if he beats the winners of tony williams and cotto judah then who's left hatton ok and beats him then if that don't shut them up what will?

even if he fights SSM and fights these guys will the haters keep quiet?

quick answer no because they will still say someone is good enough to beat him and heis ducking them. lol next they will be saying maussa is a worthy opponent for him crying out loud.

To be fair, Maussa is a world beater!

sleepless has just earned genius status in my eyes.

PBF whould be aware that fans has the ultimate authority of who and who's not worthy to fight you. if pbf lets the fans decide whom he'll fight next then he gets more respect from that. it eliminates doubters one by one and by showing you aren't choosy and willing to fight everyone. You raise the bar of respect even higher. so what should mayweather do after he got that very big paycheck from ODLH fight?.. He should try to win and follow the fan's heart..

You're right. I wish he'd follow through on his threats too. Remember how just before the DLH fight he said he said he would "punch Ricky Hatton is his fat belly"? and was only retiring in America, but would fight in the UK.

If you make a threat like that, follow it up.

yeah i agree. he should back it up or else it's another let down to the fans eyes.

You can call me a Floyd "hater" if you want to. I just want to see the guy fight the winner of the ww tournament. If he does that, he wins me over. Maybe fight Hatton if he gets past castillo.

You're a Floyd hater :P

I hate the guy too and I badly wanna see him get KO'd, but every topic you start seems to have something to do with hating Floyd, which is why you're facing so much opposition.

I know alot of people want to see Floyd fight Hatton, but I think fighting the cream of the crop Mosley and then maybe Wright would prove more. Just because if he beats Hatton, people will say he beat a guy who is the right style for him. I would like to see him fight Hatton, but stylewise it is the wrong fight for Hatton. Ricky Hatton has some great fights for him at welterweight.. Although Margarito seems a bit big for Hatton. Hatton/Judah? Great fight. Again Judah would fall the same way he did to Tszyu.. I like Hatton, I just do not think Floyd and Ricky are at the right timing now. Hatton is moving up when Floyd is taking on the Delahoya and Mosleys. Hatton has alot of guys to fight even without Floyd to fight.

I could care less about how much opposition I'm facing. I didn't come on here for everyone to agree with me. I've said plenty of times before on other topics, if Floyd fights the winner of the ww tournament (excpet if its Judah, which i don't think it will be) then you won't hear another bad comment about Floyd from me again. Win or lose, just stepping in the ring with a solid fighter in their prime while he is on top. If that happens, I'll take back everything I've said.

Fair play, but don't you think he deserves any credit for what he's done thus far? I'm bemused to how you can credit Margo for achieving a big fat fuck all when Floyd's list of people he's defeated is so impressive.

Good post and I completely agree.
But that's not where the debate is.
The debate is over whether Margarito actually is threatening his greatness or not.
What I truly believe is that the majority of the fans don't think Tony deserves a fight with Floyd at this point.
Those who feel Tony deserves it are just more vocal about it. And it's understandable why.
And if anyone suggests that Floyd should fight anyone who challenges him, that's insane.
Who's to say Margarito deserves a shot more than this guy or that guy. What has he done to earn it?
You can't do nothing, then call out the number 1 p4p fighter and when he turns you down assume he's ducking you.
No, you need to earn it.
So the debate rages on regarding who deserves a shot and who doesn't.

And I say Tony, not just yet.

Meowza, this is the most rational post I've seen on this forum and you hit the nail on the head . I'm getting sick of seeing people say that Margo deserves this...and how clear it is he's being ducked. Other than Floyd, what big fights has HE actually looked for?

I don't think I've ever discredited Floyd's list of casualties. Floyds done an enourmous job and deserves to be at the top of the pfp rankings right now. But the way he talks about himself, you'd think boxing couldn't live without him and it can. Don't sit in front of the camera tell me that you don't duck anyone when you do. Don't tell me you have nothing left to prove when the ww division is literally full of superstars...some of which who are unbeaten. Don't retire when you could make history. Fight a superstar in his prime while you're at the top. (He actually did that earlier in his career with Corrales and Castillo). This a guy who does have the potential to be one of the 10 greatest fighters of all time. And he could very well do it with an unbeaten record. As boxing fans, we rarely get to see two fighters at the height of their greatness, in the prime of their careers, step in the ring together. It's almost always after one of them is past their prime that the fight finally gets made. Floyd has a chance to take boxings popularity to another level...even the level past the one set when he fought De La Hoya. I don't care if Floyd fights shane or wants to take a year off or what. But I want to see him fight the winner of that ww tournament, and I don't think anyone would disagree with me that he should. Whoever comes out of that (except for Zab) has earned their shot at him. That alone could cement him as one of the best all time in my book.

Ive gone with stay retired although i would love him to fight on beat Cotto and Mosely and unifie 147 i really like Mayweather

What should Mayweather do? I gotta go with "Make up his mind."
