Why do you continuously bring up fighters you know he couldn't ever fight in his career? Floyd could have never fougth Zoo. Zoo-Floyd 99% impossible.
i like the excuses some people have for mayweather, hey some of them could apply could work if he didn't fight some of the top guys but when there is a whole row guys he has excuses for...then it's a problem, i think here is a good example, if kelly pavlik, stopped boxing or moved up in weightclass without fighting aberaham,strum etc and just said hey i am better known then those guys so i have nothing to prove at 160. then he would do what mayweather did. what i like is how mayweather cherry picks the weakest champions in a weightclass and then claims how dominant he was at the weightclass and his fans trust him 100 percent and agree how he had nothing to prove, the reason is that he would ofcourse beat the other champions because he better known and hbo says he is the man. but ofcourse there is no need for him to actually beat the top guys.
the title he won from baldomir was the legitamte undisputed welter title (despite all the political bs).
to answer, no i don't blame him for the kostya fight not happening...did i ever mention anything about it...and i am sure he would have wanted kostya who was a guy with a big name who was getting older. and yes to last poster...yes he wanted all those fights but non of them happened but yet the great battle with gatti did happen
I am not as educated on the past and Flyods carrer as thoes who are disscussing it, but i do know that Oscar fight should have not been a split SD. Floyd controlled the fight and Oscar did nonthing significant in it. So bringing up that fight as him struggling or not dominating an ageing fighter does not make sense.
i'm a fan of floyd but this is just BS - and it's all coming from you. there was nothing legit about floyd beating baldomir and calling it a "title".
He would have lost his title, undefeated record, confidence, pride, psyche, and his body or head to the real champions in Cotto, Margarito, and Williams. Or it could just be he wanted the most $$$ and looked to DLH and Hatton for his fights.
