Floyd likes to beat people at their own games..
In Judah, he outflashed the flasher
Oscar, he out boxed the boxer
Hatton, he beat the inside fighter on the inside
Mosley, he out punched the puncher
the same reason he won't fight a volume puncher like williams or margarito, because that's not part of his game.
The same reason he won't fight Pacquiao, because he knows he can't outbrawl him.
If he outboxed the boxer, then he's an incredible boxer. If he beat inside fighter on the inside, then he's incredible on the inside, and so on..
Now if he's the best at all these things, and undefeated, then you can make the claim that he's the greatest of all time, because all you remember are his attributes.
50 years from now, when they match mayweather with the current PFP champ they can say, "oh there's no way pacquiao jr. could have beaten mayweather, he was the best boxer, the best on the inside, his footwork was too good, he was too fast..."
They would say: "He really didn't fight anybody dangerous, but with all those going for him, if he did, he would have won anyway."
