to make him the GOAT or in the discussion of GOAT.

If it's such easy work as many of you say, what's the hold up? After the Rio's fight, make it so.

There's no one left. Don't even bring up Garcia, Khan, or Alexander.

if he fights sergio martinez, wins and retires undefeated, he should be in the GOAT conversation imo.

forget about pac, it ain't happening, and martinez is a much bigger win
 
Your boy walked away from the fight, because he didnt want to take the test. ask pac whats the hold up

Pac had his chance. Floyd is passed him in every sense of the word. Pac would have to win two or three more times.

I think alexander beats Pac

Oh the ignorance.

Just the small matter of two different promoters who don't fight each other and two fighters who fight on different networks. One of which does what his promoter tells him to.
 
As far as I’m concerned, Mayweather had the opportunity to make the biggest statement of his career against Manny Pacquiao in 2010, when Pac was THE RING’s pound-for-pound king and not long after the Boxing Writers Assoc. of America voted the Filipino hero as the Fighter of the Decade (for the 2000s), and he didn’t force it to happen. He should have. His legacy (as well as Pacquiao’s) was diminished by the failure of that fight being made.

Mayweather has fought many worthy opponents, some of whom will be enshrined in the hall of fame with him (De La Hoya, Mosley, Marquez), but most of the elite names were long in the tooth (and in the case of JMM, in the wrong division) when he fought them. Even though Canelo was still a little green, I give him credit for making this fight happen because Alvarez was experienced for his age and had proven to be the best 154 pounder (aside from Floyd).

Spot on take.
 
Martinez is not coming all the way down to Floyd's weight to fight incredibly drained. He's far bigger than FM, that would be a stretch to come down and do it. Floyd isn't tanking up much beyond 150, so where do they fight?

Pac is still a dream match, but its passed now. He's waning, star is fading and his name doesn't have the draw it had to make Floyd bother.
 
Pac vs May would still break the PPV record.

Why? Both are mainstream names and the two biggest PPV stars who avg 1 mil buys.

If it's "easy work" make it happen.

60-40 favor in Floyd but we all know he is still scared of the Pacman.
