floyd turns down Mosley....

[Taeth]

those people were insanely hoping thats what would happen...none of those guys possess the package mosley does. he's all of them combined. 50/50 SSM vs PBF with the tide rolling to shane.

Castillo, Corrales are not just more offensive fighters than Mosley, they possess the same p4p power he does at WW if not a lot more. Oscar hits harder than Mosley, he's quick, he's a better boxer(watch their second fight).

is this comment based off your assumption? Clearly not fact.

Because corrales was soundely beaten by clottey who walked through his shots all night.

And castlllo couldn't move hatton at 140 and lost to lujan at 147....

And dude let me clear something up with you,cause its getting kinda of silly. Yeah floyd is retired, and i dont have invested in any of these guys.
So my feeling arent hurt as you seem to think. I'm simply being objective.

Let me ask you this: If floyd fought and beat mosley, cotto, berto, clottey, and margo, would he not be considered higher than he would be with his current record?

If he doesn't fight again, fine. If he does then great. But he's the one that stated time and time again that he was concerned with his legacy. And after the hatton fight he said he was taking a break until 2010, so go figure. Ive also stated that id be pulling for PBF if they (he and mosley)did fight.

I am talking about Corrales at 130, and Castillo at 135 have more power than Mosley has at 147, look at their KO% at those weights. Castillo by the time he got to Hatton had destroyed his body by making lightweight for so long, he wasn't the same fighter that fought Mayweather. Also Mayweather was smaller, he would have had smaller neck muscles, etc. People gain in their ability to take a punch as they go up in weight because their body gets bigger, they spar with bigger guys who hit harder.

Obviously beating Cotto, Mosley, Pacquiao, Berto(if he beats some big name guys) would help Mayweather's legacy, but he doesn't want to do it unless its a big enough fight, he wants to have the big fights, but he wants the big money to do so, and he got it against Oscar and Ricky, and he would get it against Manny or Cotto, or Berto in a year or two. But from the 24/7's it looks like Mayweather training as hard as he does has taken its toll on his body. It also seems like the spot light was a big burden on him especially when he was hated to the degree he was on his tours. Even though he likes the attention I think that much attention stressed him out or seemed to, and that is likely why he took so much time off, and why he only wants big fights that will not only make him a ton of money, but also improve his legacy like fighting the Pacquiao-Hatton winner, or possibly the winner of Mosley-Cotto if they fight.

so you believe a fight with pac would better for PBF's legacy than a fight with Mosley?

it could be. Shane is clearly the tougher opponent but Pac is #1p4p and has been climbing up the weight classes and if he kos hatton then he would have kod Floyds last 2 fighters he beat.

Well he did ko hatton. If floyd comes back it wont be until next year cause he even said it himself so if Mosley doesnt lose to Cotto in the rematch if they have one then i would say fight Pac if he beats Hatton.
