Maj, i have to agree with you on one thing. I think all boxers should try to keep Mayweather's name out of their mouths.
Mayweather IS the linear champ but its obvious that, at this stage of his career, he is a law unto himself, meaning he simply wont oblige run of the mill challenges (note; not challengers

)
Besides, i have serious reservations on him
a) Fighting a top 5 Welter
or
b) Ever fighting again.
I just dont see him doing it against the big boys of the division.
I mean lets look at Mayweathers last 4 fights, the ones that supposedly ''showed why his legacy is ligit''
Judah, although is still IMO a world class operator, is not (actually never) winning key fights.
Baldomir is a tough fight for mentally frail, chinny or old shot fighter but will never achieve anything in his life except for beating Judah. Who as ive already said, losses key fights.
Dela Hoya The sports most decorated fighter and a garunteed life making paycheck. But lets be honset, Molsey beat him nearly 10 years ago and Cotto, Williams and Margarito would probably beat him now....
That could be up for serious debate but im ready
Hatton... Well, as much as it pains me to say this. If Hatton looked that small against Mayweather then im probably right in saying that the entire top 10 of the WW division would beat him.
Now on the face of things, these four fights look very very decent but really, Maywether has NOT faced the TOP guys at Welterweight. As a Welterweight himself. As the Worlds premier fighter. For whatever reason. That is the fact of the matter.
I know Cotto is yet to also... But you can bet your life he will.
P.S Judah wasn't Mayweathers 1st fight at Welter, it was Shamba Mitchell
