did anyone see this vid of Roger Mayweather predicting The Shane Victory..

[JazMerkin]

That i agree with....and people called roy jones a fraud for not flying over seas to fight all the guys in his era....here's floyd leaving the likes of cotto,margarito,shane,cintron, all behind and they're actually in US.

Wonder how history will read that....but blind floyd supporters will actually convince themselves that the underschoolled, smaller, pacman is more of a threat than those...

Mosley was p4p for what 1 second? And he didn't even deserve it. Roy Jones was better than him at the time that he got the p4p title, just people were tired of ROy's opposition. Margarito isn't that good, I won't say he is terrible because his workrate, inside fighting, and chin are phenomenal. Cotto or Mosley would get a big fight with Floyd if they could generate money, and I think they will get those fights down the road.

If Pacquiao is so unskilled why is he p4p number 1? Why did he beat Oscar 10x worse than anyone before him while being the smallest man to beat oscar? Why did he stop Oscar when Shane couldn't? Why did he get hit less by Oscar than Shane % wise? How did Oscar land almost 100 more punches in his second fight against Shane yet Pacquiao landed like three times as many punches as Oscar did against him.

People should learn from History, often a smaller guy gives somebody their hardest fight, Conn against Joe Louis, Holyfield against Tyson. Frazier against Ali. Speed is the hardest thing to deal with especially when your used tobeing the faster man. Mayweather has never had trouble with size, infact he usually does better against it (N'dou, Baldomir, De La Hoya, Corrales).

You must be high off floyd semen. I don't mean offense. but im a floyd supporter too. check the name. but if you believe for one second that the version of oscar that fought mosely either time was the one that fought pacman then youre either blind or hypnotized by "money mayweather" the first shane v oscar version woud kayo pac inside of 5....

And floyd gets money because of business. He picks guys that he knows he'd look good against...I.e. Gatti....then after he became a PPV fighter he picked guys that he knew he could beat...I.E oscar,judah,hatton, although i dont fault him for fighting hatton...that was a good choice.

And Shane got his P4p no 1 because he skipped two weight divisions to beat oscar. then stayed there, stopped felix a true ww that have never been stopped before. And I don't know how in the hell you can jusitfy that baldomir or judah deserved a shot before cotto or mosley that's just towing the PBF bandwagon.

Mayweather was originally going to fight Judah when Judah was the Lineal Welterweight Champ, however, after Baldomir beat Judah he took on Baldomir in order to become the lineal Welterweight Champion. He then fought Judah in order to try & unify the division although Judah would vacate the WBA before this happened.

Cotto would only move up to 147 at the tail end of 2006, after which PBF fought only two more fights, against ODLH at LMW & then Ricky Hatton, both of which were considerably more financially worthwhile.

At the time that Mayweather came up to 147, Mosley was fighting Vargas at LMW, & though he would come down to capture the interim WBC belt whilst Floyd fought Oscar, he chose to vacate it in order to fight Cotto. Now I'm not saying that specifically chose not to fight Floyd or ducked him, it's probably that Golden Boy probably realized they could make more having Mayweather fight Hatton.

So there are your reasons why Mayweather fought those guys first, I'm not saying they were great fights but there clearly were reasons why he fought them, principally that the 2 guys you mention were not fighting at Welterweight at the time
