Simple.
Its because Floyd is the measuring stick for every other boxer competing.
When JMM knocked out Pacquiao, no one said "Oh man JMM is better than Martinez". No one mentioned Andre Ward. No one mentioned either Klitschko or even BHOP.
Every time someone demonstrates any measure of elite talent or does something impressive and worthy of note, the ONLY person that any fan compares them to is Floyd Mayweather.
Adrien Broner? Everyone mentions Floyd.
JMM KO's Pacquiao? Immediately Floyd's name is involved.
Rigo schools Donaire? Floyd's name comes up.
Sergio narrowly escapes Chavez jr? Floyd is brought up.
That's just an observation, but its true nonetheless.
