    If I was a betting man, I would say FM made that comment purely out of arrogance! We're not fighting to see who the best is" because everybody already knows I'm the best. Something to that effect!

    That too.. But it's like when Pac fought Algeri.. If Algeri somehow won, he still wouldn't have nem better than Manny.. He would just be a guy who beat him just like all his other losses.. Margarito being the best was an impossible task that he couldn't reach because he isn't skilled enough...

    Look how he finished him, though. Stoppage.

    Floyd would not have the same luck. Besides, pressure fighters gave him fits.

    Mosley didn't want it as he has a tooth problem, after the 2nd Vargas fight. There was never an offer to fight Cotto as Floyd fought Oscar in may, Cotto fought Judah in june...

    move foward Cotto is now fighting Mosley while Floyd fought Hatton... Fast foward to Jan 08, Cotto had already signed to fight Gomez in what would be a tuneup to a proposed Margarito showdown in july...Mayweather was negotiating a contract for a rematch with Oscar, he decides to retire...

    What does that tell you? He never ducked a prime cotto because a prime Cotto was being steered into the direction of a Margarito fight.

    As for Pacquaio.... All you need to do is ask roach why they declined the fight when 50/50 was being offered at the table, and why arum opened his mouth saying Pac was afraid of needles but he had tattoos...

    Cmon tinman, step your game up.

    Hatton is a ATG at 147?

    Canelo is a ATG at 153?

    ODLH was in his prime?

    Manny was in his prime?

    BS, watch the fight and count the punches landed and consider who was the aggressor.

    Floyd just made being the best look so easy. That's what people are mad about. He moved up 5 divisions and couldn't be beaten by the best guys in those divisions. He didn't fight everyone. But, he did fight just about everyone that mattered and when they were considered top fighters in their divisions.

    I find it ironic how certain fighters get all the hype in the world...but, won't get anywhere near his achievements in boxing or the business of boxing.

    Yes, and there's about 20 belts per division. When you have clowns like Broner as a 4 weight world champion, it says it all. :lol:
