    Not an opponent or gatekeeper because he is not a B fighter but he is beatable and the elites now will fight him without hesitancy...

                But even though the new kids on the block get a massive name on their resume, people know they didn't beat the prime version. So even though the new kid will be happy they got a massive name and legend on their resume, boxing fans put the win into perspective.

                That's why Terry Norris win over SRL hasn't made Norris an ATG and isn't considered a great great win.
                He fought Canelo when he was unified/ring champ at 154...That was supposed to be the passing of the torch

                    Floyd on the other hand cherry picks after cherry pick. He don't cherry pick and then fight GGG, or even Spence, brook or Thurman.
                    So Manny himself was a cherry pick for Mayweather?

                                yep, not sure why people keep trying to make excuses for Manny that others don't get..Just say Crawford is to young and too good and lets move on

                                    Or so thought wacky conventional wisdom.

                                    PBF = GOAT

                                        I worry that Manny is taking the James Toney route to late retirement....
