    Mayweather's legacy at 147 is slightly above average, thanks to his win over #1 Shane Mosley.

    He was Champ in 2006-2008 and could have fought Cotto or Williams. Margarito is a cheater.

    I already said I was a previous PBF fan and yes, I'm bummed he let me down as a fan...

    As far as 10lbs overnight being of no consequence, I take it you've never boxed or trained...Divisions are separated for a reason, it makes all the difference in most cases...See fat JMM...

    Your right, if hatton was 10 lbs. lighter he would have beat pbf easily.......I stand corrected. What do you know about boxing & training?? you're a keyboard warrior trying to discredit a true champ from beating numerous elite fighters.

    Floyd Consecutively beat 3 top 5 p4p fighters. Who has done that recently?

    The list of ducked fighters has been the same for years with more added as time goes by...There are always more worthy opponents than who he actually fights and that's well known before he 'dominates' the lesser opponents...

    Judging by the war cries over catch weights at ESB, I'm not sure you know much either. At least exumspate is making somewhat fair arguments not sweeping idiotic gems like 10lbs overnight loss/gain is no problemo... lol cmon dude. That's stupid.

    Mosley was not the lineal champ. He lost to Cotto. There was no lineal champ at 147 even today.

    And does it really make sense to believe that he was gonna fight Margaritto over Oscar? If Oscar was to announce a comeback fight today, everybody from 140 to 160 would want to fight him for the money. As soon as Margarito beat Cotto for his title did he call out other welterweights? Nope, he called out Oscar. So how can anyone blame Floyd for not fighting everybody who cries they wanna fight him?

    Good post. Instead of countering my criticism of what you actually wrote, you attack me on a completely unrelated topic.
