[QUOTE="JayMillz, post: 360705, member: 888"] He does have a great win streak. It would have been nice if he would have fought Manny Pacquiáo when people were calling for the fight. I have a much greater respect for guys like Sugar Ray, Roy Jones and Holyfield because they took risks and fought in multiple weight classes. Roy Jones Jr was a champ in multiple weight classes. After you clean out your weight class, you can move to another weight class to continue to get quality fights and greater challenges. Mayweather seems to be more concerned with protecting his winning streak, as novices will use that to argue he is/was the best of all time. I'm sure other great fighters could have sat back in their comfort zone and accumulated wins. Roy Jones Jr fights were exciting and great entertainment. Sugar Ray fought wars against guys like Herns. Ali fought the great ones like George Forman and even the dangerous Ernie Shavers. I guess I need to study up on Mayweather Jr because his fights don't stand out to me. [/QUOTE]
