Mayweather: "I'm Better than Ali"

if you dont think your the best or can become the best you dont belong in the game. if you have no belif in your self why fight, floyd belives in him self and he is just as skilled as those fighters were, but ali and ssr didnt fight at a time were boxing is the number 6 sport in the country

There is a thin line which separates confidence and self-belief from arrogance and conceit and I am afraid that Mayweather clears that line almost every time he opens his mouth. let me ask you, honestly, how many people have you ever hung around with that are considered the best at what they do? im being serious here. in any profession, how many people do you know or have been around, that people say "that guy is the best in the world at what he does" i could tell you about my experiances in the studio with a couple of big name producers, and big name rappers, as well as when i was in high school and played with a guy who went on to go to the NFL. i mean, the thing is about mayweather is that he is more open about it to the press, notably because boxers get quoted ALOT, and since there arent too many gag orders on boxers like there are on players who play for team sports, his shit gets broadcasted everywhere. but im telling you right now, i cant tell you how many times ive heard guys talk about how great they are, or how much better they are than someone who came before them. Im not justifying what floyd is saying, because i dont agree completely, but the thing is, i know how these guys can be because ive been around it before, some guys are better at concealing their confidence/conceit than others, and there are guys who just dont give a fuck. i have been around both. just look at the ALI quotes being posted, you hoenstly going to say mayweather is the only person to do this? or hes so dispicable when loved fighters before him did the same thing?

"I'm the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren't no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn't know about them." -Ali -------- I could do this all day, people. Let's not let our emotions cloud our judgement, here. I've never seen so many touchy people in my life. And on a forum where the topic of discussion is basically controlled violence. i remember that quote, i remember laughing when i read that too, i read that in some ESPN sports book.

when he says he's better than ali, he must mean health wise cos the little shit does'nt come close to him skill wise. you obviously haven't seen too many ALI highlights, the guy was nothing extra-ordinary and skill wise mayweather is better, so is ray leonard and roy jones

you pbf fans are so 110% sure of pbf winning why dont one of you guys bet me 20k at 5:1 odds so i can make some points off you???? Sure I'll bet you. Point don't mean much to me but either way I am not worried.

Dammit Dios, How did u get back in here? Mayweather punked Oscar in the ring? funny i thought he survived because Oscar gased? Hmm, only Dios would find a way to make survival into punking someone lawl! You are picking Hatton to beat Floyd which means you're gonna have to give him credit if he proves you wrong right???? Are you saying he needs to make it a war regardless if he doesn't have to. You think Gatti wants to be in a war against a friggin Ward......he had no choice because he doesn't have Floyd's skills.......big difference. Ali didn't choose to fight the way he did against Frazier (one fight which he lost) it happened because Frazier made him. He didn't choose to fight against Foreman the way he did, Foreman made him and Ali's legs werent'a as fresh as A Cassius Clay's in his 20's. I'm not gonna say if pbf beats hatton because i dont believe there is an if.But if what you say does happen I'll give pbf alot of credit.

I know he did survive cause oscar ran out of gas. I don't believe I'm even gonna comment anymore on pbf cause I honestly believe he is so overated . I will give him that he has had some good matches.But he has never fought wars in the ring to the likes of the legends he is saying he is better than. I'm just gonna wait till december 8th before i comment much more on pbf. You are picking Hatton to beat Floyd which means you're gonna have to give him credit if he proves you wrong right????

I remember the first ep of the dlh/pbf 24/7. Floyd/Ellerbe were calling Oscar and his brother "bitches" because they avoid confrontation. Oscar always did seem to squirm in the face of confrontation. He allowed both vargas and mayorga to punk him in pressers. Fortunately, he was better than those guys, and he could take his revenge in the ring. But he isn't as good as Floyd, so he got punked in the pressers, and in the ring. The rap culture has a foundation in confrontation: battle raps. Alot of guys take what Floyd says personally. PBF just does that to size a guy up. To gauge where his head is at. These dudes have been coming up short. Notice that Floyd never said anything bad about Baldomir before or after the fight. For some reason, Floyd repects TaTa. Why is that? Dammit Dios, How did u get back in here? Mayweather punked Oscar in the ring? funny i thought he survived because Oscar gased?

Mayweather is a joke and nobody should take the bullshit he says seriously, this is the reason why he has no fans. Like Ricky Hatton said "I have 33,000 people who want to see me fight in Las Vegas, Floyd has 33". The only person with a brain in the Mayweather family is Jeff, the rest are a bunch of retarded assclowns. Are you sure you're really laughing or fuming at his comments? Are you willing to put your hopes up that Hatton will beat him OR are you predicting Floyd to win? I've been waiting for almost 2 yrs to see hatton beat floyd when i heard the fight was annouced that same day i was thinking. Finally pbf will go down. No hopes I know hatton will beat him.I'm not fuming I'm honestly laughing at how stupid some people are.

. Notice that Floyd never said anything bad about Baldomir before or after the fight. For some reason, Floyd repects TaTa. Why is that? He tried the Mr. Nice guy routine and it didn't get him anywhere. People had nothing to get excited about. He even pumped Baldomir up as a dangerous opponent who he takes very seriouosly and in return he got ridiculed for facing him. Taking the "Breaking an opponent down and making him look as low as possible" approach just seems to work better. BTW, how did you comeback to boxingscene?

sorry guys I'm still laughing at pbf after that comment!! Are you sure you're really laughing or fuming at his comments? Are you willing to put your hopes up that Hatton will beat him OR are you predicting Floyd to win?

sorry guys I'm still laughing at pbf after that comment!!

Floyd Mayweather has stepped up his war of words with Ricky Hatton by claiming to be the greatest boxer ever. The unbeaten American welterweight insists he is even better than legends Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali. The 30-year-old, who fights Hatton in Las Vegas on 8 December, said: "I can quit today and be known as the best fighter that ever lived. "I respect what Robinson and Ali did for the sport. But I am the greatest, and this is my time." LINK what a joke.Ali fought wars in the ring.What wars has floyd fought in the ring.

wow....calzaghe? floyd would have to actually weigh 165 atleast and i can see em decisioning calzaghe but 1st he'd have to beat a middleweight for a title thats what floyd should do surpass delahoya 6 division titles if he wants to be that great cuz he only has a couple names on his record -delahoya(too late),judah(best win),gatti(shot),castillo(good win),corrales(great win) and hernandez(kinda late) floyd needs something that no other fighter has i mean he has the skills no other fighter has but not the record

I'm not going to even comment anymore on this.(I'm laughing after this statement)

Seriously enough of this....I HATE floyd mayweather...HATE. I cannot stand this guy. I really would never wanna see someone get hurt EXCEPT this guy. With all the shit he's talked to hatton and everyone else throughout his career...he needs to get punched in the head so hard that he just becomes a vegetable. And then maybe he'll be candidate for hof just out of pity. And lets be real...he did dodge margarito...and if you wanna be real about it...margarito is one of the most feared welterweight fighters. He's caught on interview saying "Im not here to prove to the fans whos the best" Then why are you here. For a payday...and thats not what boxings about. Ray Robinson is better than mayweather because he fought for peanuts and liked it. There is more to beating your opponent than just winning the fight. And to be honest, I haven't seen mayweather truly definitively beat any of his recent opponents except an old already battered numerous times gatti. Also, if you wanna argue the reason as to why mayweather wont fight margarito due to him not being an elite fighter...then why did he take the fight with gatti? Plus, he has talked about how its all about making money...he rejected 8 mil to fight margarito...So lets get this straight, its not about money...wouldnt that mean its all about being great then and proving to the fans you're the best, yet he also said its not about proving to the fans who's the best. So whats the real reason for not fighting margarito? As far as someone saying he didnt back peddle alllllll night with dlh...your reasoning for that was.."how could he backpeddled if he was on the ropes most of the fight"...wtf..that just proves my point, how the hell else do you end up with your back to the ropes without backing up to them lol? Gayweather has built a career on fighting what he himself and his fans consider c class bums. HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU BETTER THAN ALI? Im so sick of these mayweather debates because they only anger me. Liking mayweather is exactly like rooting for the bad guy in movies. The true boxing fans on this forum will root for the right guy Dec. 8th. The first step to recovery is admiting you have a problem. At least you're honest with you feelings.........keep releasing it. I also suggest you go see a psychiatrist.
