If Mayweather returns...

[JazMerkin]

I think both these fights would be worth it for his ATG rating, however, there would definitely be people who said 'oh he just beat up on smaller fighters'. If he beat Vitali there would doubtless be those who would say 'oh well Vitali clearly got old overnight'. Even though I'm a big fan of his, I actually don't think boxing needs him, I think there's enough good fights left. There will always be good young fighters coming through, hell he could beat Cotto, Mosley, Clottey & Berto, & then people would say he's duckin Victor Ortiz or Demetrius Andrade.

Also the argument about his weight is defunct, the fact is he is the smaller man than Hatton, the difference is he was actually coming down in weight after beating ODLH, which Hatton's team were claiming up until the start of the fight would affect him & leave him out of shape. They were saying before the fight how small he was & how Hatton would overpower him, so you can't make excuses after. Mayweather has a similar build to Casamayor all round (I think he might be an inch taller) but for me this makes him a natural lightweight or light-welter who has just chosen to fight above his weight.

I dont think he needs to. I use to hate just cos i wanted to someone beat him. Truthfully I dont think anyone ever could.
I wouldnt argue his greatness over his resume just the way he went about his work in the ring. Id happily place him top 10 p4p ever. Love it if he came back.

Prolly would not give him props for beating either of them though.cos IMO it's a no brainer Mayweather owns both of them. The guy is unbeatable.
