done great things in boxing. For him (Margarito) , he held a title at 147, then went to 154, failed, came back down, fought a couple cab drivers, and now he's in line to fight Floyd Mayweather? It doesn't work that way."
Mayweather added: "That's what makes me the champion I am. That's why they're going to say Floyd Mayweather was the best fighter ever. I'm a risk-taker."

(this might be a repost but its sumthing i just found)
I enjoy watching Mayweather, but his record and hype is inflated. He has dismissed a lot of good boxers in his post fight comments. One person that I want to see him fight is Cotto. I have heard Cotto (through a translator) say that he would fight Mayweather anywhere anytime, but I heard Mayweather dismiss Cotto after the Gatti fight saying that he was too young. Never heard that excuse before.

I think that's what Mayweather really meant when he said too young.
