Mayweather runs his mouth wreckless again.

I'm disappointed in you guys. I expected to come in here and read a whole new batch of posts filled with Mayweather hate.

He said to Jim Lampley on HBO that he's been the best in the game since 1996 and that Mosley has been ducking him since 1998.

Come on, bash this guy!

Come on dude,its not posts filled with hate,you have some of the best posters here just sharing their opinion on him and justifying it. If you think it's hating,fair enough.

Dude, I was just joking.

So was I :P So are you favouring Oscar to beat Floyd bro?

[THE THIRD MAN]

There is no doubt in my mind that Mayweather has manufactured a brilliant career over the years carefully picking opponents and avoiding those he knows would trouble him.
Only Jose Luis Castillo has given him trouble and that was only because he totally underestimated him the first time. Mayweather has avoided splendidly Mosely, Tszyu, Cotto, Hatton and Margarito in favour of fighting washed up older guys like Mitchell, Gatti, DeCorley a journeyman in Baldomir and a mentally challenged Zab Judah whose career is in the doghouse! Mayweather will need every bit of those great defensive skills he has to avoid a humiliating defeat at the hands of De La Hoya.
Then he should go back to 147 and prove he really is as good as he says he is and unify the Welterweight crown. Stop talking about it Floyd and do it!! Currently you would be ranked about 20th in any list of the best fighters of the past 30years.

Could you point out exactly when Floyd Mayweather avoided Shane Mosley? In other words, find one point throughout their careers where they've been at the same weight class at the same time. (Hint: From 2000-late 2005, they were anywhere between 12-19 pounds apart)
If you've got time, also tell me when Cotto and Hatton made offers to Mayweather that he refused.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Why should Hatton and Cotto make the first move?
It was Mayweather moving up in weight class and he should have made the challenge, isn't that what you do when you are a champion in a lighter weight division and you want to prove yourself against the best in the next division up? He was at 135 for a long time when Tszyu was smashing everybody at 140.
I'm just pointing out that Mayweather is now fighting at 154 and he has missed all these guys, Mosely is now at 147?
Mayweather has done a great job but has yet to prove himself against any of the top 140-147 pounders out there.
I think he would beat Hatton or Cotto, i just want to see him do it.
De La Hoya will be to strong for him at 154, he needs to go back to 147 and clean house there.
His legacy will be assured if he became undisputed Welter king.

Why should Hatton and Cotto make the first move?

Cotto doesn't want any part of fighting Floyd... yet. Neither do Cotto's promoters. Which is the right move for them. Cotto is still working his way up to better and better opponents. His promoters aren't going to put him in with Mayweather until he's ready. Cotto is 3 years younger than Floyd. The longer Cotto can wait, the older Floyd will get. Cotto is smart to wait a while. That fight has not even been a possibility up to this point.

The Hatton/Mayweather thing has been argued a million times here in a bunch of different threads. I think the majority of people here, even some Hatton fans, agree that Hatton doesn't really want to get in the ring with Mayweather. Floyd is just way too fast and skilled for him.

I'm just pointing out that Mayweather is now fighting at 154 and he has missed all these guys, Mosely is now at 147?

Mosley fought Vargas last year at 154. After the second Vargas win, Mosley announced that he was going back down to 147, but that he wouldn't fight again until 2007. Mayweather needed to find an opponent, and since Mosley was taking time off, Baldomir, who had the belts, was the choice. After beating Baldomir, Floyd did the right thing in accepting a mega-payday against DLH. There has never been an opportunity for Floyd to fight Shane to this point. If Floyd beats DLH, I expect him to seek out Mosley, and vice versa, because that would be the biggest payday out there for both guys.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Win or lose against De La Hoya a Mayweather v Mosely fight is a nice thought for boxing fans.
Cotto too has to step up and take on the top guys, he must fight Margarito or Williams or Judah for that matter (If he would only get his act together) As for Hatton, maybe his win against Tszyu took more out of him than we all thought as he really hasn't come on as well as expected.
I don't doubt for a second that Mayweather would take him to the cleaners!
