business criteria. The problem that comes out so clearly with this particular fighter, and even more so in his last three fights, is that he feels he is the exception to the rule in this business of boxing - he should not be fighting to prove anything ( I surely am not looking for the opposite of what has happened in his last 3 fights) so he should stay in the game, face whoever the WBC puts in front of him and live to fight another day... The only thing that Mayweather is proving as he retires from Boxing at the age of 30 ( and doesn't let boxing retire him) is that he is not secure enough about himself and the future. Otherwise, he would fight mandatories like Cotto did with Urkal and would look forward to meet other top rated welters - we all know their names so what's the point of mentioning FIVE, he said he would not face ONE of them...

    I dont think he was to either, there are plenty of guys at 140-147 that he can fight
    cotto, spinks, mosley, williams, margo... those fights could keep him busy for years without having to go up to 160. I think that if he wanted to though, it is still pheasable to fight at 160 especially against someone with some weaknesses like Pavlic.
