If you want to consider yourself the best, you must fight the top fighters out there, and though there aren't many out there on Floyd's level today, he must fight the Mosleys', the Margaritos', the Cottos', and the Williams' to silence all doubters. I'll call Floyd great when he does to those what he has done to others.

How about.

Genaro Hernandez
Oscar De La Hoya
Ricky Hatton
Jesus Chavez
Zab Judah
Carlos Hernandez
Angel Manfredy
Diego Corrales
Jose Luis Castillo x2

Are you going to tell me these are not good opponents ?? and just for the record there isn't anyone near Mayweather's skill level in Welterweight division.
