Margarito is obviously a joke, if he couldn't deal with Mosley's movement and defensive skills how would he land a punch on Mayweather? Let alone beat him... And no Mayweather didn't stick around, he went up to 154 to win a belt against Oscar De La Hoya who was arguably the best fighter at 154 at the time. Then he beat Hatton who people had wanted Floyd to fight for 4 or 5 years? Sure Mosley knocked out Mayorga, but that was in the twelth round, look at what Oscar did to Mayorga, and that was a better Mayorga.

Also its ironic, Thought Mosley had already moved up to 147, Mayweather was calling him out to fight at 135-140ish, and Mosley refused saying he was p4p#1, and that Mayweather wasn't worth his time monetarily.

I wouldnt listen to Floyd haters really. If Floyd had moved up and beat Cory Spinks who was the best at 154 they would have just said that Spinks was nothing special and he should have fought Oscar. It doesn't matter. People try to say the belts dont matter so you fight this guy and that guy but when Floyd fights and beats them they say "What about the guy holding the belt there" etc.
Floyd is the one who insists he is as great as the likes of SRL.

He also insists he is the 'cash cow' of boxing, which he clearly isn't.

He has avoided Cotto, Margarito and Mosley when they were all fighting each.

He still says he is the best P4P fighter in the world, like boxing was somehow frozen in time in his absence.

Says Mosley is not 'worthy' due to having 5 losses on his record. Gatti and Baldomir must have been lucky......or was it Gatti's popularity and a piss poor undisputed champ that swayed him?

These are my MAJOR beefs regarding Floyd.



He is an exeptional talent but too shit scared of losing his 0, so we won't ever find out how great he could of been.
You should understand that a fighter needs to call you out in order for you to duck them. Floyd was calling Mosley out when he was at the lower weights and it never happened. And No one was clamoring for Mosley to fight Floyd after he lost to Wright, or after he lost to Cotto or looked average against Mayorga. They ONLY started begging for it after Mosley stopped Margarito and Mayweather was already retired. So people need to stop acting like Floyd was ducking Mosley. As far as I know Cotto never tried to make the fight with Mayweather. When Cotto was taking step up fights against Zab Judah was when Floyd was at 154 and fighting Oscar De La Hoya and then he fought Hatton and retired. So I can't think of a time Floyd would duck Cotto, if you got one tell me. And can we stop bringing up Margarito already? That dead horse has been beaten to death.
