Someone please explain to me why the person who created this vid decided to go with "Moonlight Sonata" as the music? Don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorite classical songs but wtf?

I think its funny talking about the relative 'greatness' of fighters opponents. I look at Mayweather's list of opposition and undoubtedly I see a list if names that are some way short of being greats of boxing. I wonder sometimes though if we go too far with this, a boxer has to fight the fighters of his era and Mayweather fought most of those who were perceived to be the best at the time. I think this is just how boxing is, short term reputations can barely survive a single defeat, but when boxers are actually boxing short term reputations are all there really is.

Like him or not, he is a damn good fighter. People who don't respect his talent are clueless.
