Mayweather - Marquez

[Kirkland Laing]

Golden Boy really are arseholes to do that during his interview. When Mayweather does fight Mosley he'll beat him like a gong.

Mayweather would wreck Mosley and people would bitch about how he only fights old guys. He would beat Pac and people will bitch about how he only fights smaller guys. He would beat Cotto and people would talk about how Margarito ruined Cotto. The guy really can't win in the court of public opinion.

He could earn more respect by fighting people in his own weight class who are in their prime. It would also help if he would make the weight originally stipulated in the contract and stop talking complete and utter rubbish.

Mayweather would have earned a LOT more respect by fighting Mosley or Cotto. I don't think anyone would question a Pacman fight if Pac does an impressive number on Cotto either. But instead he picked on a valiant but way undersized LW.

If Pacquiao beats Cotto, Mayweather will gain more respect for beating him than Mosely.

Honestly I'd like to see both fights. I think Pac has enough speed to make it interesting and enough power to keep it honest, but Mayweather is a perfect storm. Too much power for the smaller guys, too much speed for the bigger guys, and too much skill for just about anyone.

It'll take a perfect storm to beat him - as much as I'd love to see it, I don't know if it will ever happen. The man is just that good. I'd still like to see him keep fighting - there are a lot of excellent fights out there.

PBF Jr. outclassed an outclassed opponent in JMM. Now what is there to crow about?

I'm with you all the way there... I'll give him this one though as his comeback fight, but he can't go for a smaller guy again...

My annoyance on the subject comes most from the fact I know Mayweather can do just as good against better guys, and although there will always be people finding fault with his opponents and make excuses for why he shouldn't get unconditional props for his wins, but he's clearly got an A grade proven selection of fighters that MOST people will respect him for taking.. And if he despatches of them convingly then there will be excuse makers, but common sense people will give him the respect....

How many threads and posts does Mayweather get every time he announces a fight, because people don't think it's the quality oppoenent that he should be fighting? That's certainly not 100% because people just will always hate on Mayweather.... It's because in the past he's taken the common sense fights for him that are big paydays, biggish names, not so much risk (in the eyes of him and fans)...

I've always said he'll probably destroy cotto or shane or margarito, but regardless if he continues to overlook the fights that the fans want, then there will always be controversy...

You can never prove yourself to everyone, but you can prove you fucking tried..!
