    If we're talking between 135 and 147 - it's technically true. Floyd won't fight anyone who can beat him, because no one can.

    Oh really! For soembody being protected taking on guys like Marg and Clottey who nobody wanted to fight, he's sure protected. Oh yeah I forgot about that guy Sugar Shane that Cotto fought, so I guess he's one up on Mayweather since Mosley beat the best guy Floyd fought twice.

    When asked about PBF at 140, team Cotto and Arum said they weren't ready at 147 they still weren't ready until he retired & Arum froze PW out to keep him away from Cotto.

    Too true. Arum is the guy who starts feeding his stars outrageous bums and diaper safe fights the minute things get hairy. Agreed.

    Oh come on man, boxing is about hitting and not being hit, it's a sweet science, there's nothing wrong with fighting safety first, etc. and every other ****ing elitist cliche.

    Floyd is simply taking 'fighting safety first' to the extreme by never taking a risk :yep

    Doesn't mean he shouldn't fight them just because he should be able to beat them.

    They were ready well before he retired. Mosley was ready too.

    If an upcoming or comebacking fighter isn't quite ready to fight the top fighter in the game (well, back then, not now) does that mean he can't be ready later? IF Calzaghe had called out Pavlik in 03 and it was refused (this is fictional) does that mean Pav can never challenge him?
