    There is no denying Pacquiao has fought some very dangerous fighters, even dangerous fighters who dont draw crowds, like Marquez, right after he beat Mab, when he could have taken a soft touch, whereas Floyd has avoided all his percieved threats, like Tszyu, Mosely, Cotto, Margarito and Williams.
    Tszyu had already lost to Hatton by the time Mayweather beat Gatti, and well Kostya hasn't fought since, Mayweather went on to beat the shit out of Hatton and yet still gets crap for it, if he would have beaten up Tszyu after the Gatti fight he would of gotten "oh he was already past it, and Hatton already "softened" him up", seriously look at Mayweather's record, has plenty of GREAT wins on it over GREAT fighters, many of which went on to become lineal champs of their divisions, or at least give everyone else hell, it's been said time and time again, Mayweather will always get crap and will never get the credit he deserves, he could beat Marquez, Pacquiao, Cotto, Mosley, and Williams, by the end of 2010 and people will still say that he "avoided" Berto, Ortiz, Angulo, Kirkland, etc., give the guy a break, and i'm by no means a Mayweather fan

    I say this with confidence if Mayweather beat Cotto, Mosley, and Williams, he would silence all of his critics, forever. Indeed, if he beat two out of three, he would silence many of his critics. No one is claiming him to be a junior middleweight or a middleweight, but he fights junior welterweights and blown up lightweights at the welter weight limit. He fought junior middleweight, Ricky Hatton at 147, and now lightweight Marquez at 147/145 (not totally sure).

    He may be great, but he isn't a great welterweight and he shouldn't carry himself as one. If he is going to fight the smaller men, at least do it at their weight. But, he is fighting at 147, fight the fighters who fight at 147.
