    Floyd Mayweather Jr Olympic gold medalist , 5 weight world champion , arguably the best Lightweight the division has ever seen , in pervious @ super feather , ducked no body conquered all !!!!

    Right up until that switch to 147 , ok Floyd has been WBC champ at 147 & 154 , but everybody knows Floyd has ducked the best 147lb fighters from the day he entered the division , Judah was not the champion people thought him to be Gatti was way over the hill Baldomir was a B level fighter .

    Mosley , Cotto , Williams , Clottey are all box office opponents in that order , im not critisising Maywether as a fighter he could and maybe should go on to be considered to one of the ATG's , but man i wish he would grow some balls and fight the top 147 lb er's if not get back to 140 and stop depriving us fans of the fights we wanna see .

    Mayweather won bronze at the olympics. Clottey and Williams aren't box office opponents, Clottey is nothing worth mentioning though it's sad to say Williams isn't a box office opponent it's still the truth and Williams is trying his best to fight his way into that category.

    With Pacquiao set to fight Cotto don't expect Mayweather to make it a triple threat match. Mosley is the one they will go for next, who is the top welter right now or Pacquiao/Cotto winner as already announced.

    His 147 resume is fine, his main target back then was the top welterweight and Margarito was just another Vivian Harris hype with zero major victories. Cotto wasn't even at the division back then nor was Mosley and they called out both.

    Mayweather's jump to 147 was quickly followed by Cotto's arrival , the fact is Mayweather has ducked Cotto and Mosley , forgetting Margarito , Mayweather - Williams & Mayweather - Clottey would be box office due mainly to the fact that its Floyd's name on the top of the fight card .

    Thats besides the point not to fight the top fighters in the division because they are not box office is a disgrace , and contradictory to what he's now preeching !!!! , and what are you talking about Mosley was not in the division , im assuming your making reference to Mosley @154 , well lets look athe clues he's now WBA WW champ , which is fair to say the drop back to 147 would never have been a problem .

    Mayweather has ducked and cherry picked his way through 147 since day 1 , which you cant really balme him for this is a guy who started out at Super Feather , all im saying is if your not gonna fight the guys then leave the division and stop fooling everyone .

    Only one with zero knowledge of what was going on back then would say Mayweather ducked Cotto and Mosley. Cotto was still green at the time and WAS called out only to claim he needs more fights, just like Hatton said the same thing. Mosley openly and public turned down a fight with Mayweather to clear the way for DLH.

    The only fool here is the one lacking in knowledge yet typing out of his ass. Cotto only announced to be "ready" when Mayweather retired. We all know Arum was NOT going to put him in there with Mayweather and risk a fight with Margarito, he already got screwed once when Margarito ditched him and decided to take the Williams fights.

    Here's the interview with Mosley after the Vargas rematch.

    Please note that Mosley was ALSO called out when he was P4P#1 and Mayweather was a lightweight, he turned it down as well just like he turned it down February of this year too so they went for the Marquez fight instead. Might want to try out some google search before making a clown out of yourself. This is coming from a HUGE Mosley fan, as a matter of fact Mosley and Tyson were the reasons I became a boxing fan.

    Mosley or Pacquiao/Cotto winner after his next fight, that's already announced. The man you're nuthugging now after the Margarito failure is next, prepare for another avatar, maybe Chavez Jr.
