    Every time the guy does what he does the opponent either becomes sub par, he hand picked his opponents or the bar is raised. I swear he could beat the mythical Gegenees and he'd be accused of hand picking and expected to fight the Medusa blind folded.

    i would think he'd agree to fight the Medusa blindfolded.

    Floyd is an astute matchmaker, and picker of opponents whilst taking away their advantages (like getting the Alvarez fight made at catch weight) ..... But he is also a classically trained scholar, steeped in ancient history and Grecian mythology

    As such, he would know that gazing in the face of the Medusa would turn him to stone, so the blindfold would be to his advantage

    If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?

    But think of the unfair stipulations Floyd demands of every single opponent thus far, clearly his heart is already made of stone. Perhaps he would pull the wool over our eyes once again and fight Medusa without revealing his immunity to her gaze.

    It would be a gentlemans gesture in an attempt to find common bonds with the Judges. If they can score blindfolded, why on Earth should he not be allowed to fight that way

    Floyd Mayweather is the best boxer that ever lived.

    Hand picks his opponents ? Are you serious ?

    It just annoys people that he beats very good fighters easy. The problem I see with Mayweather is that people want to see him get KNOCKED OUT. The problem is he beats those heavy handed guys like guys like Canelo, Diego Corrales, Gatti even easier.

    People don't to see him in against a Devon Alexander but they are the type of fighters who will cause him problems. An Amir Khan type, someone with youth, speed and fast footwork, now as I say I don't think there is any fighter that I have seen who would beat Mayweather. The guy has not even had a close fighter.

    People talk about Golovokin. He has not done anything. Lets see him up aganist Canelo, Martinez and Chavez Jnr. He could even move up to fight Andre Ward but Ward will run him out the ring.

    No heavyweight will ever move like ali.
    He will always remain the greatest because he was a great heavyweight and not a hyperthetical pound for pound but a real life £4£.

    Ali.
    Floyd
    Roy.

    Skills are so abundant in these 3.
