Who is greater Floyd mayweather or Eric Morales?

This is an insult to Mayweather actually. In terms of who would win a fight between the two, Mayweather would have dominated Morales. They fought at different weights all the time though.
Morales top fights:
Barrera (1 win, 2 losses)
Pacquiao (1 win, 2 losses)
C. Hernandez (Win)
J. Chavez (Win)
Raheem (Loss)
D. Diaz (Loss)
Maidana (Loss)
After 2005, I don't think Morales was prime anymore. Therefore, his losses to Pacquiao, Raheem, Diaz, and Maidana, he wasn't in his prime. But, in his prime he only really beat Barrera once, than lost to him twice, Pacquiao once, than beat Hernandez and Chavez (who Mayweather already beat before him). I think Morales should have retired after the 2nd Pacquiao loss or the Diaz loss. He's over stayed his welcome in boxing, and he's still an all-time great, but he would have been greater if he'd retired sooner.
Mayweather top fights:
G. Hernandez (win)
Corrales (win)
C. Hernandez (win)
J. Chavez (win)
Castillo (2 wins)
Judah (win)
De La Hoya (win)
Hatton (win)
Marquez (win)
Mosley (win)
Ortiz (win)
Granted, De La Hoya and Mosley were past their primes, Floyd wasn't in his prime when he fought Mosley though. Floyd hasn't been prime since the Hatton fight in 07'. But, in his prime he has wins over Genaro Hernandez, Angel Manfredy, Diego Corrales, Carlos Hernandez, Jesus Chavez, Jose Luis Castillo, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Oscar De La Hoya, and Ricky Hatton. I just think he's done much more in his career than Morales did. Also, Mayweather has NEVER lost, let alone 4 times in a row.
All biasedness aside, it boggles me that you're red and poster's like Junior Gong are green. At least you attempt to talk with numbers, logic and facts.
While you got Junior Gong repeating "bumsniff" all day.
I just don't understand it.Comment

Just cause Morales took more chances and has fought at less then a 100% doesnt make him a greater fighter, it may make him a tuffer fighter but not a better fighter. I like both fighters and hav njoyed watching both fighters fight but in terms of greatness they are both great IMO! Both have had great fights in there career.I think where mayweather suffers is that he has never took a risk.
Floyds has ducked and taken too long breaks to be considered in a FIGTHERS ie Morales class.
Not taken enough risks in his career to be considered as good as Morales. Too much home comforts, ref help, choice of weights and too methodical. I bet Morales has fought when hes not 100%.
Floyd wouldnt ever! Floyd rarely fights, and just makes sure hes 100% on fight night.Comment

Floyd takes long breaks, but i bet you he decides who he wants to fight long before he makes his comeback. Against JMM for instance i bet Floyd trained for that fight for 2 years.
He watched like a fan Pac and JMM go at it, while sitting on the sidelines and always had JMM in mind to try beating him better than Pac did.
This is what i mean by methodical. A pro fighter takes each fight as it comes and trains accordingly. Floyd plans his fights and opponents with military precision.Comment

The answer is Mayweather, but don't sell Morales short.Comment
