    Naw, I am realistic. He might lose when he goes up in weight after he cleans the division out. I never implied he was god like some Mayweather fans. :D

    I'm not stubborn and I have nothing personal against Mayweather, I just don't rate him that highly as a fighter.

    Zab Judah had lost three times, and was coming off a defeat against a Journeyman, Carlos Baldomir. How anybody made him the favourite is beyond me, but now in hindsight we can safely say Zab Judah is a B level fighter, and was exposed as one even then. That isn't to say he's not a good fighter, and I'm not disrespecting him, but he was found out to be a step below A level with his inability to fight past 5 rounds effectively.

    I can blame Floyd Mayweather Jr for then not building on his win against Baldomir by clearing out the division. Fighters I appreciate the most look for the best fighters against the toughes topponents. Alexis Arguello is the best example, with him moving up to Junior Welterweight to fight Aaron Pryor, who was clearly the best in the division at the time. Alexis could have easily fought the weaker belt holders and became a 4 weight world champion, but he was quoted as saying, "I wouldn't have considered myself the real champ had I not beat Aaron Pryor", or something along those lines.

    Marco Antonio Barrera is another favourite fighter of mine, one that fought every significant fighter of his generation, a list of fighters that includes; Naseem Hamed, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez, and the list goes on. He never came out with ridiclious comments like, "I don't need to prove to the Boxing world who is the best by fighting". He much rather just take out the weakest champions in his division, and claim he was the best. I'm sorry, that isn't a man I'd admire or appreciate to much.

    He was a great fighter at 130 and 135, but once he stepped up to 147, he should have been dropped as P4P #1.

    Mayweather wouldn't have been able to run against Kostya Tsyu. Tsyu was the master of cutting off the ring. This is why Mayweather avoided him. If it looks like there is no risk, Mayweather gladly fights then. Notice why Mayweather is ignoring Margarito, too much risk. Mayweather could never do to Cotto what Margarito did.

    Their is a difference *******, Margarito already fought Williams already. Mayweather never fought Margarito. That is what I mean by *****, never had the balls to step in the ring with him not once. :hi:
