The kind of greatness you describe as unheard of is not that at all unless you dismiss those who have already been described in such terms. Which is exactly what you do. FMJ is a great boxer not agreeing that he is the Greatest ever is not the same thing as dismissing him or being a "hater". I guess it sucks to have someone call you out on your bullshit.
No, you're purposely misquoting me. I have no issue if people don't think Floyd is the greatest of all time. There were a ton of great fighters over the last 100 years, there's no shame in people thinking, let's say, SRR was the best ever. I don't call people idiots for haters for not buying Mayweather as TBE. I've NEVER done that.
I've never said that no other fighter reached a comparable level of greatness. Again, you're setting up straw man arguments. What I said was that Floyd's run, which includes 18 years of undefeated pro-boxing and 16 of those years fighting on a championship level, is unprecedented. And it is. Nobody has fought consistently world class opposition for so long and not only haven't lost, but have had very few competitive fights.
If you don't think Mayweather is an ATG after what he's accomplished, you're an idiot. Plain and simple. If you don't think Mayweather is a top 10 ATG, you're opinion on anything boxing related is absolutely worthless.
And this theory that "an opinion is just an opinion, all are equal in the eyes of god, an opinion can't be wrong" is complete nonsense. Opinions can be completely worthless if they are baseless or coming from a place of ignorance.
If you say "well in my opinion Floyd ducked prime Oscar, Mosley, and Cotto because he never fought them in their primes" and I respond by giving you DOCUMENTED written/video proof that Floyd called these guys out in their "primes" and these guys were the ones who turned it down, guess what? Your opinion is shit. It's been blown out of the water by FACT.
We all have the right to be ignorant and form opinions based on emotion instead of fact. I'm not trying to take that right away from anyone. It's just not a right I choose to exercise.
