    Weak.

    Arum hates De La Hoya just like Floyd hates Arum.

    Now count how many Golden Boy fighters Pac beat in this picture.

    Anybody who actually keeps up with the facts knows Bob Arum nixed the fight deal that would have had Mayweather Jr. with Top Rank for fights with: Margarito, Cotto, Hatton, and DLH.

    Bob Arum said no because of business reasons. This is according to Bob Arum himself in an interview with ESPN.

    Neither is the "correct" answer.

    Who cares if he didnt open his mouth. He was one of the best welterweights and Floyd dint fight him, period. He could have went after him and that fight would have probably gotten made.

    Excuses, excuses.

    Answer the question, then compare that number to how many Top Rank fighters Floyd has fought since leaving Bob Arum. :hey
