You're not getting it. I'm not saying his body of work is better. I'm saying it's on par with anyone elses' and his level of skill is better.

I'm still waiting for you to demonstrate how your top 10 fighters have a more impressive body of work than Mayweather. I've thrown down the challenge to you, or anyone else who wants to take it up. Don't try to wiggle out of it. I'm challenging your boxing knowledge. Take your top 5 to 10 guys (or even your top 25 guys, if you feel adventurous) and tell me why their resumes are so much better than Mayweather's.

Ray Robinson, Benny Leonard, Hank Armstrong, Willie Pep, I wanna know what these guys did that makes them uncomparable to Floyd Mayweather. I wanna know why opponents like Jake Lamotta, Bobo Olson, Joey Maxim, ect are more impressive than guys like Ricky Hatton, JLC, Diego Corrales, De La Hoya, ect. I really want to know. Educate me, I'm an open minded guy. I don't want to think Floyd Mayweather is the GOAT. I think he's an asshole.

Just keep in mind that when doing it, you have to use the same criteria as you use to smash PBF. Don't get lazy like Inuit and say "well he beat a bunch of HOFers". Tell me what their best fights were, what it meant, and what they showed the world.

I await your reply, good sirs
