Oscar De la Hoya
Shane Mosley
Kostya Tszyu
Ricky Hatton
Miguel Cotto
Antonio Margarito
Joel Casamayor
Acelino Frietas
Jorge Barrios
Vernon Forrest
Ricardo Mayorga
Winky Wright
Jesse James Leija
Pernell Whittaker


I mean not all of these guys are world beaters but they are better than let's say......Victoriano Sosa and Henry Bruseles
The names with a line through them are just stupid.  At no times were those fights ever considered.  Or even possible.  The underline names are fighters who don't want to fight Mayweather.  That leaves 4 names.  Margarito is clearly undeserving.  Casamayor I have no doubt would fight him.  But this was a fight that I would of love to see at 130.  Right now Mayweather beats Casamayor pretty easily.  And it's a fight Mayweather would get cruified if he took it.  Wright?  I don't think even Wright knows what he wants.  And he has unsettled bizness with Taylor that need to be addressed.  De La Hoya?  Well we'll see what Oscar decides next year.  Cuz Mayweather has made his wishes clear.
