I would say Floyd has done more as a prize fighter than Rocky did , Lets not forget Floyd is an OLD man now , but he still finds ways to win at top level.
Most ATG'S are in a care home by 38 , yes he is a total dickhead but Mayweather is one of the finest fighters ever.
Let us not judge Floyd as a 30 something , because lets face facts he did plenty before he even reached 30.
He could certainly learn a lot from the way Rocky handled himself in the public eye.
Floyd doesn't give a flying fuck about beating Marciano's record. there's nothing in it for him. All he's interested in now is being classed as "the best ever." Marciano, for all what he did isn't ever classed as the best ever, so if he beat Marciano's record, anti Floyd people would say "so what?"
After 30 years in the game, Floyd has justifiably had enough. He's only interested in fights that cement his legacy. Fighting Cotto and become World Champ in another division might do it in some people's eyes, beating GGG might do it in some people's eyes, and that's about it.
