    no. "money" takes the safe and easy path to victory especially against elite p4p competition. i really hope he doesn't do the same with hatton and proves me wrong.

    The only other p4p fighter he fought he KD 5 times.

    Since his move to 147 he has not traded. Those guys also outweight him by 15lbs on fight night. It would be foolish for him to trade with them.

    prob is that he hasn't faced elite p4p competition in his recent "money" history. i don't know if de la hoya is still considered elite p4p but he didn't exactly stand toe to toe with him either. the last elite fighter he has faced was castillo but that was already 5 years ago.

    Ok, so now you're saying he's too conservative during the "Money" era, but that only inlcudes fights against elite fighters, which you say he hasn't fought in five years. Is this what you're saying?

    yep. that's basically it. but he was also "conservative" against baldo and to some extent, judah and they aren't exactly elite competition either.

    Watch the fight again against Judah, Mayweather was the one pressing the action.

    yep. that's why i said "to some extent". i hope he proves me wrong w/ hatton who is definitely elite p4p competition.
