8 world titles in 8 divisions and scaring Mayweather to duck him for six years is Goatness. Floyd only fought Pac because the head of CBS Showtime forced him into it. Otherwise Floyd intended to duck Pac forever.
1. why Manny turned down $40 mil no PPV offer?
2. why he allowed Arum’s son in law to give him fake stitches only after Nevada extended Floyd’s jail start date so they could fight?

It was Floyd who made the call, claiming he was wiring 20 million up front. Nobody is believing that flim flam artist, including Manny. I could only imagine how that conversation went
Hey Manny I am going to wire you 20 million dollars

Floyd is definitely great, but compared to others (like Sugar Ray Leonard), he lacks victories against other great fighters who were:
1) in their prime, and
2) in their best weight class.

Mayweather is probably the best technical, defensive and pure boxer (i.e. art of hitting without getting hit) that ever lived. However, the reason I DON'T consider him the GOAT is because almost all of the biggest names on his CV had suffered multiple losses when they fought e.g. Judah (3 losses), ODH (4 losses), JMM (4 losses), Mosley (5 losses), Cotto (2 losses), Maidana (3 losses), Pacman (5 losses) etc. The list is endless. Therefore, who has he really beaten in their prime bar Hatton? Who's cherry has he POPPED?
That coupled with the fact that he was the Vegas cash cow for most of his career so his record was always protected with 'losses' & 'knockdowns' NOT counted against him (in addition to the favourable matchmaking above) is why he cannot be considered the GOAT.
