Mayweather's closest professional fight was Maidana I and Emmanuel Augustus, and he still won those fights.

No, he's not. He says Floyd is a great fighter. He just doesn't feel his is at the top of the upper tier (and I agree with him here) but he is upper tier.
Floyd path to 48-0 isn't impressive. He doesn't have a notable fight until he was 25-0 (with Corrales). After Corrales, he fights notable pros on the downside of their career (De La Hoya, Cotto, Mosley).
Not all of that is Floyd's fault though. He just happened to come of age in a particularly weak time for boxing.
