Mosley tried fighting Pac after Margarito and even went to Wild Card gym and offered Roach a 142lb catchweight. Roach refused.
Pac would later fight Mosley - years later - after he lost to Floyd and had a draw with a journeyman at 154.
Pac fought DLH after Floyd won and DLH had his orbital bone broken by a literal journeyman in Steve Forbes - how do you have your face broken by a fighter like that? Pac also got DLH to drain himself and actually weighed MORE than DLH on fight night. Insane.
Cotto was a good win (not great) for Pac. Cotto was coming off his first 2 losses as a pro and the first loss was a devastating TKO. Cotto also had a new trainer and the fight was held at a catchweight.
Floyd fought Cotto after he put together good wins at 154, with a highly experienced trainer, at Cottos preferred weight.
Floyd never robbed JMM, that was Manny that robbed JMM.
Floyd beat undefeated Ricky Hatton while Manny beat a shot Hatton who was getting hurt in every tune-up fight since the Floyd bout.
