He is a different class all together. I think you can only say someone ducked a fighter when the fighter they supposedly ducked is actually a threat. How was Margarito, Hatton at 140 and Cotto a threat? What did we actually see that showed this guys could hang with floyd at all? Cotto would of been systematically dismantled and tkoed very similiar to what Floyd did to hatton.
I completely agree, all of the 'Mayweather beaters' Floyd has allegedly dodged have been exposed as overrated hype products pretty much.
The way it seems to work is that Floyd beats up someone so that was clearly a handpicked opponent and the guys he hasn't fought yet are the world beaters.
There is NOBODY from superfeatherweight to welterweight who was around during Floyd's career that could have beaten him.
Look at the tests, Coralles annihilated, Hatton humiliated,
Mosely schooled, these are all great fighters and the got there asses handed to them by Floyd.
Was not the case...and history will read it as mosley was 38 and got old..couldn't even do what made him shane mosley his whole career..
Because Floyd didn't allow him to. If Floyd had ran and danced away and allowed Mosley to regain himself like Mosley thought he would and fought Mosley's pace like Margarito did it would have ended the same way. Mayweather pressuring Mosley after he was stunned and into the 3rd round onwards is the reason Mosley got old.
If Mosley got old Mayweather put him in the rocking chair.
You can't say "mosley got old" in an attempt to take credit from Floyd. he sure as heck didn't look old in the second round, but Mayweather pressures him back and takes the fight away from him and its "Mosley got old" yeah like father time decided that he was gonna keep Mosley young for 2 rounds only and Mayweather had nothing to do with it. If Mosley got old, Mayweather put him there.
There was a reason he could do what made him Shane Mosley for years against Margarito yet couldn't against Mayweather.
Because Margarito fought his pace and it allowed him to, while Floyd took it away from him, simple as that. Mosley couldn't do what made him Shane Mosley because Mayweather didn't allow him to.
