    First it was Pacquiao with titles at 122, 126, 130 and 140.

    Now Mayweather repeats the formula at 130, 135, 147 and 154.

    He could've been a 5 division lineal champ had either Tszyu or Hatton wanted to fight him.

    He should have fought hatton at 140 when they fought and refused to do so. So don't go there with that one.

    I'm guessing you didn't follow boxing back then. It's well known that Hatton turned down a fight with Mayweather after Mayweather beat Gatti. Why in the world you would think that Mayweather would refuse that fight is beyond me.

    Hatton and Cotto did. After seeing that ass whipping they weren't ready.

    He means in 2007 when Hatton moved up to 147 lbs to fight Floyd, that fight could have been made at 140 lbs and thus Floyd would be a 5 time lineal champ.

    He would've been a 5 division lineal champ had wanted to fight him when they were both at 140. I think that makes a whole lot more sense than blaming Floyd for not coming down to 140 after establishing himself at 147, and 1 fight after fighting at 154.

    True he would have been if Hatton was willing to fight Floyd back then. But he still could have been if he went down in weight in 2007 for the Hatton fight.

    Floyd likely weighed less than Hatton on fight night so I think he could have made 140 lbs.

    True, but at the same time he'd offered him it at 140 n haton turned him down. probably just thought **** hatton were doing it at 147 or nothing seen as he turned me down before..

    SRL would have KO'd Floyd. Equal if not superior speed and much better punching power. With more speed, Canelo would have landed the uppercut on floyd when he dips low.
