I agree with this article until further notice. Meaning until we hear from the MAYWEATHER camp. One thing I do disagree with is calling MAYWEATHER an ALL-TIME GREAT. Based on what? He's a HALL OF FAMER but ALL-TIME GREAT is a little far fetched in my opinion. I mean, you have to take risks to be great. MAYWEATHER has done everything except that so I don't mention him with the LEONARDS, ALIS, DURANS, HAGLERS, HEARNS, HOLYFIELDS, CHAVEZS.......you guys get where I'm going. This guy is scared to death of losing! I can't think of any other reason he would duck an era full of quality opposition. It's not like when TYSON was heavyweight champ or HOLMES for 8yrs. and didn't have anyone to dance with. There are plenty of fighters that would make him an ALL-TIME GREAT if he'd be willing to take the risk. WILLIAMS, BERTO, COTTO, MARTINEZ at 154, PACQUIAO of course, CLOTTEY, MARGACHEETO, BUT HE NEVER WILL. Sorry L.F. GOOD read other than that.
P.S. If anyone is an ALL-TIME great It's MANNY PACQUIAO. The fact that he'll fight anybody, the amount of blood, sweat, and tears he's shed in his career, His learning curve over the last 4years, and his resume'. This guy doesn't have to fight anymore, yet he still insists on matching his PRIDE and SKILLS and competitve nature against the biggest and baddest fighter he can find. That's how you become great. He fights for respect, pride, competition, and LEGACY before he even thinks about how much money he's going to make on a fight. PAUL WILLIAMS, ANDRE BERTO, TIMOTHY BRADLEY, MIGUEL COTTO, SERGIO MARTINEZ, ANDRE WARD, are a few more who'll fight anybody, any time, any place.
