    Yeah Your Absolutely Right Also...Floyd fought a VERY LOW LEVEL of Competition: Hatton, Oscar, JMM!!! Oh Wait...Didn't Pacquiao just fight these same Fighters????

    Floyd Also fought those Other Low Level Fighters...Victoriano Sosa and Zab Judah...Oh Wait, didn't Cotto fight these fighters too???

    He has too much of a big mouth,well so has James Toney but James Toney backs it up most of the time.Mayweathers big problem is his excuse where money is concerned.His talent is absolutely undeniable but he`s at a stage he thinks that boxers should call him out,Hatton slagged him off after the Luis Castillo win(seen more action in 4 rds and that),maybe Pacquiao should do the same.

    Shane Mosely called him out, but for some reason he still doesn't want to fight. hmm, maybe because mosely isn't an easy to hit super-lightweight like hatton was.

    Yeah,sounds about right,Hatton was the easier option.Mayweather didn`t want no part of Margarito either did he.

    YAwn. Mayweather called out MOsley twice. ONce when he was at 140. And again in 2006. First time Mosley said for only 10 million, and the 2nd time Mosley claimed he wanted to go on vacation.

    Mayweather didnt fight Margarito because Arum would have Floyd in contract for his next couple fights, and Arum said he couldnt deal with De La Hoya.

    So Mayweather is gonna lose a 20 million dollar pay day to fight MArgarito who was perhaps the most overrated fighter of the decade.

    But your an utter joke and a moron so you'd probably say yeah.

    The thing is, that's kind of a meaningless statement. Everyone who is undefeated is undefeated because they haven't fought someone good enough to beat them. Because their level of competition was beneath them.

    Floyd hasn't fought the very best competition at all weighclasses, but that's not why he's undefeated. He's undefeated because he's been better than everyone he fought. Speculating that he wouldn't be undefeated if he'd stepped up is...well...speculation. And completely meaningless.

    You can dismiss it all you want, but how many fighters have won titles in 5 weightclasses, and remained undefeated? Floyd is in pretty rare company, even having not fought the best in recent years.

    I totally agree with you. Chavez Jr has 41 wins and 0 loses. Hence, Chavez Jr > Floyd Jr.

    There's no spin here. Floyd has a weak resume at Welterweight. You say that as if it's news. At the same time you ASSUME a fighter who has remained undefeated through five weightclasses and 40 fights loses to Cotto, or Mosely, or Margarito? I don't assume he beats all of them, but to categorically state that he loses to one or two is utterly ridiculous. None of these guys are a Hearns or a Leonard. You're talking about 3 very good, but not great (Mosely is only very good now, he was absolutely ****ing amazing about 10 years ago) fighters up against a guy generally percieved to be one of the best boxers alive today. Just ASSUMING he loses because you want him to is completely bogus.

    The best you can say is "his resume is weak at welter". You can't hand him losses he never recieved and count them against him. That's bull****.

    And did you honestly expect the guy to come back after nearly two years off and jump into the ring with a top tier welterweight? Tune ups are taken for a reason. In this case he killed two birds with one stone by getting a tune up AND creating more drama for the inevitable Pac/Mayweather superfight.

    Also, if you don't rate Hatton AT ALL at Welterweight that's pretty shameful. He won a belt off of Collazo (yes, in a close fight) a guy who gave Berto, another top 10 welter, fits in thier fight. He was at the least a top 10 welter. And please don't forget that Judah was putting the hurt on Cotto until the low blow incident. I'm not saying it was intentional, but the momentum surely turned.

    Hey, a statement that doesn't follow AT ALL, from what I said. Is this statement true or not:

    "Chavez Jr is undefeated because he has been better than everyone that he has fought?"

    The **** he wasn't. Ali was an idol to millions the world over, I had ****ing records of Ali singing and I was a little white kid. I doubt you're over 21, don't ****ing tell me what was happening when Ali was champ. I was there and I idolized the man, along with most of the rest of the country. ****ing idiot. When Ali lost to Spinks Time magazine gave him the cover, with the headline 'The King is Dead'. You don't know wtf you're talking about.

    PBF isn't fit to shine Ali's shoes.
