the ONLY criteria for greatness is.....
who you beat, with consideration given to when/how
so.....
he beat more higher-level champions
he beat Pacquiao head-to-head
he did not get KTFO half-a-dozen times
also.....
his style/skills would have kept him in the fight against any opponent throughout history, including the great fighters of oldComment

The when and how?
Add that in.
How many prime elite welters did Floyd face?
Is Joey Maxim better than SRR
Is Joe Calzaghe better than RJJComment

it is not about beating welters, both of those guys fought in a number of different divisions..... it is about body-of-work historically
Pac's welterweight resume is rubbish to be honest
when Floyd was ranked #1, and Manny was ranked #2..... there was a long run of strong #3 welters..... Pac did not face one of those guys, instead preferring to fight in-house Top Rank JWW's..... until Bradley, Pac had never faced a top 5 welter..... but Floyd fought ALL of them
come on man, Mayweather would have beaten Thurman with his eyes shutComment
