Why did Mayweather fans say their boy was the best but didnt have to fight the best?

[BearGrylls]

They called him the best fighter in the world but said he didn't have to fight the best. They said hes the best welterweight but say he shouldn't fight true welterweights because those are mismatches.

This should be fun. LOL

Floyd could have, Floyd would have ... but Floyd never. That seems to be the Floyd-groupie mantra, which is a shame, because technically he's so gifted.

Isn't it always

He only avoided the best at 140 and 147 when he was looking for risk Vs reward money to retire.

To say he didn't fight the best at 130 and 135 is pretty ignorant.

Who did he avoid at 140?

Floyd is probably the most highly skilled fighter of our time, but without putting those skills to the test against the absolute best/stiffest comp out there, then it proves nothing. Hypothetical matchups and wins dont count in this sport. Getting in the ring, and leaving no questions unanswered about who's the best is what Floyd should've done.

b\c he is so good he can let his mouth do the fighting for him.

"shane just a sparing partner"

"who is margarito"

"he a nobody"

the list goes on

That is absolute genius!
