Because boxing aficionados KNOW two Floyd Mayweathers couldn't beat Leoanrd/Hagler/Duran lol - He doesn't have their resume nor do I think he could beat any of those great fighters from the 80s...losses don't mean as much in boxing as it does in other sports - Rocky Marciano is the ONLY heavyweight champion/fighter to retire undefeated, yet NO ONE ever ranks him as thee GOAT...certainly not over fighters like Ali or Joe Louis who both had several losses on their record
