Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the least satisfying great fighter I know of. He’s surely a great fighter — great defense, precision puncher. But there is nothing dangerous about him, lethal about him, dramatic about him. He outpointed Robert Guerrero but never hurt him, never had him in trouble, never knocked him down, never scored a 10-8 round. Mayweather hurt his right hand, but still. Thomas Hearns, Ray Leonard, Ray Robinson, Carmen Basilio, Emile Griffith, Jose Napoles all were more exciting, more satisfying welters, although Mayweather could have beat a few of them. I had Mayweather winning 7 rounds to 5.
