Why is Mayweather avoiding the best available opposition?

http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=11923&more=1



i thought the problem was pbf was fighting older fighters passed his prime.
judah was in his prime buy judah is washed up mentally.
this guys sayed that cotto beat judah worse then pbf, because cotto stoped him.but he forgets the low blow zab hit pbf with wich was a desperation move so he would not get knocked out.
so thats the only reason pbf did not stop zab, cotto hit judah with crushing low blows that weakend judah mentally and physically.
now you have a young hatton who is prime and just koed castillo, a guy that still to this day gave pbf is hardest fight.not to mention hatton is a top 10 p4p fighter.i have him at 10 some might have him higher then that.
pbf does not have to fight ever single guy in ww division does he ? so many great fighter at that weight he can fight them all.
this guy sayed that pbf needs to fight mosley or cotto or williams.well not to long ago pbf tryed to fight mosley and cotto and neither man wanted to fight him for what ever reason.but now that pbf is the man to beat they all want to fight them, well then they can wait i think.
pbf wants hatton and hatton he should get and if he wins then he gets all the credit in the world.
hatton is not a natural ww but pbf is not either.you got guys at ww that make 147 and come in fight night at 160 were pbf has never weighed over 150 in his life.the size between hatton and pbf is the same.pbf is skilled fighter and thats the reason why he can fight at higher weight classes.
this guys is bias i think. if he fights mosley, then i get to read how pbf only wants to fight guys passed there primes.hatton and cotto or both undefeated and tryed to fight them for the last 2 yrs and mosley and after pbf win over odh now they all want to fight.well the made him wait so they can wait i think.

 

in conclusion...a moronic article

 

Floyd runs around bragging about calling out Mosley. Now Mosley comes calling...which he has been since BEFORE the Baldomir fight. Why won't Floyd face him now? WTF? He wants Hatton instead. The same Hatton that turned him down before. Shane has been calling Floyd out since before the Baldomir fight time and time again. Hatton says ONE thing about Floyd and the fight is a done deal. Floyd wants none of Mosley. Period. Fact.

 

I thought the article was a joke. It's too bad, because I've liked some of his other work.

It's terrible that people are insulting Floyd for fighting Hatton.

 

No, then he'd be ducking Cotto and even Williams. They deserve the right to tag in also.

 

I think you have your timeline mixed up. Floyd wanted to fight Shane in November, Shane said he wasn't fighting again that year. After he couldn't secure a fight with Shane, Floyd settled on Baldomir.

 

Good point. Can't argue.

 

how is this a fact ? didn't PBF try to fight mosely when Mosely was at 135 and pbf at 130? and didn't mosely say no? didn't pbf call out mosely and was willing to move up after mosely beat Dlh. and mosely said no PBF has tried before in the past mosely wanted no part . im not saying he'll beat mosely we just know mosely wants no part . and mosely had his chance but he chose to take a vacationand get his chicklet fixed

 

You are right. Mosley was wanting Floyd right after the Baldomir fight. My bad. Mosley even said he would be at the post fight interviews calling Floyd out. Mosley was calling Floyd out right after the Baldo fight. My fault.

 

Yes. PBF wanted Mosley. However, Floyd wasn't even a name back then. Shane left 135 and moved up 2 weight classes to fight a prime Oscar. Hardly "ducking" as Floyd likes to claim. And Floyd had nothing to say after Mosley beat Oscar the first time so you are mistaken on that one.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm gonna note the author of the article and make sure I NEVER read anything from him again.

atsch

 

Best people my ass. Hatton lost to Collazo if you have eyes. Mosley almost shut Collazo out. Hatton is going to get torched. You know, I know it and Floyd knows it. Hatton is NOT the biggest threat to Floyd. Agree or disagree?

 

I just made a thread about this bull**** yesterday, and here we go today with another article criticizing Floyd for making the biggest fight that could probably be made in the sport. People are really biting the hand that feeds them because we are getting great matchups and instead of celebrating, more people insist on complaining and whining about ducking. Give me a break.

 

so now pbf is scared of a man he called out before the vargas fight and after both vargas fights.mosley had his reasons both times why he was not going to fight floyd at the moment.now that shane is older and pbf is the man to beat and his has or at least he feels has the best chance in beating floyd he wants to fight him now.

when pbf said jump shane did not say how high and now that shane is saying jump why should pbf say how high.besides pbf fight hatton next does not mean he want fight shane afterwards or before its all said and done.

i mean if hatton has the style to beat pbf and all that other bs people say and dont really believe(atleast i hope not) then why isnt pbf getting more credit for fighting the tough hatton.

he gone fight shane and when he do im bitching again, because the same people who are fake pissed by pbf's choice to fight hatton and not shane, will be talking more **** when pbf fights him and they say pbf waited to long and shane is to old.back to the pbf only wants to fight passed prime fighters again.

besides hatton is the best fighter at the same time easier fight he can beat right now, so to me it would atleast make sence to take out the top p4p 10 guy or higher 1st and then the rest, im mean save the best for last right.

pbf aint scared of shane and vice verca, but pbf can fight when he feels like, shane did it twice so now what.

 

I think Hatton is one of the best fights, if not the best fight, available. This is bull****.
