A rival. Mayweather has had a few tough fights, but no one that has given him all that he can handle and then some.
Ali had Frazier
SRR had Jake LaMotta
SRL had Hearn(or Duran, however you see it)
even Pacquiao has JMM.
I guess that's why very few give him the credit he is due, because he hasn't been forced to rise above an evenly matched opponent, wouldn't say it's his fault, just not anyone that can step to his skill & conditioning.
