And if he's never tested?

What if Mayweather is just way better than everyone else?

I mean, he took almost 2 years off, came back and made the #2 guy look like a complete amateur. I understand weight difference, but to totally outclass a world ranked champion like that? In such a devastating fashion? Just about pitching a complete shut out across the scorecards?

I'm sorry, but that isn't only weight/height/reach difference. That is pure raw skill displayed at it's finest.

And i'm inclined to believe that he can do that against just about anyone.

There is nobody i see in boxing today (that could potentially have a match with Mayweather) that could rival his skill. I understand there are guys that are bigger, stronger, closer to his size. But there is nobody who is touching his skill. Nobody who shows they have what it takes, in terms of pure skill, to beat him.

Its like this: If Usain Bolt shatters a world record, that nobody else can even come close to, but he did it on a track running by himself, I don't need to see him race 1-on-1 against every other runner to know that he is the fastest man alive.
