    He is really good at cherry picking his opponents.

    How many Boxers are that frame and fighting at Welter?? Emm, not many.

    We could say that about a Million fighters over the years, there have been many contraversal decisions over the years. Mayweather Vs Castillo wasn't exactly daylight robbery was it. How about Marquez and Pac 2, that could have easily gone to Marquez. Hopkins Vs Calzaghe could have gone to Hopkins Lewis Vs Holyfield 1 should have gone to Lewis. The list goes on.

    If Williams is so good and claims everyone is ducking him, then why'd he turn down a fight with Pavlik?

    There's not enough money in that fight, yet. Pretty dumb question really.

    Why should he be fighting middleweights? If he can make the weight he can fight there.

    Wow.

    You know nothing. Williams does not walk around at Mayweathers walk around weight.



    It's funny how people justify not fighting because he's a big ass guy.

    If he can make the weight he can fight there simple as that. :deal Just because you got guys like Shane Mosley publically saying they won't fight him doesn't mean he can't fight there.

    Williams is a bad fight for anyone but the only way Williams would fight Floyd is if Floyd loses and comes back and regains his status and Williams has beaten some big names.

    But no one wants a piece of Williams.

    When have I ever?

    I've always stated if you can make the weight you can fight there.

    I did mention that if you compare weights of Floyd to the rest of the division + his size he is quite small. And he is said to be picking on smaller guys, when he had just fought Hatton. Yet it was Hatton who the same size as him, yet weighed more. But when the bigger guys of the division call Mayweather out, they aren't calling out a smaller fighter for whatever reason. But when Mayweather fought Hatton. He fought a smaller fighter, yet the size and weight advantage the WWs had over Floyd is over looked because of the hate for Mayweather.

    Mayweather was offered a 8 mil to fight Margarito and turned it down. Obviously Mayweather is the best cherry picker in the welterweight division.

    Mayweather did turn down Arum when he was offered 8 million for the Margo fight but you must realize time and time again that Mayweather just bought himself out of a contract with Arum at the time and offered Mayweather a fight but it was going to be a multi fight deal.

    While Mayweather would get 8 against Margo he would get only 5/6 for Hatton or Mosley or Cotto. All truly bigger threats that the cheating Margo.
