    “There are a few more guys I have to beat in my era for people to say that Floyd Mayweather was the best. There's no doubt that they are going to say that when I've beaten the guys I've got to beat.”

    He's saying he DOES have to do more to be considered the best.:deal

    We know that there will ALWAYS be another fighter he didn't face though, right? He can't win for los'n.:dead

    There is always another fighter he didn't face until he loses. If he ever loses people will stop hating.

    But most fighters we view as the greats of all time have been through adversity. Thats the main thing he is missing.

    Tell Floyd to keep this in mind. When Henry Armstrong won the Featherweight Title, he skipped over to Welterweight and won that too. In essence , Floyd is doing the opposite. Henry Armstrong is remembered almost 70 years later because he went for the seemingly impossibel and succeded. Lets see what everybody says about Floyd picking on the little guys in 2079.

    Floyd started at 130 and won titles clean up to 154.

    How is he doing the opposite...FOOL..?

    He already jumped up to 154, so that makes no sense. Picking on little guys? He's out-weighed 99% of the time, so that just doesn't fly man. He has more than just 1 or 2 fights you know?

    I can just hear him say it now, "Morales was always a hell of a fighter, I never got a chance to meet him earlier in my career and he says he wants to come back and fight Floyd Money May, so I am all about it he is from My era, and America is all about living out your dreams so why not make the fight happen" :hey

    O ****, I would love to see PBF back those statements up. Good for boxing, good for his legacy, just good in general.

    I think he will. I think he always has what he's talking about, lingering in his mind somewhere.

    Floyd's resume shites all over PAc's. Pac is the one who has hardly any prime fighters who were capable on his resume.
