You guys won't let us forget about Mayweather. You start 10 threads a day on the man and he doesn't even have a fight on the books. Nobodies talking about Pacquiao right now.

So, now all the sudden Canelo wasn't a worthy and exciting fighter? Ok
- Hatton was one of the hottest names in boxing with a vicious and exciting-style coming into the Mayweather fight. he was a top 3 P4P after beating Kostya Tszyu. Put what we know of him NOW aside, and think of his status at the time Mayweather took the fight.
-Zab Judah has always been a very exciting fighter, and that fight was actually pretty dam entertaining. Was he a top P4P fighter? No, but was he an "exciting fighter" which is what this OP is complaining about? Absolutely
-Marquez is a Hall of Famer who is known for putting some of the most exciting fights ever seen on the mat.. Just because he wasn't "exciting" the night Mayweather fought him, doesn't and shouldn't be a knock on Floyd.
-Sugar Shane was an exciting fighter even at his old age. He dismantled Margarito and was a top challenger and contender in the division at the time of the fight.
-Miguel Cotto has always been an exciting fighter and was also coming off of one of his biggest victories in a long time by getting the monkey off his back that was the plaster-gloved Margarito.
-Diego Corrales!?!? Yea, that fight was a long time ago, but are we going to act like Corrales wasn't one of the most dominating fighters in all of boxing at the time Mayweather made him look like an amateur?
And, wait, here's what happens next, let's say Mayweather does choose an "exciting fighter" next...What are the names and the excuses/complaints that follow? Here we go:
Khan- "glass jaw, not worthy"
Garcia- "Still green, not ready"
Provodnikov- "Too slow"
Bradley- "overrated, not worthy"
GGG- "too drained, mayweather should've ballooned 20 lbs to fight him"
Martinez-"Too old; washed up"
The above would be all excuses and whiny rants that people would pout over Mayweather. no matter what the dude does, certain folks will never be satisfied. IMO, he's fought exciting fighters. Are there fighters that I wish he would've fought that he didn't? Absolutely, but let's not act like he's the only one responsible for these fights not happening. Furthermore, let's not erase the legitimacy of his past opponents that fell.

How would people feel about :
Floyd vs Bradley
Floyd vs Provodnikov
Floyd vs Garcia
Those are the top 3 fights I'd like to see Floyd take
