Why does Mayweather have an obsession with old fighters?

What is it with this guy? FFS, what is going on in his brain? How come almost every top level fighter he fights has to be old, bloated in weight, or just old as ****?

He shouldn't have been so afraid. Because he was always afraid he's not nearly as great as he could have been. He let fear dominate him. Instead of overcoming fear he just let it take over.

An important greatness criteria of a fighter is overcoming fear. The problem with Mayweather is he let fear take over his career. Instead of challenging guys in their prime he let his fear take over.

 

When I think of greatness I think of somebody like Tommy Hearns. He was like the ultimate representation of being a badass. He didn't give a **** about weight class. He didn't give a **** about age. He didn't give a **** about how good you were.

All he did was give it all he had and try to literally destroy people and leave them in his wake of destruction.

 

Would have loved to see him with Porter, Thurman or Brook, but nah. He didn't want it.

Why did he have to be afraid?

 

Just because you're old doesn't mean you should avoid prime fighters like Mayweather did.

If you don't want none of the best young and hungry fighters then retire. If you start telling me it doesn't matter because Floyd is also old then he should retire. Just quit, because it matters.

 

Who the **** knows! Give the young, hungry, natural Welterweights a shot at Welterweight boxing!

 

Why should it be in the classic thread?
