If floyd didn't retire instead he fights and beat cotto and margarito...

[Phenom]

Floyd was neck and neck with Pac for FOTD even without those fights. If Floyd took Cotto's 0 though I think the ducking thing would have stopped long ago.

No he still would have ducked the undefeated Hatton and Margarito probably Williams too and ofcourse Clottey

[-Kev-]

Stop mentioning Cotto and Margarito god damn it. They are okay fighters and that's it. They are not great, they are not Hall of Famers, they are not ATG's. They were never, at any point of their career, gonna beat Floyd. Floyd was not gonna fight them over Hatton and De La Hoya because of promotional differences and financial reasons. Just deal with it.

this ****ing doughnut ..........

floyd whoops both anytime

bob arum wouldnt make the fights simply as that,just like now with manny

You should know what you're talking about if you're going to make assertions. Mayweather explicitly said that he didn't want to fight Margarito and Cotto "lived too far away".

Cotto in 2007 UD's Mayweather, Margarito in 06 probably loses to Mayweather unless May can't deal with the height and size yet.

Cotto in 2007 was a hell of a fighter

The Cotto win by itself probably would've been enough to edge out Pac. I do find it a bit odd that Floyd was willing to fight Mosley if he beat Cotto, but after Miguel won, Floyd "retired."

Also, had Floyd been the one to take Cotto's 0 instead of Margarito, there wouldn't have been a need to fight Tony, as he had recently lost to Williams (before the Cotto win put him back on the map.)

Mayweather still has a very good resume and he hasn't lost that many rounds in his career. Yes it could've been a bit better, but then it's probably not over yet either.

floyd will need to have a heart and balls transplant......................lol

[bMak]

Lol @ everyone who still believes Floyd was "ducking" fighters to "protect his 0."

Media propaganda- bought hook, line and sinker. Even funnier- Cotto and Margarito were the guys to beat him.

Just don't complain when Bob Arum blocks the Pacquiao fight again, and Floyd instead chops Miguel Cotto down. After Cotto stops Margarito within the next hour of course.

FYI- Yahoo named Floyd their Fighter of the Decade.

LOL.....*****s " yahoo >>>>BWAA.............what a bunch of ignorant fools............

[bMak]

That's all subjective. Just like you using the word ***** to describe any boxing fan that observes Floyd Mayweather with a rational mind. You choose ignorance, with all due respect.

What makes you choose the sides you choose and believe what you believe anyway, if I may ask? Please explain to me, in your own words, what gives the BWAA credibility. Keep in mind, I'm not saying whether or not they should hold credence, and 'because it's tradition/sounds good/everyone else says so' is not a legitimate answer.
