in other words, look at floyd mayweather
he never took the best of the best, as they were at their prime, just cause the fans or media said so... he carefully picked and chose, and fought people when they got older, and kept a flawless record, long time with the belt, and used that to push his career (and money) out the fukking box!!
now if dude listens to the world, goes out and fights dude, gets KO'd and embarrassed, and now nobody cares and his prize money is lowered... then what will people do? pay him his salary? hell nah.. so fukk y'all.
