It doesn't bother me all that much, Floyd can fight whoever he wants. But he's the one putting himself on that pedestal as greater than Ali and SRR. Given the profile Pac had in 09/10, that was a golden opportunity to enhance his claim to all time greatness. The sort of opponent that mightn't come along again before Floyd's time is up, hugely popular, very highly rated, and beatable. As Manny Steward used to say, you can't go around talking about being the GOAT when you haven't even fought all the best guys in your era.

In your honest opinion who "scared" Floyd the most?

I consider martines a duck because he is a top 3 p4p fighter who is willing to go to a weight class floyd is supposedly a champion but floyd acts like hes been fighting killer competition since his retirement, when the fact show the contrary.

You dont claim on being the greatest ever and expect everyone to accept it as gospel truth.
The reason i think PACQUIAO gets some pass (yes i think he has share of shady deals) is he isnt talking mad **** of being someone he isnt. Hes fanbase does that for him sometimes though.
