My issue with Mayweather is with his record in the last several years. A lot of his fights at JWW and above have holes in them. Bruseles and Mitchell? Hardly anticipated bouts. A Gatti who had lost half a dozen? A Judah who had just lost? A Baldomir who was never particularly good? A Hatton beyond his optimum weight? Mosley after a massive layoff?

No Cotto. No Margarito. And most significantly no Pacquiao.

Sure, Mayweather did a lot in his younger years, but in recent years there has been a lot that makes you question him.

He is an exceptional fighter, but in recent times, asides from Oscar, you always sense that he was looking for the easier options or else a way to make the tougher fights easier.
