Did Mayweather set a bad precedent

The fact that you even pretend like a fighter is suppose to get into the ring with someone who fights in a division 2 weight classes above this his own is laughable and voids your whole argument.

 

Let's use some common sense here. If getting where Mayweather is and accomplishing what he's accomplished were so easy, everyone would be doing it. I know a lot of people don't want to admit it, but maybe Mayweather got to where he's at because he's smart and very talented. The man has collected 10 world titles over 5 divisions and defeated something like 20 world champions. He's been rated as a top 10 P4P fighter since 1998. You can't do that unless you've fought some good fighters.

 

Triple G has said that he'd come down to 154, where Floyd has a belt.

Floyd hasn't bothered, post Canelo, or even intends to defend his 154 belt again.

 

Cotto, Mosley, De La Hoya, Marquez, and now Pacquiao are all ATG fighters.

 

And Ward said he'd happily take GGG on and he was ignored.

If you wanna make a case for Floyd defending his belt, why do you choose the MW?

 

Yes. He did.

 

Fighters he had a chance to face in their prime:

Hatton (right after Kosta Tsyzu at 140)
Margarito
Paul Williams
Cotto
Pacquiao

 

Money mayweather just can't win

 

They made the fight and people are still saying he ducked. Only real boxing fans know what time it is.
