    He has fought the best of his era. Zu was good but when ppl look back, was he one of the best of this era?? Was anybody really begging for Mayweather-ZU (Not one at all) So he's irrelvant

    Only a dim witted Murican could claim KT was irrelevant. Perhaps Uncle Roger warned the pretty one off Tszyu.

    No other time when the p4p number 1 and the p4p number 2 have been in and around the same weight class has the fight not, or taken this long, to happen

    He also ducked the Oscar rematch, Paul Williams and Pac. I don't think Floyd has ever dared take a fight where he wasn't the HEAVY favorite.

    He has. People just clutching at straws. IMO he clearly avoided Margo & Pac. Tyszu was more circumstances than anything. Cant expect him to fight PW, PW should be fighting at MW, same as Martinez. Other than that, he's fought everyone.

    I think the fact that he fought Baldo over Toni when Toni was calling him out for years and at the time, people saw him as the biggest threat to Mayweather started the whole ducking thing. Then there was Pac.

    and thats when its a bunch of ****! would you fight just a TITLE holder like Margarito the fight THE champ in Balmdior?? Thats like saying you want to fight Lee over Cotto. could Lee be a good fight (Margarito) maybe but do you want to be another title holder or be The Champ (Cotto,Baldmior)

    Floyd Mayweather has consistently fought top names during his whole career. And he's beaten them.

    But to some, it doesn't count, because he wasn't able to fight all the best, or he didn't catch each and every one at the evening when they reached their absoloute peak :nut

    Void has not fought Pac. Void has also refused to defend his 154 lb. titles, refused to fight Martinez at 154, refused to fight Golovkin at 154, if he has those titles he should defend them. Void also refused to fight Paul Williams and Margarito.................Oscar beat Void, but Void's judges gave Void a split decision.

    Three of Floyds biggest wins were against Hatton , JMM and the Canelo and these fighters were marginalized due to either having to move up in weight or having to cut weight, other than this fights against Guerrero , Ortiz and Maidana dont really do it for me.

    One of his best ever wins is the fat, undisciplined alcoholic, chancer Ricky Hatton. that should tell you everything you need to know about mayweather.

    Imagine if one of Muhammad Ali's greatest wins was considered to be his over Chuck Wepner?
