Lifequest3,
I know you were reffering to someone else on that last comment but I'm sorry...I have to butt in. It seems that your are a die hard Mayweather fan and think he is unbeatable just because he is undefeated and he makes alot of his opponents look silly. I think Mayweather has the talent to be great but because he loves to hand pick his opponents, and loves the money, it makes him the bad guy. If you go out in public and say you are the best of all times (better than Ray Robinson) , you better have something better to back it up with. 6 titles in 5 weight classes is a hell of an accomplishment but when you look at who he beat to win those titles you begin to wonder...hmmmm? .....
130lb- Genaro Hernandez, 135-J.L. Castillo, 140lbs-A.Gatti, 147-Z.Judah, 154- De La Hoya. a combined loss total of 18 losses between them when he fought each of them.
I think Mayweather is unbeatable 135 or less. He is a god in my opinion in those weight classes but when he has moved up to the welterweights, he has pretty much said who he wants to fight. Every single fighter since he has moved up to welterweights has had more than 2 losses with the exception of "Overrated Hatton." If you go back 3-4 yrs when he entered the welterweights, the big names in these weight classes if my memory serves me right were Tzsyu, Margarito and Mosley. He never landed a mega fight with any of these 3 fighters. Why? because they can present him problems in the ring. Thats why. They all have heart and power and will come after him for 12 rounds. He doesn't want that. He learned his lesson in the 1st Castillo fight!
I also want to know through what source did you hear that Mayweather's camp was trying to land a fight with Cotto 3-4 yrs ago? I want to know when and where? I know some of the people that work in Cotto's camp and thats not what they've been saying. I hope you aren't actually believing what Mayweather and Ellerbe have been saying to the media. Because those are the same guys who said that Mosley has been ducking Mayweather for years and that he has fought the best fighters in every weight class. Come on now! Those two guys are selling the public that doesn't know about boxing. Those two guys got to the top the smart way......not the hard way!!! So before you go talking down about Cotto and his pieces of meat, you might want to go refresh on all of the fighters Mayweather has fought to date. Cotto has the potential to be a legend. Mayweather already is considering himself great because he tko'd ARTURO GATTI in 6? or ran around the ring against a BALDOMIR? Are you serious? My man, to be the best.....you must beat the best! You dont walk out when there is still fighters to beat to prove that he is the best. He isn't afraid of Cotto nor Margarito, but he is afraid of a loss and his money and fame dissapearing.
