Someone needs to explain to me why Floyd doesn't deserve to be mentioned with ATGs

[mnmc10]

For people who say Mayweather ducked competition, he has had more fights than SRL did, an all-time great.

he fought more than pbf and srl he only lost 3 fights so does it make him an ATG?
its not how many you won and how little you lost. its who you won against and the way he finished that opponent.

In 41 pro fights there are only 3 fighters who Floyd did not meet who he definately could have; Williams, Cotto, and Margarito. He get's a pass for Williams for the same reason De la Hoya gets a pass for ducking Winky Wright, because it was a fight that flat out would not have sold to anyone but us hardcore fans. Mayweather-Cotto would have been huge at the time and Floyd used a bullsh!t excuse for not taking it. Mayweather-Margarito also would have sold alot and even though I think Floyd wins them all, it doesn't mean much if he never gets in the ring with them. That being said aside from Holyfield and Mosley there haven't been too many other fighters the past 20 years who have fought absolutely everyone they could have. Floyd is clearly an all time great and IMO top 10 p4p but can't make the claim for #1, at least not now.
