    -Whitaker would clown JMM. As much as I love JMM, Whitaker is a class above him, maybe two.
    -Trinidad would KO Ortiz with the first lefthook landed, possibly in round 1. Remember the Tito-Vargas fight. That minus the skills and heart for Ortiz.
    -Mosley would outslugg Castillo at LW. Castillo the clear uderdog, can't see what he could do to a LW Mosley.
    -Chavez was past it at 147, at 140 Chavez destroys Cotto who's lack of defense would not help him survive past the 6th imo.
    -Molina-Corrales would be an interesting fight actually. Boxing skills vs brute power.

    Thats great you try to break down these fantasy fights but lets be honest here.

    ATG go by resume and skill. Mayweather's skill is waaaayyyy passed what oscar has ever shown in the ring. The guy has broke every compubox record there is. has most likely lost the fewest rounds ever by anybody with 44 fights. Just pure Greatness. Also I think Mayweather will go down as a top 5 defesive fighter ever!! Great reflexes and philly shell defense has made him prolong his career for so long.

    Most people can tell you Oscar's resume is better but if u take in the acutal boxing ability and resume put together then Mayweather will rank higher.

    Mayweather had great challenges but he refused to take them and made excuses, which his fanboys repeat over and over in a bid to excuse his constant ducking.

    Which great challenge, besides Pacquiao, can he even be accused of avoiding?

    (say Margarito and I'm requesting that your account be suspended)

    Umm Floyd wanted Oscar. Floyd said hed sign a 3 fight deal with Arum if he signed the Oscar fight for 20 mil. Arum said it was impossible. Floyd fought Oscar and earned 20 mil


    Margarito was a mexican hype job anyway. He's Floyds grandson. Since Floyd sonned Mosley who is margaritos dad

    Everyone else avoided Paul Williams, including Cotto and Pacquiao. Even Margarito tried to bypass him but his hand was forced.

    Floyd had accepted Margarito as an opponent, but wanted 10 mil each for Cotto and Hatton, as well as 20 mil for Oscar. Arum has even admitted this.

    I hate repeating other people's arguments, though. Why don't you just do some research for a change?
