Was Mayweather as good as people make him out to be?

[Fanofreason]

Floyd was older than Manny when they fought and he made easy work of him.

Floyd was the best ever.

Yes, he was that good. Not sure about TBE, but he's in the conversation.

He's the best of his time and that's all you can be.

Also, he ducked Khan? come on. He would've beaten Khan easily. He would've figured out Khan's speed. If guys like Peterson and even Algieri to a degree can pretty much handle Khan's speed, Floyd would have no issues.

Khan never put himself in a position for the Floyd fight when Floyd was active. Instead he waited around fighting nobody or weaker opposition, feeling entitled to a fight. Floyd always picked opponents coming off good wins such as Ortiz beating undefeated Berto, Maidana beating Broner, Guerrero putting himself in a mandatory shot, Canelo being a champ etc.. Khan did none of those things, didn't try to beat any champs or anything. Just sat around being entitled, fighting once a year and missed his chance.
