That leads me to my theory as to why people are angry and want Mayweather to continue: You don't WANT him to go out on top and undefeated because you dislike him as a fighter, a person, or both. You'd much rather watch him hang around and continue stepping into the ring with the best in the business because you know that sooner or later, one of them is going to catch him on a bad day and tarnish his legacy.

Thoughts?


I dont know what his legacy is he was World Champ until his Lightweight days and he won titles at 140,147 and 154.

He didnt fight the best he chose a path of least resistance most of his career.

Great fighter with superb skills but a shallow resume. Look at his last 10 fights then compare to a Pacquaio or a Cotto.
