How about the Ortiz, Guerrero... they all fought Mayweather. What happened to Ortiz now? he is no where to be found. Mayweather only fight champions that is not a threat to him. He knows how to hype the fights up. FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR: ''Victor Ortiz is a young & hungry champion'' Where is he now? atsch
Whats funny about those names? even though i think Mayweather vs Maidana is a good fight i think most of those names bar 1 is a better fight.
Mayweather ruined him. Ortiz was coming off an incredible win vs drugged up Berto. Nice try. Many didnt think floyd would take that fight.
3 of those men are unproven and have worst resumes than Maidana. 2 of them are from tr. 1 of the tr guys is avoiding floyd. I think we know who he is.
:deal He is already a champion @ 154... fought there 3 times already. Take a look at Mayweather's 154 fights..... - MIGUEL COTTO (CHAMPION) - Past his prime & damaged goods. - OSCAR DE LA HOYA (CHAMPION) - Past his prime. - CANELO ALVAREZ (CHAMPION) - DRAINED, Young and inexperienced. (Too Green) :deal
Miguel cotto was drained vs pac and coming a major beating Miguel was coming off 3,wins and comfortable vs floyd. Oscar win was a great win. 154 and oscar chose all the stipulations. 42-0 too green rofl nice try. ATG level win. :yep
ok so first things first. everyone is hating on Floyd for the same reason they always have. it has more to do with his defensive style in obtaining fights rather than with his style in the ring. there are many different kinds of fighters( brawlers, boxers, boxer punchers), as well as fans. some guys just want to see kos, some guys clinics, most boxing fans, i assume ,can enjoy both. i appreciate Floyd too, but instead of watching a clinic every fight, i would like to see him fight out of his comfort zone. this generally isn't his fault, the guy is just that much better than everyone else. however personally,i feel he doesn't take on the biggest challenges when he has/had the chance to do so. Floyd doesn't equal boxing, he is an amazingly gifted boxer, but hes not the only draw.
It's funny how people are saying Thurman. The guy isn't a world title holder yet and has beaten... Imagine the flack Mayweather would have got for facing one time at this point! Danny Garcia would have been decent but they don't want it at the moment. Maidana is a mismatch but short of pac and bradley who else is there really? Realistically he needed to stay at 154 to get a competitive match.
