    ...and what if THE MAN didn't want to fight you? That's what happened to Cotto...he should have gotten his shot at Floyd, it's not as if Floyd fighting him was going to be charity work or anything.

    If THE MAN don't want to fight you it means he can earn more money elsewhere

    He wouldn't fight Paul Williams either....I mean Floyd is as talented of a fighter as I have EVER seen, but MY GOD it's frustrating seeing how he does business.

    ARE YOU FUKIN SHITTING ME LYLE!!!!

    Who was Paul Williams when Floyd was fighting? Why didnt Floyd fight him? Oh yea huge money fights with Hatton and Delahoya thats why !!! Now your saying its frustrating how he does business?? How much friggin more money and better business position could he have created for himself? Damn your a fool sometimes

    Look at the time frames Einstein, Williams was a prospect when Floyd won the title and then went on to make a bizillion dollars back to back fighting 2 of the biggest names and supported fighters of this era.

    Williams meanwhile beat Margarito, who everyone thought was overrated and then lost to a mediocre Quintana. Seriously do you read half the shat you type. It wasnt till Floyd retired Williams rebounded and forged this incredible foothold in 3 divisions..

    Class dismissed

    He could've earnt more money fighting Oscar again, which he chose not to do. If he had fought Oscar in September/October of last year as was mooted then he might not have planned another fight again till July anyway. I don't think he's #1 in the division, Mosley is now, but it's not like he ducked anyone whilst away to fight weaker contenders. I think he just wanted the 'long vacation' that he always spoke of.

    Floyd could also have earned money (and respect) by unifying titles....but he never even tried that which means in each weight class he has fought in he hasn't beaten all of the best guys out there.

    You can say that certainly about Light-Welterweight & in most eyes about Welterweight (although he is a lineal champ there), but not about his time at Super-Featherweight & Lightweight. Light-Welter is the only weight at which he has not fought the top guy at the weight. I admit I would have liked for him to fight the best welters, but he hasn't yet. Who cares about unifying a load of trinkets, it usually becomes a racket & one of the fighters drops their belt as in the Cotto-Clottey fight. Lineal championships matter more than defending some alphabet in Sven Ottke style.

    The title holders who Floyd Mayweather Jr. DID NOT fight:

    Welterweight: Miguel Cotto, Paul Williams, Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, Luis Collazo, Carlos Quintana

    Light Welterweight: Miguel Cotto, Vivian Harris, Kostya Tszyu

    Lightweight: Paul Spadafora, Leonard Dorin, Artur Grigorian

    SuperFeather: Joel Casamayor, Acelino Freitas

    ...I think a couple of those guys would have done OK with Floyd, guess we'll never know, infact I KNOW I will catch hell for even posting such a blasphem against the All Great Floyd Mayweather Jr. the fighter who is great not because of WHO he fights but only because of the skill he has
