    This is mostly for the Mayweather skeptics.

    Now that he has gone 12 rounds and shaken off any possible ring rust, what is the least Floyd must do from here, for you to easily consider him the greatest fighter of his era?

    Poll to follow..

    He's already arguably the best of his era. But to leave no doubt whatsoever?

    It's clearly between him and Pac so he really only needs to beat him.

    A victory over a top WW like Mosley would be really nice though!!

    if floyd were to fight all the fighters named above on the same night with one arm tied behind his back, there would still be people out there that criticize him for something. the dude just can't win, its as simple as that..

    You're either Filipino or joking.

    At least fight Mosley & the Pac/Cotto winner!!

    I think he will fight them fights as well, why else would he come back to the sport!! Hes all about the Money, and the big fights.

    He's said in recent Interviews he wants to achieve greatness as well.. Like he knows theres certain fighters he needs to take care off.

    Whats he going to do, i doubt he'll just retire again in fear. When you listen to why he quit he makes sense, boxing since 1987 non stop, like 21 years with no rest...

    He's probably had two years to grow up as a person, now coming back stronger.

    Pac-Cotto winner and SSM. Then he can't be criticized anymore.

    when cotto beats pac, if mayweather fights cotto and beats him which i doubt..but then still goes on and beats shane of course he would be considered the best.. but he wont fight two people that have a chance at beating him, let alone one

    Drop the midget here. Just because he is P4P #1 does not mean he really belongs to the WW. Props to Pac for wanting to mix it up there tho, no disrespect.

    All I want to see PBF get it on with is with Shane. Nobody disputes his skills and how good he is, he just need to prove it against a real A-level welter challenger, and please do not wait too long for Shane to grow greys.

    For those who voted that Floyd will never be the greatest of this era no matter what he does....you just exposed yourself. You hate on Floyd no matter what. You give him no credit no matter what....and you will continue to give him no credit no matter what. That's ignorant. He's undefeated and usually wins flawlessly. He's probably the best of our era as it stands.

    Pac/Cotto winnner and Mosley. At least one of them.

    Others:

    -Margarito: Fraud and cheater.
    -Williams: He's fighting at 160, it would be great if PBF beat him but not neccessary.
    -Clottey: Meh.
    -Berto: Meh.
