He ducks pacquiao for a good two years by demanding crazy things and new things every time they tried renegotiating. All though Arum is to blame here two because he is a dirt bag. I mean he has faced tough guys but when it comes to guys that can hurt him or give him alot of trouble he seems to make an excuse not to fight them.
roy jones beat a great james toney and a washed up fighter in triandad , father time hopkins at the end will have a better career due to longtivity , jones should have retired when he was like 46-0 but he wanted to go into the weak heavyweight divison which had a lot of money spreaded out due to tyson going sour and leaving the divison in shumbles. mayweather is the champion he is 44-0 and top of that hes fought better oppents then pacman did and thats the bottom line. also why should a guy who is 44-0 and has been a champion for the decade be told who to fight when he as the power to make his own decisons . all im saying is mayweather beat a prime gatti in five rounds, a champion judah in a big decsion in 2005, the list goes on
David is right. Mayweather started his career at 130 and is now almost fighting 20 lbs over what his comfort level is. He even campaigned at 154 against DLH.
The premise of your question is incorrect. Not only has he moved up, he pretty much has fought all there is to fight, short of Manny and Margarito.
... Floyd started off as a little man, fought in the Olympics, and started his career as a Super Featherweight, and moved all the way up to Welterweight. He moved up in weight to Light Middleweight twice. You're basically saying you want him to keep going up in weight until he loses. That's ridiculous. As great as he may be, he is only a man and you can't expect him to go from 126 lbs all the way up to 160 lbs. or 168lbs since some people like to mention Andre Ward. He is 36 years old and he is a natural Welterweight.
Mayweather has fought them all. He fought guys who are bigger, stronger, and faster. He has fought southpaws. He has fought boxers and brawlers.
Now he is fighting younger fighters because he is now the old man. If he were to go up to Middleweight and beat Sergio Martinez he would get no credit for it because desite the fact that he would be moving up 2 weight classes at 36 or 37 years old to fight a much bigger fighter, Martinez is getting old so he would be criticized for fighting Martinez. Lose-Lose situation.
Pacquiao beat Margarito and Mayweather beat Cotto. Difference is that Cotto is far better than Margarito. He also didn't ask Cotto to come down in weight, he went up to meet him at his. Margarito is a standing target for someone like Pacquiao because he is flat footed and has no boxing skills. He also went up to fight De La Hoya at his natural weight. he didn't fight him while he was weight drained at 147 lbs.
He fought Victor Ortiz who looked like a truck compared to Mayweather who looked like a small car. he beat him. Now Saul Alvarez is being considered for his next opponent and he is bigger than Ortiz.
He has done it plenty of times. You're just a hater or not a boxing fan.
to all floyd nuthuggers...
AINT FLOYD 1" INCH TALLER THAN ALVAREZ????
DIDNT HE BEAT COTTO @ 154 who is also as small as canelo @ 5'7?
now he cries WEIGHT?
after he cried PEDs to a much smaller pac
accept the fact, floyd cries a lot if he doesnt want to fight
Thought you already know that the boy is a psychological coward. So that's not gonna happen.
to ensure his undefeated record.. Floyd will not fight a good challenger..
no one can give Floyd Mayweather Jr. a challenging fight..
because Floyd will duck it and wimps out...
WATZ WROWNG WITH YA DAWG! IF FLOYD FOUGHT A TOUGH OPPONENT THEN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BEATEN BY KOSTYA TSZYU ALERADY!
floyds a coward
Simply put if mayweather jr moved up in weight would he dominate as he is doing now, Roy jones jr became heavy weight champion of the world and started out as middle weight, took on heavy blows and kept fighting, If mayweather fought serigo maritnez now the middle weight champion would he win, the whole weight class is silly, many times different fighters from different weight classes fought and won, pacquiao beat maragito who was severly bigger than he was and he did it with ease, bruce lee fought men twice his size as well as maritial artist and won, soo if other people done it why cant he, every thought about that.
