floyd mayweather is the greatest fighter of all time.

[Wasp]

Fighting Sharmba Mitchell instead of Mosely is fight dodging.

Jumping through the weight divisions avioding the best in the divisions is fight dodging. Plain and simple.

You guy's are basically saying Gatti was the best in Light welter weight. LMAO. Dream on.

Your just a hater plain and simple, i never said Gatti was best Jr Welterweight. Ricky Hatton/Kostya was at that time everyone knows that, we had this debate and your points were weak, all you kept saying was, *Mayweather ducked Mosley* and i kept giving you the facts at what weight they were at the time. And why the fight didn't happen and your counter argument was *Mayweather ducked Mosley* your just a hater.

[Wasp]

Well make your choice.

Either Mayweather ducked Mosely. Or Gatti was the best LWW at the time Mayweather was a LWW.

Either way Mayweather hasn't een fighting the best in each division.

You see what i mean ?? weak points all the time. Thats all you keep saying *Mayweather ducked Mosley* I gave you the facts in the other thread and backed up my points well you had no counter argument except *Mayweather ducked Mosley*

I never even said Gatti was best Jr Welterweight why do you keep bringing it up ??

[Wasp]

I brought it up because Mayweather can't be the greatest fighter of all time unless he has beaten the best fighters.

Your points on how Mayweather couldn't fight Mosely are wrong though.

Okay they were both at Welter weight.

Shane Mosely fights Jose Luis Cruz.
Floyd Mayweather fights Sharmba Mitchell.

Guess what happens next for both Jose Luis Cruz and Sharmba Mitchell. Ohhhhh they fight each other why would that be?
Why because Floyd Mayweather and his team decided he wasn't good enough to fight Mosely.

Either way. they could of fought after the first Vargas fight

And yours are right ??

Okay they were both at Welter weight.

Mayweather fought his first fight at Welterweight on November 2005, Mosley's last fight at Welterweight was September 2005, he moved up to Lightmiddleweight after his fight with Cruz.

Shane Mosely fights Jose Luis Cruz.
Floyd Mayweather fights Sharmba Mitchell.

Yes and ??

[Wasp]

Shane Mosely fights Jose Luis Cruz.
Floyd Mayweather fights Sharmba Mitchell.

Yes and ??

And then Jose Luis Cruz fights Sharmba Mitchell. What should of happened was Mayweather Vs Mosely. Mayweather was scared because Mosely just had a close fight against pound for pound Winky.

Notice the difference between the dates you gave. 2 months? Easily could of had a fight arranged. Mayweather ducked him.

Just because the loser fights the loser, doesn't automatically mean the winner has to fight the winner. Thats silly logic and Cruz was never ever good anyway. Stop reading up boxrec and going by judges scores and actually watch the fight. Mosley was beat the same way he was beat the in the 1st fight by Winky Wright it was almost an exact repeat of there 1st meeting.

Cruz was handpicked opponent for Mosley on his come trail.

Notice the difference between the dates you gave. 2 months? Easily could of had a fight arranged. Mayweather ducked him.

Mosley moved up to Lightmiddleweight how is that Mayweather's fault ?? did Mosley's camp offer him a fight, make a deal or etc ??

[ono]

Yeah right. He beats Arturo Gatti and then runs away to fight Sharmba Mitchell instead of fighting "Sugar" Shame Mosely.

Mayweather is a coward. Thought you would of figured that out by his attitude.

I already had this debate with you and i already proved the point that Mayweather didn't duck Mosley.

Just because a wind up merchant has made this pointless thread doesn't give you the right to discredit a great fighter like Mayweather. Because that just makes you as bad as this guy, in fact you sound like a hater.

Ice no point in getting involved in pointless discussion with guys like this. They won't be sticking around anyway pal.

I have seen very few with Floyd's ring intelligence and boxing ability. But it's easy to showcase them when you are fighting opponents like Sharmba Mitchell, Henry Brusseles, Arutro Gatti, and Carlos Baldomir, guys whose skills are nowhere near Floyd's. If you want to consider yourself the best, you must fight the top fighters out there, and though there aren't many out there on Floyd's level today, he must fight the Mosleys', the Margaritos', the Cottos', and the Williams' to silence all doubters. I'll call Floyd great when he does to those what he has done to others.

How about.

Genaro Hernandez
Oscar De La Hoya
Ricky Hatton
Jesus Chavez
Zab Judah
Carlos Hernandez
Angel Manfredy
Diego Corrales
Jose Luis Castillo x2

Are you going to tell me these are not good opponents ?? and just for the record there isn't anyone near Mayweather's skill level in Welterweight division.

Finito, many of those fights were LONG AGO, and as Floyd has climbed the weights, his level of competition has not been as consistent as when he was below 140. And as I said, I don't remember many with Floyd's skills, but the fighters I mentioned (Margarito, Mosley, Williams, and Cotto) certainly have better skills that Baldomir, Gatti, Mitchell, Brusseles, wouldn't you say? And you can't claim no one in the welterweight division has the skill level of Floyd unless you put them in the ring with him to prove it, correct?

"floyd mayweather is the greatest fighter of all time."

You know, I respect Mayweather and all, but that statement is just troll bait. Mayweather proved his worth at Lightweight and lower, and i consider him an ATG at those weight classes.

As of now, he has not even proven he is the best at welterweight, his current weight class. Selective opponent picking and fighting guys unproven in that given weight class will never sway my opinion. You have to be realistic, step back and take a good look at the picture here.

When you got guys like Cotto, Williams, Margarito, who have proven to be the current hard fighters at that division, completely getting ignored, it will raise eyebrows. I call bullshit when he claims it is all business and he will only fight guys who can raise the gate as he is more than willing to Mix in the Baldomir's, Mitchell's, and others far past their prime. How is a true fight fan supposed to interpret this?

Could Mayweather beat Cotto, Williams or Margarito? He is so skilled he very well could. When he slips away from those guys though, you will see that he will not go into a fight that is a huge risk. It has nothing to do with finances, as he could fight Butterbean and it would create a huge gate, simply because he is fighting.

I'll rank him as great for his earlier accomplishments, but in it's current state, I will need a lot more convincing. As of right now i consider him an incredibly gifted fighter who kicks ass. I just want to see some real ass kicked!!
