Morales washed up Zahir Raheem beat him easy for god sake
David Diaz very nearly lost to the washed up Morales
De la Hoya weight drained beyond belief had to be re hydrated by IV before fight
Hatton was basically done after Mayweather look at the Lazcano fight
Cotto already been demolished by Margarito and nearly lost to Clottey and had to weigh 145lbs
Clottey just came to survive 12 rounds had been beaten by Cotto already
Margarito had been demolished by Mosley in his fight before last and was having to come down to 150lbs
I think Floyds opponents and apparent circumstance in those fights are more of a joke. But even if you can take away these bits and pieces from the fights... HOW did Pac win? He came in there and TOOK the title from the opponents. Sorry but Baldomir Vs Mayweather will never go down as the "linear/unified title" being passed down. Not the same one that SRL, Starling, RayRob or Benitez fought for anyway.
With regards to Cotto and Clottey (highlighted): How can you draw a comparison by using one guys "near loss" to another guys "clear win"? Pick one way or the other. If that ain't straddling the fence I dunno what is..
Pac just proved he would take a paycheck that Mayweather was not willing to cash years ago. And I truly believe Margarito is a better fighter than he was 3-5 years ago. Marg would have been out in 3-4 back then against Pac.
My favorite thing about Pac Margarito? ... Roach said he would knock Marg out in the 3rd and he almost did (in the 4th). THAT is something you could definitely count Mayweather out of being about to do. And I think few people on here took Roach seriously when he said that.
