    Mayweather has the best skills to duck a fight. Name another fighter besides Mayweather that has threw more roadblocks for a negotiations to fail.

    1) OST/Random Testing

    2) Retirement

    3) Over pricing himself

    4) He lives too far

    5) not a PPV star... to name a few.

      i would have Meldrick Taylor, Roy Jones Jr., Ali, Leonard,Robinson above him in skill.

      Its just floyd is a fighter not a warrior. He rather sit back and fight then go forward like a warrior. And thats how he wins fights which isn't a bad thing. Just a boring thing.
      THe rest i said are warriors.

          exactly. Kobe has even stated that he copied moves from older supers stars like Oscar Robinson, Dr. J, Jordan, Magic, etc to improve his game and says just to be mentioned with those guys is a blessing. Floyd discredits every other boxer and says the Greats are nothing compared to him.

            Roy Jones was used his athleticism and superior speed.

            Meldrick Taylor was just fast.

            Ali is the greatest of all time and we all know that.

            Leonard and Robinson didn't have the skills Mayweather has.

              Exactly athleticism and superior speed is skills and jones and meldrick has more skills then Floyd with those.

              Leonard and Robinson could do everything floyd could do and what he cant do.

                  Speed and Athleticism are not boxing skills so to say.

                  And what did Robinson and Leonard have to Floyd didn't have?

                    Robinson and Leonard are real warriors while Floyd is Gay. simple as that but great difference.
