Well ive heard that he didnt want to risk an 'L' going in with Tszyu. Cause we all know the main temptation of moving up was the Golden Boy in his prime.

Mayweather chased an old dream (in Dela Hoya) and its not sold so well, plus his original stint at Welterweight was a bit of a freudulant escapade (As Boozeboxer explains)

I think Mayweather needs to settle down at Welterweighte again and just have a couple more fights after Hatton, against the big boys (Cotto, Mosley, Williams, Margarito... Hell even Clottley or Cintron).

If he beats a couple of those guys, id be happier hearing people call Mayweather a Great fighter.
