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.
Floyd Mayweather , like Roy Jones before him, was born with amazing God Given boxing talent. But also like Jones he dodged his most dangerous legit contenders to move up in weight and face easier competition.
Therefore BOTH of their legacies will suffer. They will not be remembered among the best ever because they both lacked one thing A champions heart
