Some Snippets that stood out....
...Suppose Mayweather is the real deal? He’s wasted many years not proving it. Therefore his gifts are equivalent to the opponent of that day. Like the version of Shane Mosley he fought and choosing the likes of Victor Ortiz. People that say he’s an exceptional talent are those that purchase cheap suits and mask it with expensive cologne. The verdict is still out on Floyd. For now he’s a carefully maneuvered Bruce Seldon, with a very good jab, good balance and a million dollar smile. The reason Mayweather has never carried boxing like Hagler, Leonard or Oscar De La Hoya is because he’s never accepted top challenges. ...
His shoulder roll defense shouldn’t be compared to James Toney’s [although its similar] because he hasn't tested it against the likes of Vassily Jirov/ Kostya Tszyu or a chiseled Hasim Rahman / Margarito 2006 or a puncher in Sam Peter/Mosley 99’ or 09’.
It’s a shame that Boxrec.com and many other pundits have Mayweather as their second best pound for pound boxer. A boxer who’s missed eleven peers since 1999, a carpet ride that has performed 3 times in four years.
So let’s be specific, how can David Blaine Mayweather be number two on the pound-for-pound list today when he continues to avoid viable challenges? He competes versus a smaller man, cheats in the process while amassing two and a half bouts in four years. The answer is simple – today’s writers are repeating fallacies. We might as well ask middle school 13 year olds to rank boxing divisions with crayons. 
The article linked above clearly demonstrates without bias Floyd Joy Mayweather Junior -- was never pound for pound! (http://www.boxing talk.com/pag/article.php?aid=22736) I am man enough to admit it, secure enough to write about it and intelligent enough to promote it because it’s true.
