I will give him greatness of his era but look at some of the others who have greatness of all time titles. Uh I can only think of a few Ali, Chavez, Sugar ray Robinson , Sugar Ray Lenoard...they all some horrific fights with very formidable oppenents and didn't have to win each fight but showed they had the strength and courage to push on. Who has Floyd fought to really test his Strength , courage or fortitude....Answer Oscar at what 35? he doesn't even want that rematch.....If he wants to truely secure his legacy he needs to fight a big battle and get tested...He didn't get that from the smaller Hatton, or from oscar because he refused to exchange in both fights he held and ran. He Ko'd hatton I will give you that but Hatton came to him. He hit Oscar celanly but he couldn't score a knock down and just skated away by the skin of his teeth. If he wanted to retire with his legacy he should had a plan for his last few fights. My plan would have been tune up maybe a fight with Quintana after he beat Williams? the Oscar and Cotto if he wanted to go out with a **** Clottey or Margarito...Marg would be the big one at the end. that would have cleaned up the welter Weight Division in my eyes and secured his legacy. A fight with Williams would be much like the fight between him and Hatton maybe competitive but in my opinon Williams is not a true welter weight he is a freak of nature

U got to equate for the time as well, all the greats had to keep fighting, Floyd don't need the $$$ like they did for him to cont. also mentioned he hasn't been tested, who can test him? U really think Margarito could?....maybe he is just too good to be tested. he has fought great comepetition, hernandez is alegend and 1 of the greatest LW ever. Corrales was never the same after Floyd. Gatti was supposed to break him with power shots. Zab had the speed, Hatton had the angles and relentlessness, Baldomir was the biggest and strongest, and Oscar had the ring size, the weight, the gloves, and the $$$. if those aren't test what are they?
Talk is cheap.
Your parents should have taught you that.
ll of your excuses will get shoved back to your idiot mouth because Gayweather admitted he's a coward and he *****-retired.
So in the future have a little common sense will ya?
Oh wait. Im sure you won't.
You're a hopeless case.
Like every idiot Fake Floyd fan.

Max was 100% right and if you can't see it you are blind.
Mayweather is a great fighter, I have always said that. BUT...he also left the division with too many names out there. Cotto, Margarito, Paul Williams, Clottey. In order to be the best, you have to beat the best. Mayweather didn't do that.
I love Max Kellerman because he always tells it like it is and this is no difference. Mayweather will be considered a great fighter but won't be up there with the greatest of all time because he failed to beat everyone who was a threat.
Mayweather could be considered one of the greatest fighters to lace up gloves if he beats the best in the division but if he stays retired, he will only be remembered as a great fighter that retired when the best were still out there.

someone in his position needed to call him out for a change.....i like Mayweather, one of my favorite fighters ever, but i dont like the opposition he's picked at times.
i'd love to see him face Antonio
Why put it all on Floyd
Tony could have EASILLY fought Mayweather
ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS CANCEL THE MANUEL GOMEZ FIGHT....THAT'S ALL!
And he (Y'all) blames Floyd?..lol
Cotto never expressed interest in Floyd at 140 or 147..and whenever Kellerman or Merchant asked him HE DUCKED THE QUESTION by saying he leaves his opponents to his handlers..(Tony pulled the same gay-ass **** after the Cotto fight)
Cotto and Tony never said the word Mayweather...
They talk mean **** to latino ****zines...but when it's an HBO post-fight interview THEY FORGET THE WORD MAYWEATHER..!
