You know why? Those guys are BIG and they are in their primes AND they are in a weight class that is comfortable to them and that they are proven in.

Floyd is an awesome boxer but he HAS NEVER UNIFIED OR ATTEMPTED TO UNIFY ANY DIVISION HE HAS EVER FOUGHT IN. That being 100% the case there have been AT LEAST 3 fighters per division that Floyd has either not fought, they have ducked him, or FLOYD ducked them and it is definently one of the three. Sure I can understand why Floyd wouldn't want to waste his time fighting Selcuk Aydin or Ashley Theophane....but why not someone like Cotto, Williams, Berto, etc.....I personally think Miguel Cotto is just as big of a draw as anyone else at welterweight these days so why not fight him Because he's not EASY money like Marquez was.....especially when Floyd is so fucking unsportsmanlike to make the God damned weight.

There was a REASON that was supposed to be a catch weight fight and everyone saw it by the end of the night. I'm not saying 2 pounds made all the difference but Floyd didn't even go to the sauna to sweat it out to be a good sport that is the cheapest shit and very unprofessional.
He won the lineal title from shitty Baldomir, then fought in 2 of the biggest moneymaking events of the past 25 years. name me a boxer that would have ignored all of that to fight a prospect at the time Williams or Cotto Mosely who fought 1 month before he fought Hatton? Then he took a Comeback fight after almost 2 years against JMM. I mean read man, If his next 1-2 fights are against Jorge Lianres or Tim Bradley than I'll join the witchunt, but the majority of you are being bitter pricks...

According to all of you Floyd was irrelevant when he retired, you hated he was #1, now you have your exciting be all end all Henry Armstrong Manny Pacquiao. So the good news is you dont have to worry about Floyd you should all be more occupied with Pac

Last time I checked contracts dont get signed during post fight interviews, so all of you bleeding hearts with your arms around Shanse Mosely calling Floyd a pussy really need to grow up already
