Floyd remains as the best boxer in the world because he has the most skills. Look up what the word skill means and understanding why Floyd can be considered the one the best of all time. Skill is ability coming from practice, knowledge, aptitude, etc. People like Kobe Bryant, Payton Manning, and Pernell Whittaker are people with great knowledge about the sport that they compete in. They know so much about their sport that they usually beat their opponents by outsmarting them. An example, Michael Jordan vs. Lebron James one-on-one is a great match up. The person who won would be the one that had the most practice and knowledge. Michael Jordan is not considered the best of all-time because he won 6 NBA titles. If this was the case, Robert Horry would be the best of all-time. Robert Horry won 7 NBA titles. There remains one thing that most of us will agree on. Michael Jordan would spank Robert Horry one-on-one in a basketball match. Michael Jordan would win because he had more skill and ability. Courage would determine which one had enough heart/confidence to get out there do what they know. Courage definitely remains over-looked, but moving on. One could argue ability is the reason one guy won, but there is one problem. Skills/knowledge/technique nullifies the ability of any man, so that is not a valid excuse saying that another guy won due to his ability. Plus, we are discussing elite boxers, basketball players, football players, and etc, so ability is out of the question. To get to an elite level of one’s sport, you must have some form/type of ability to at least be considered. A great boxer with skill knows how harness their ability enough to attack and defend in many different styles that they have mastered. Floyd can greatly fight out of any style while moving, coming forward or stepping back. His courage comes from his accomplishments, so he has plenty of courage. Floyd has more skill than any other boxer to ever step in a ring and compete on an elite level. He might have learned these styles from other fighters from the past, but the key thing is that he learned them. There is no past fighter or new fighter that should be able to beat Mayweather. Looking at how many fights a guy won, who he beat, the talent he had, etc is too trivial. One could go on all day by trying to decide who the best this way is. (The Media cannot seem to get this straight there in small heads) It is unfair, incorrect, and terrible logic.
