To many people willing to give Floyd credit for fights he never fought simply because they think he would have won anyway.

Hearns
Leonard
Robinson
Benitez
Armstrong
Pryor
Just off the bat by no means a complete list a lot more names could be added all have better resumes all would beat Floyd imo.

Its not about giving Mayweather credit for what he hasn't done, it's about giving him credit for what he has done. Regardless of who he hasn't fought, he's proven himself to be arguably the best fighter in the last 20 years or so.

floyd's 2nd best win? castillo. somebody who is definitely not going to make it in the HOF.
floyd's 3d best win? shane mosley? admitted cheater shane mosley who shouldnt be in the hall of fame or pac's left overs miguel cotto.
How much is that greatness really worth in comparison to other ATG fighters?
