    His fights with miadana prove little but to tell us hes at the end of the road. Struggling with midana is a big ? In my eyes. If he struggles with him how would a duran or a pryor even chavez do? I think he would have a hard time beating them.

    Just look at what Duran did at 37 against Barkely !


    Duran is cut from a diffrent cloth a cloth of iron meanwhile Floyd is cut from cotton or silk !

    They have different style, and floyd has hands problems which force him to take xylocaine and doesn't allow him to have power like he used to at 135

    How would Duran, Pryor, or Chavez do against him? He's 37, he's lost a step. It's obvious he's passed his prime.

    You'd have to assume he wouldn't be 37 when he fought those guys you mentioned.

    I think Pryor would be a dam good fight, but once again it would be against a prime version of Mayweather.

    You can say what you want but anybody that watched him from 130-140 knows he's a VERY hard H2H matchup for anyone in those 3 divisions. At the lower weights he might be one of the greatest and skilled 2 way fighters ever.

    He has a strong claim already as the greatest SFW in the history of the sport. At 130-140, I think he does fairly well against all those guys except for Duran.

    even if he was technically, wich he isn't, there's so many factors that prevent him from taking that place in history.

    - lack of activity
    - avoiding fights
    - lack of coverage (who the hell actually knows the man worldwide?)
    - lack of courage
    - his fights are broadcasted in color :D
    - lack of charisma
