His CV is good but lets not drool over it. For what he earns he should have fought GGG by now.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Sorry guys,
But give me a highlight reel that compares to this one.
Even the music sounds good..
This is all you need to know about this man.
No other fighter makes these fighters look this easy.
No one can could hate on this video..

one of the best resumes I've seen or read about wins over guys like Maidaina, who isn't classed as a good win for Floyd is a guy like Khan's best win. Wins over guys like Corrales, Gatti and Hatton are great wins let alone Cotto, Mosley, Canelo and Pac it's a true standout resume and to do it all with no loses is amazing. moving up five weight classes is a great accomplishment that very few match with the exception of Pac an amazingly talented fighter like Glolovkin is weary to move up one. another classic boxer like Rigo has only moved up what two or three?
People say Floyd has never fought an ATG in their prime. Well, other than Pacquiao, what ATGs were there? Margarito? Cintron? Clottey? Williams?

Tszyu, maybe Wright (he walked away from that fight), Hopkins, Ward, Martinez at a stretch
It's not that he never fought ATG's, he never cleaned out divisions or dared to challenge himselfFreitas, Casamayor at 130, Spadafora, Dorin at 135, Tszyu at 140, Spinks, Cotto, Margaritio, Williams, Pacquiao at 147 (when it mattered)
, Martinez was creaming for a fight
just like Golovkin is now
Mayweather can't be blamed for all those fights not happening but some have them should havewhen your the best fighter in the world you should seek the best challenges. Especially if you have the nerve to call yourself TBE
Mayweather's refusal to challenge himself at 160 or above; when other great fighters who started out at lower weights than him have done so is all you need to know to see his claim to TBE is total bogus
It's his own faults, he put that TBE cap on his head and made outrageous claims. If he hadn't of done that know one would give a sh-t. He is a great fighter just not TBE
Floyd's career has been very carefully maneuvered![]()
Cold Heart and a Weak Mind
Said it before, will say it again: Floyd did not come into the world of boxing holding all the cards.
For the vast majority of his career, he was an ultra talented guy with very little name value, who couldn't draw jack shit, which meant most fighters were not in a hurry to fight him. He didn't have the pull to make these guys fight him.
He called out the majority of the guys you mentioned. He called out a 154lb Oscar when he was fighting at 135 - Oscar turned it down, saying he had nothing to gain taking that fight. He called out Mosley at 135 - Shane chose instead to move up to 147 and fight Oscar for the big money. Can't blame Mosley for doing that, and can't blame Floyd for the fight not happening.
Little known fact as well: Floyd was scheduled to fight Spadafora at MSG but the New York Athletic Commission put the kibosh on that after Paul was charged with shooting his pregnant finance.
