Where Do You Rank Mayweather's All-Time?

Forget the numbers, think about it, how many fighters have we seen that are more skilled than mayweather?
Seriously now.
Thats what it comes down to, in terms of resume, no floyd is not the greatest.
But when you talk about skill............
Put it this way, in this era of boxing, say the last 15 years, who in the entire sport was a better or more skilled fighter than Floyd Mayweather Jr? i dont believe there are many names.
Thats why he is rated, not just by fans, but by BOXERS too.
Considering that some people on here have named far less skilled fighters with worse resumes as 'legends' (you know who im talking about), I dont see what the problem is.
All this **** about him being afraid of these real welterweights is bollocks too, how many of these 'real welterweights' (which is hilarious seeing as a few of the top ones come into the ring at middleweight) started at 130 and moved up to 154?
How many fighters won titles in 5 different weight classes by age 30 years old?
It really doesnt have to be contraversial, he is accepted by many as the best of his era (even including roy jones), so by rights if you are one of the greatest of your era, why is it such a big deal he is considered an all time great.Comment

Well there was this one guy that started at 130 and moved all the way up to 154. That fought better opposition. That won titles in 5 different weight classes by age 28 and in a 6th division by age 31. And no, beating this guy once, twice, even 10 times when way past his prime isn't going to make Floyd top 10 or even top 20 GOAT. Before the Hatton fight, most people had him in the high 40's, so it seems ridiculous for him to crack the 30s yet.Forget the numbers, think about it, how many fighters have we seen that are more skilled than mayweather?
