The Mayweather double standard.

[piye]

I would never make the argument PBF ducked anyone. However, when he fought for a belt at 147, instead of fighting Margarito or others, he fought Baldomir.

After that fight, instead of fighting Cotto, Margarito, or Williams, he fought jr. welterweight, Ricky Hatton, at 147 mind you, and now instead of fighting Cotto, Mosley or Paul Williams (Margarito is suspended), he is fighting Marquez. Moreover, his next fight looks to be Pacquiao.

Will he ever face a prime, elite welterweight?

The criticism against PBF is that with all the potential options at 147 (in which he probably would be favored), he chooses to fight smaller men.

Take into account Mayweather called out Shane and Cotto, so let's leave them out of the equation; beat Zab (who is now considered a bum but was undisputed welterweight champ) and beat Oscar at 154 no less who else was there for Floyd to fight at Welter at the time?

Paul Williams Although a huge threat, was green and a no name, Berto was unheard of or was and still is very green, so that leaves Margarito as the only option who I agree Floyd could have/ should have fought (Although retrospect makes his choice appear a good one).

i dont remember Floyd calling out Cotto just Shane.

Yeah he definitely did call out Cotto at 140 type it in to google.
