Mayweather tells the Grand Rapids Press why he feels Margarito is not worthy. Mayweather tells the paper: "To be pound-for-pound, to be mentioned in the same breath as Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard, you have to have
done great things in boxing. For him (Margarito) , he held a title at 147, then went to 154, failed, came back down, fought a couple cab drivers, and now he's in line to fight Floyd Mayweather? It doesn't work that way."

Mayweather added: "That's what makes me the champion I am. That's why they're going to say Floyd Mayweather was the best fighter ever. I'm a risk-taker."

No doubt that this article was meant for true boxing fans in the know rather than PBF’s hometown-- muchos cc’s for a great and truthful read.

Move over Sugar Ray Robinson,
