What makes fighters like Hopkins great is that he never fought for the fans he didn't care if they booed or cheered him what he cared was that his arm was raised by the end of the fight, same for Mayweather. And you can knock his "lack of greatness for not wanting to finish an opponent off" but isnt it up to the opponent to press him effectively and put him in a situation where he HAS to? And if they haven't then thats how GREAT Mayweather is imo. Mayweather does what he has to do, and the fact that no one has forced him to really have to dig deep yet shows how great a fighter he is no matter how he fights. I agree and think Mayweather should have won boxer of the year.
