Floyd and Shane need to fight this can't wait any longer. Shame on both of them for not making this fight happen already. They both want to play the blame game instead they should just make it happen.

Since most of you have only known about mayweather the last couple of years and most of you basically only get to hear how overrated he is and how he doesnt fight anyone, at the time, floyd mayweather was sort of a prodigy of sorts.
One person already started talking about a "faded" hernandez but in reality he was undefeated at that weight in particular, and was a seasoned champ at that point. Mayweather was basically thought of as being rushed into that fight and it could potentially ruin him because many thought he wasnt ready.
it wasnt just the fact that he won but the way he won. Mayweather basically started taking all comers with just 2 years under his belt.
Think about the most recent pros we have had, or the ones at the top now, how many of them can say within 2-3 years within starting their careers, they have had a legit title run in dominant fashion?
thats why mayweather was ranked number 2 at that time because his run was amazing considering how young he was.
Anyone who wasnt taking the sport serious at that time isnt going to know about all that because he didint get the attention at that time.
