If you want to consider yourself the best, you must fight the top fighters out there, and though there aren't many out there on Floyd's level today, he must fight the Mosleys', the Margaritos', the Cottos', and the Williams' to silence all doubters. I'll call Floyd great when he does to those what he has done to others.

Are you going to tell me these are not good opponents ?? and just for the record there isn't anyone near Mayweather's skill level in Welterweight division.
Finito, many of those fights were LONG AGO, and as Floyd has climbed the weights, his level of competition has not been as consistent as when he was below 140. And as I said, I don't remember many with Floyd's skills, but the fighters I mentioned (Margarito, Mosley, Williams, and Cotto) certainly have better skills that Baldomir, Gatti, Mitchell, Brusseles, wouldn't you say? And you can't claim no one in the welterweight division has the skill level of Floyd unless you put them in the ring with him to prove it, correct?
