    Because Floyd calls himself the best the haters, like yourself, want to hold him to an unbelievable standard just so you can discredit him.
    how do you know ali was hated on???? if internet and social media was around back then, ali prolly would be hated on more than floyd!

    and hater like myself? all i did was pointed out that when you call yourself TBE, then expect to get some heat if you choose to fight an opponent that is not worthy enough. im a hater for this?

          You are beating a dead horse. Mayweather never ducked Khan. Khan did nothing at welterweight to be the number 1 challenger for Mayweather. If Mayweather had fought him Khan would have been a huge underdog. Khan did nothing at welterweight to make Pacquiao or Mayweather fear him. He was only fighting about once a year against guys who were not in the top 10. After Canelo smashed him he took two years off. Now his big comeback fight is yet another cherry pick who boxrec ranks number 99 in the world. Khan had some good wins when Roach trained him. He is never again going to be this great champion you want him to be. Let him avenge losses to Garcia, Peterson or even Prescott if he can. His prime is gone and his heart is no longer in boxing or he would have been back in the ring much earlier against a better opponent.

            Why does it bother you so much that he calls himself TBE?

              Same old crap: everyone he beat suddenly became a cherrypick. Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

                Floyd “Money” Mayweather has for years insisted he is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, insisting he is the most gifted pugilist since Sugar Ray Leonard, no less.

                Although Mayweather is unbeaten in 47 bouts and is clearly better than all peers and firm favorite to outpoint Manny Pacquiao when they finally meet in Las Vegas on May 2, the brash American is way short of surpassing Leonard’s achievements.

                Even though Mayweather has won world titles from super-feather to light-middle and earned more than any other fighter in the sport’s history – at least $500 million – his lasting legacy will be that of a master manipulator rather than a legendary fighter.

                That’s because the 38-year-old champ has always cherry-picked his opponents when it best suited him – and never fought outside his comfort zone, always taking on fighters he was assured of beating. His slippery, defensive style is not entertaining. The clash with Pacquiao will generate plenty of interest beyond boxing circles, but the bout itself is likely to be an anti-climax, with Pacquiao chasing shadows most of the time as Money picks him off on the back foot.

                Leonard, a natural welterweight, went up to light-heavy just to prove he could win a world title at that level. He also took on the fearsome Marvin Hagler at middleweight and controversially won.

                Jacques Scott
                There were, of course, the classic fights with Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, Wilfredo Benitez, et al., mostly wins. Losing was never a fear for Leonard, he just relished the challenge of taking on the best.

                Mayweather is now calling himself TBE: The Best Ever. Not so by a long shot.

                He might be the greatest fighter of his generation, but even if he beats Pacquiao to unify the welterweight titles, Sugar Ray Robinson’s achievements remain the apogee any boxer must surpass to claim the mantle of the sport’s most gifted.

                Robinson’s record speaks for itself. He fought over 200 times, well into his 40s and his overall win and knockout record eclipses every fighter’s at any weight.

                Leonard’s record is not far behind, and a host of other throwback welterweights, including Emile Griffith, Henry Armstrong and Barney Ross, would have beaten Mayweather.
                Robinson fought a 100 bums, idiots like you recite numbers you never analyze the numbers.

                And what makes it even worse behind it all is your own character flaws hating on somebody you will never know , do even realize how on so many levels as human that is fked, the problem is with you kid you need to understand whats real in this world .

                  Most boxers can be undefeated if they cherry pick their opponent but most boxers isn't coward. Floyd should had a chance to become the 2000-2009 FIGHTER OF THE DECADE if he did not cherry pick.
