    You cannot be happy as a Mayweather fan with him being ridiculously inactive & having not cemented his place already as the best of the era by beating Pacquiao, surely.

    As for Morales being on the undercard & making less money, thats the way it goes & the price you have to pay when your trying to rebuild your career, Floyd is still as good as ever due to having taken less damage than Morales, Morales is not what he once was, it happens to ALL fighters.

    Morales is financially sound by all accounts but he came back for love of fighting & to make Mexican history... Floyd has a one in a million chance to go down as the best of an entire era by winning 1 fight & he`s had this chance for 2 years, yet he still has not taken it... thats the difference between Morales & Mayweather.

    The good Olympians move fast during their careers. I won't be watching Morales tonight since he isn't fighting anyone. His day has come and gone.

    Morales took a year off after the Pacquiao fight and 3 years after the Diaz. Despite this, you worship the man. So it's obvious that long layoffs aren't really the problem for you as a fan.

    Who you fight is what matters look at ray leonards record.
    Morales has a great record though.

    Please stop acting stupid, I can`t really be arsed explaining what you should already know as a boxing fan but I will, one time... Morales was no longer at the top of his game & was worn out both physically & mentally, Mayweather just has no respect for the fans that worship him & come`s & go`s as he please`s... its that simple.

    Also... when both guys were on the p4p lists together, Morales fought like every 4 or 5 months, Mayweather, well, not so much.

    Viatscheslav Omailienko was i guess about 100-0 when he was 26, so what, competition counts

    Look at Alvarez guy is so young and 37-0

    So Mayweather should be more like Morales so he can washed up at 29 like Morales? That makes no sense. Morales was a great fighter. But to denigrate a guy like Mayweather to make Morales look better seems stupid. Mayweather is the same age as Morales. Mayweather makes more money, takes less punishment, has a higher standing in the sport, and will go down as the greater fighter. So why should he have been like Morales? I can see people saying he should've been like Ali or Robinson or Leonard, bu not Morales. The only thing Morales did better than Mayweather throughout his career was take punishment.

    Im not saying he should take punishment like Morales did, Floyd has his own style & that suits him, he is not capable of doing what Morales did in the ring & vice versa.... Im talking his mindset, he has been in a position to go down with the guys you just mentioned by being a bit more active (please dont tell me twice a year is not very possible) & fighting 1 man that he will likely be favourite to beat (Pacquiao) but has not done **** to make it happen, he`s one of the reason`s that this is a dying sport, a fkn joke of a sport... what sort of message is he sending to the up & coming generation by not fighting Pacquiao ?... both he & Pac are a fkn disgrace, this sport made hem rich & both are ****ing it in the ass.

    Morales is a fighter that deserves respect, not these clowns.
