Why is Mayweather avoiding the best available opposition?

Go watch Hatton vs Collazo.
Then watch Mosley vs Collazo and get back to me.

 

Yep, particularly at 147.

PBF's a "bok-bok"er, but he's not dumb

 

This is how boxing has been for decades. The #1 P4P fighter is always going to catch heat for not facing _________ (insert name). Who do you honestly think is the bigger threat to Floyd? Hatton or Mosley? Yes Hatton is undefeated and in his prime. Yes Mosley is older with 4 losses. Still, who do you think would pose the bigger risk to Floyd losing his 0?

 

Ummm Floyd called out Mosely offered a November date, but Mosely had a "toothache"; sorry real fighters dont turn down 50-50 vs. the best p4p fighter because of a toothache when you have 7 months to prep for the fight. Mosely had his chance, passed it up, and if he beats Cotto he'll get his shot.

Mosely comes calling after turning down the challenge.

 

Listen, I love Hatton. I would love to see him win. But lets be real for a second. You obviously are a boxing fan...this fight will be a one-sided blowout. Book it. No matter how bad I want Hatton to win, it's curtains. So no, I wouldn't give Floyd any **** for facing the "old man Mosley" over a prime Hatton. "Old man Mosley" would get brought up on chareges if he faced Hatton.

 

Close thread?

 

Floyd vs. Hatton is a damn good fight @ 140. Floyd vs. Hatton @ 147 when there are better opponents is a different story.

 

Ummm, you are incorrect. Mosley would have had around 3 months to prepare for the Nov fight with Floyd witch would have been his 3rd fight in 2006. How many 34 year old fighters fight 3 times in one year? And oh by the way, your third fight will be against the worlds #1 P4P fighter. Give me a break with that ****. Mosley stated BEFORE the Vargas rematch that he was taking the rest of the year off. Floyd knew exactly what he was doing when he made that "challenge".

 

Now you can close it.

 

Nice comeback mate. I'm seriously not here to argue. (although if I could close it, I would)

We got Floyd vs Hatton and Cotto vs Mosely... Winners facing off. Do BOXING fans really have a problem?

All your doing by flaming Floyd is falling into "human nature", or "animal instincts"...

For some reason, we always have to rip on those who are on top of the mountain. Look at Roy's career.

 

Mayweather vs. Hatton is good for Mayweather, good for Hatton, and good for boxing. It's sad there are still people out there who won't give Mayweather an inch of credit, but I have to say it's refreshing that there are many who are giving him proper respect for going this route.

 

I want to see Maywether fight Cotto. Ok, so what Cotto didnt take the fight earlier. Leonard didn't fight hagler untill years later. and lets not forget that Loenard fought hearns a second times many years afterwards. If anything, Cotto is ready Mentally. he has been in there with guys who were much faster than he. Maywether dosent want to fight anyone at top notch condition. Period. Cottos ready; he has the power to neutralize Mayweather and he is much more skilled and YOUNGER than Boldamir. I would like to see someone that can put Mayweather on the fight game as a GREAT fighter because of his competition and the intensity of his fights; not on his skills

 

What a joke. Mayweather-Mosley is good for boxing. This will be a one sided beat down and you know it. How's that good for boxing?
