Who can Mayweather fight without "fan" excuses

It kills me.  The media and fans have finally figured out that Arum is treating Mayweather the same way he treated De La Hoya when he departed from Top Rank.  Isn't it funny how history repeats itself when your ignorant of the past.  That's why I wasn't buying what Arum was selling.

If your hunting for rabbits, don't get mad when the rabbits got a gun.  Props to Mayweather for keeping his business in order and prepared for a war.  Some of yawl won't understand that but I have to move on.

I want to know who Mayweather has to fight and what are your "expert" mandated conditions so that we don't have excuse number 43?

Examples:
1) Ok, but, Mayweather is too big.
2) Ok, but Mayweather's opponent is too small.
3) Ok, but, Mayweather's opponent is young/inexperienced.
4) Ok, but Mayweather is afraid of the opponent that beat his opponent.
5) Ok, but Mayweather opponent is too old.
6) Ok, but Mayweather knows he can beat his oppponent.
7) So on and so on.

To be honest with you Pimpin, I don't believe there is a fight that Money could take that would not draw some sort of criticism from those who just don't like Floyd. With that being said I'm okay with him fight Sergio at 150 (Sergio's suggested weight for a bout with either Pacquio or Floyd) being that Manny really don't want it.

 You hit the nail on the head. Anything will draw a, BUT. It is what it is though and we should be used to the nonsense by now.

It's funny how pacman fans wanted to dig in on Mayweather when Arum was lying to the media and Mayweathers camp was quiet.  Now with Mayweather talking and Arum and camp backing into a corner with excuses.  Pacman fans are quiet as kept.

Guess there is no way to spin this when a fighter calls out a date and then bypasses the shady promoter to tell the fighter man to man.  Let's get this on. Now spin that.

Good lord I hope that was humor in your poll because if it wasn't, it's funny beyond words.

If Mayweather fights, Manny, Cotto, Sergio, or Canelo.  I don't think he should be critcized at all if he picks any of these guys. 

Maybe just maybe if he fights Cotto, Sergio, Canelo, Pacman and Khan at the same time he might get a pass from the haters, its a longshot though.

Its not as hard as you guys make it out to be, simply fight some of the guys that I mentioned and I'm sure he would silence 95% of his critics. I would certainly give him credit and props for him facing any of the guys I mentioned earlier. There are always going to be that slim number of "Haters" as you guys say, but what great athlete doesn't have some people that will never be fans or followers and you can't expect everyone to have the same love that you do for him. 

I agree with your list Johnny.  If he stays on that list, I'd be happy.

I've said it for years, that had Floyd fought and beat either Cotto OR Margarito back when he should have, he would probably be one of my favorite fighters.  Only the Flomo's make excuses as to why he didn't fight neither one of those guys and give him a pass.  I know he's skilled, and I've never doubted that.  I just don't know HOW skilled he really is because he never fought anyone who I thought was anywhere near his level.  I know, I can hear your Flomo's already...BUT HE'S JUST THAT GOOD AND HE MAKES EVERYONE LOOK LIKE AMATEURS. 

I would take Canelo off that list because he's on the same level as Ortiz...nobody knows how good he really is because he's never fougth anyone at this point in his career.  But if he fought Cotto or Sergio, then I wouldn't mind that.  But it's funny how nobody is making a stink about the catch weight at 150 with Sergio.  Everyone was all over Pac for that, but now that Floyd looks ready to do the same thing, it's okay? 

The reason I personally made a stink about the catchweights for DLH and Cotto is because Manny demanded the catchweight or refused to fight.  Floyd isn't demanding the 150, he is using the number Sergio says he will come down to if Floyd or Manny will fight him.  This catchweight was Sergio's offer, not demanded by Floyd or Manny.  

This catchweight was Sergio's offer, not demanded by Floyd or Manny.  

But if Sergio hadn't made an offer to come down to 150, do you think Floyd would even be considering fighting him?  I don't think so.

Hell no Floyd wouldn't consider fighting Sergio at 160.  And he shouldn't, neither should Manny.  There are weight classes for a reason, and Floyd and Manny are true welters at this point in their careers... they shouldn't be taking on middleweights.


If Sergio thinks he can be effective at a 150 weigh in, which I believe he would be since he has been weighing in 152-158 recently so 150 wouldn't be a huge stretch, then it's his prerogative.    

Hell no Floyd wouldn't consider fighting Sergio at 160.  And he shouldn't, neither should Manny.  There are weight classes for a reason, and Floyd and Manny are true welters at this point in their careers... they shouldn't be taking on middleweights.

So it's not okay for a Welter weight to move up 2 weight classes to fight, but it's okay for a light weight to move up 2 weight classes and fight at welter weight?  Where's the common sense in that?  It's the SAME EXACT THING!  Only difference is, Floyd's too much of a bitch to do that and would rather take the fight he knows he can win.

Floyd fought DLH at 154, so why can't he fight Sergio at 154?  Flopp seems to think Serg is no threat...why does Floyd think he is??

Beacuse Floyd knows a bit more about boxing than the rest of us. 

So it's not okay for a Welter weight to move up 2 weight classes to fight, but it's okay for a light weight to move up 2 weight classes and fight at welter weight?

I never said it wasn't okay for a fighter to move up 2 weight classes to fight, I said it wasn't smart.  And if you ask JMM if it was smart to move up 10 pounds to fight Floyd I'd bet he'd tell you it wasn't very smart.  


It's not Floyd's fault that he is smarter than JMM.  Although JMM looked just fine fighting Manny at 147, so maybe Floyd is just that good and it had nothing to do with weight. lol

And Sergio knows this, he also knows that Floyd probably wouldn't consider fighting him at 154 either right?  But at 150 then he gets the nod.  Isn't this the same thing as basically demanding him to come down to a weight which he thinks he has the advantage?  Floyd may not be asking him to but you and everyone knows that he would never consider fighting him at anything above 150, which is basically demanding a catchweight, no?

You know as well as I do that JMM came in much more prepared in his fight with Manny than he did against Floyd.  When he fought Floyd he was weak and had no pop in his punches.  Maybe it was his piss he was drinking!  But his last fight with Manny, he was ripped!  He was strong and carried the weight well in his punches.  Had he looked like that when he fought Floyd, IMO, it would have been a much different fight.  Along with Floyd coming in at the weight they agreed upon.

It didn't matter if he was the incredible hulk in the fight with Floyd, he went the entire fight without hitting Floyd with a punch.  No matter how ripped JMM gets, he still won't do damage if he can't hit his opponent.

i swear u make so many excuses not to give floyd credit... He's better than every other boxer, get it through your head.... He's an A+ fighter surrounded by Bs
