This would have been akin to SRR not fighting the champs at middlweight like Lamotta etc. There's no excuse for it and regardless whether any Floyd fans choose to like it or not, at a time when gys like Williams,Cotto,Margarito and a TON of solid fighters were at 147,Floyd fought none of them and that's just a fact.
As much as I love Mayweather there isn't anything I could disagree with there. Mayweather seemed consumed with legacy and while I respect any fighter for retiring whenever they feel considering what they do for a living, it leaves a smudge on his legacy in my mind. PBF didin't need to take on every single stud in the division because it's like whack-a-mole; every time you hit one another pops up. But if he'd fought at least 1 that would have been something to hang his hat on.
