    "You know I don't do that, I think Floyd is one of the best fighters of his time and that's all you can really know about a fighter.People have asked me this question a lot and I say,well I think Floyd is the best pure boxer of his time and Pacquiao is the best fighter."

    He's also the most dehydrated fighter in history.

    A ton of boxers can rival Pacquiao as a fighter. Not many for Floyd as a boxer.

    I think that is called damning with faint praise

    No one doubts Mayweather's God Given boxing skills BUT Its a pity he wasn't given a set of champions cojones. If he had then maybe he would have made an ATG. Instead it looks suspicially like he's had to cheat all along thus tarnishing all accomplishments
    Manny Pacquaio >>>>>>>>>>>> Floyd Mayweather

    I wish Larry was 50 years younger, he'd kick Floyds ass.

    Larry was exactly right All Mayweather showed was what a coward he is. He fired off at an unprotected opponent. Also blame Joe Cortez he NEVER signaled box on after warning Ortiz & therefore should have DQ'd Mayweather. Just one more example of how the Vegas corruption protected Mayweather
