    Name some of the fighters that FM could have realistically fought during his career & if he would win against them.

    2009 or 2010 Pacquiao- both at the peak of their powers. I think Mayweather would have won and this truly would have been a once in a lifetime, legacy fight. When they did fight, they were both past their peaks and Mayweather doesn't get the same credit he would have got if he had beaten Pacquiao in 2009 or 2010.

    There’s no money and nothing worth considering there either. Giving a free payday to a farce that has literally zero notable victories isn’t something worth coming back for.

    Mayweather didn't "miss opportunities".. he avoided them.

    Maybe he could have fought Margarato but it wouldn't have mattered. He beat Mosley > Margaroto so it doesn't matter. Mayweather =would simply have been to hi-tech and advanced for Margarito.

    The real one he did miss out on who was at a hi-tec level was Paul Williams. I think Williams moved up and then he fought Martinez who is also very advanced and hi-tech.
