    If you are gonna bash Floyd at least get it right.

    Tszyu Hatton was signed before Mayweather and Gatti. And Tszyu lost before Mayweather even beat Gatti so I don't know how Mayweather was ducking someone who was already obligated to fight and then lost. Mayweather then beat the guy who beat Tszyu by knocking him out. And the weight excuse really doesn't come into factor as Mayweather isn't a guy who imposes his will on you and tries to over power you, he lays back lets you come forward and counters you and he would have knocked out Hatton the same way at 140 as he did at 147 because him beating Hatton had to do with Hattons style, how Floyd adjusted to it and timed him. All that would have happened at 140 was Floyd would have been quicker slicker and hit harder so Mayweather beat Hatton no matter how many ways you wanna twist and turn it. and no one gives Hatton shit for beating the natural lightweight and past his prime Castillo did they? No, not a single thing of hate was said. Mayweather also beat Corralez, Genaro Hernandez whose only lost was when he moved up in weight and got beat by Oscar De La hoya, he beat Judah and Baldomir the number 1 and two guys at welterweight, beat Hatton who was the number one guy in the class Floyd "ducked" Tszyu in and he moved up to De La Hoya's weight, in De La Hoya's ring, under De La Hoya's promotion using De La Hoya's gloves and he still won, he didn't make Oscar move down in weight and be "drained" as some call it, he gave Oscar every advantage and still won the fight. People complain about who Floyd ducks and how its wrong he gets a shot, tell me how its right that Erik Morales gets a third fight with Pacquiao and why Pacquiao didn't fight Raheem? Raheem may not have been someone to beat Pacquiao but still if people want to say Mayweather ducked who by beating someone then we can use that same logic and say pacquiao ducked Raheem for an easier fight against an obviously on the slide Erik Morales couldn't we.

    Mayweather double standard is true, but the person who wrote the article could have done a better job
