He offered Mosley a fight years ago but somebody needed to take time out because they had a poorly tooth and it wasn't Mayweather. He can hardly be blamed for the other guy turning down the fight, watch the end of the Vargas rematch for the explanation coming out of the horses mouth.

As for Margarito and Williams, well they're no better than the Guerreros and Hattons of this world so I don't think they add much or offered any greater risk. It just so happens he didn't fight them as he was busy fighting the divisions top two in Judah and Baldomir, easy to change history to make out certain challenges were considered riskier when they were not.

I have said from the start that he should have fought Pacquiao, Tzuyu and a younger Cotto, that I have no problem with but throwing names like Williams and Margarito out there would be viewed similarly as his actual opposition.

Of the current Lara, Garcia and Bradley are the three fights i'd like to see, as it stands Golovkin and Martinez are non starters. They need to chase him by moving down not the other way round, Leonard didn't chase Pryor nor did Hagler chase McCallum. It's not excusing the Khan fight but no matter who he faces and beats, certain posters on here will suddenly make a U-turn. They will say that Lara struggled against Molina, Angulo and Martirosyan, they will say that Bradley robbed Pacquiao and they will say that Garcia was too small and not that good anyway.

You have two opposing poles, those like Truss and Mobile who will excuse anything he does and turn any win into a great one. Then in contrast you have Catchweight and Haz who say he's fought nobody, cherry picked his whole career and doesn't compare to the bygone eras. Somewhere in the middle you have a fairly accurate truth, I want to see him face Lara and Bradley but when/if he wins I would rather not have to see endless posts making excuses why they weren't any good.

You call that getting back to reality?

Hilarious

What a surprise you have zero input but to act childishly yet again.

Margarito and Williams no tougher than Hatton and Guerrero - good one by the way.

The thread starter having the ability to delete posts that he deemed broke the BBC's rules.  

Truss loved that facility.  Back then he used to start 8 threads a day.
