Carlos Baldomir was the legitimate welterweight champ after he beat Judah, he had the WBO, IBO, and IBA. Mayweatge Cotto become a welterweight on 12-2-06 Mayweather fought DLN 5-5-07, but Mayweather was ducking Cotto for 6 months right? I'm sorry but Mayweather beat Ricky Hatton up pretty bad and at his own game of inside fighting over ten rounds, also made him hit the turn buckle. Hatton was done after that fight the bully got bullied by his own style of fighting. The reason why Mayweather never fought Cotto, Margarito, or Manny is pretty easy Bob Arum and Top Rank. I guess you forgot that Mayweather bought himself out of his Top Rank contract before the DLH fight at 150lb. Fight DHL for 25 million and be a free agent or fight Cotto/Margarito for 10 million and Top Rank will have an option on your next fight, which one would you take? Answer these questions for me RedRum. Did Manny fight the winners or the losers of these fights? Hatton vs Mayweather, Mayweather vs DLH, Cotto vs Margarito, and Mosley vs Margarito? Did he fight them after they got beat-up in their previous fight? Now do you see a pattern here because I sure do. But like you said it's all good Pac-Man and Mayweather just needs to stop BS'ing and make this fight. This turning into a bad reality show.. Mayweather Sr lol..
He fought the ''losers'' of the fights because Floyd wouldn't fight him. He also fought the welterweights (Floyd's own weight class) that Floyd wouldn't fight. He also fought Juan Manuel Marquez at Marquez' own weight; he didn't force him to move up 2 weight classes and then not make weight himself.
You make it seem like Floyd beat up Ricky Hatton. Seriously? I mean it...seriously? Or he beat up Oscar. Watch the fight. Oscar could have been given that fight. Floyd didn't beat up Oscar; Manny did. Ricky Hatton didn't get beat up by Floyd. Manny knocked his head into Floyd's lap. You want to use these 'he beat him who beat him who beat him who beat him' arguements...Here's one: Floyd outpointed an exhausted Shane Mosley, who lost to Miguel Cotto, who Manny absolutely destroyed. He didn't outpoint him; he beat the shit out of him.
You can make your case for Carlos Fucking Baldomir all you want. It's like putting cologne and a ribbon on shit. It's still shit, buddy.
You want to cry about Manny only fighting ''shot'' fighters, or fighters coming off a loss. At least he fought them. He didn't take some bogus retirement and run with it, only to return to fight someone completely out of their element (and weight class, of course) in Marquez.
BTW...since Manny is getting shit on (BY YOU) for fighting people who were shot because of one loss, wasn't Marquez shot? He was Manny's leftovers, after all. And what about Shane? He's lost a few times before. To add to that, to see how Sergio Fucking Mora almost looked good against Shane in his last fight, why should Floyd get that credit for his fight with Mosley? He had 2-3 rounds...then looked ready to die.
Great.
Bring on the fight.
Floyd.
