The reason it had no substance was because Floyd knew Hamed was tied up, due to HBO trying to put together a Morales, Barrera, Tapia and other fights for the Prince.
This is why I used the analogy of Bute calling out a super 6 guy. You honestly think that by him saying he wants Dirrell or Ward, when he knows the company has plans for him with other fighters (super 6 tourney) would hold any weight?
Also to add to that..he wanted Hamed to come up to 130 (rumored 128), but how you gonna call out the cash cow and try to make him fight at a weight he is arguable too small for (Hamed was only 5'3" or 5'4" and 126 was clearly as high as he could go)
Ok fine as long as you know the truth, I personally cant say there was no substance in it, Mayweather wasnt big back then but he was still making waves and i remember Ian darke (SKY commentator) saying Morales and barrera were more attractive options for Naz and how Mayweather should be avioded.
Obviously Morales and Barrera were bigger then but that doesnt mean Mayweather should call out Hamed especially with both signed to HBO, Been contracted to showtime for the Super 6 is entirely different because Bute is on HBO while those guys are contracted to showtime and all their fights have been set.. Naz wasnt contracted to fight anyone of those guys in Morales or Barrera and he only fought one of them towards the end of his career.
Naz talked about fighting at 130 because he said he wanted to move up after dominating 126 but he just never had the motivation anymore.. Anyway am gone..
