I'm not a Mayweather fan in any way (I really don't like the guy at all) but you can't deny he's not great, if not the best of all time (Yes, better than Ali/Louis/Marciano). Boxers back in the day were nowhere near as good as they are nowadays (besides Ali, but let's see Ali against a Tyson or Klitscho in their prime).
He hasn't fought Pacquio (I'm a BIG Pacquio fan), but if he did and won, then it would be without question. He's undefeated AND has fought all of the best across multiple divisions (besides Pacquoi). Folks above say he can't knockout people. On the contrary, he's knocked out some big names in the biz or if he hasn't knocked them out completely, he's literally beat the shit out of them. Just check a highlight reel on YouTube. Mayweather manhandled Marquez a few years back. Marquez knocked out Pacquoi (i.e. unconscious). I'm a Pacquoi fan, but I don't think he would beat Mayweather. It would be a case of MayWeather stick and move Ali-style.
Yes, Mayweather doesn't go for the knockout all of the time but for those who appreciate the sport of boxing, you can agree that he's about as smooth and as fast as it gets, offensively and defensively. To not get hit in a boxing match against another extremely talented opponent, is a feat itself.
If he wasn't so arrogant, he'd probably have a lot more fans.
