Ricky is on target with his remarks.
"He's an insecure man. That much is obvious, look at the amount of bodyguards he carts around with him. They are everywhere, wearing their ***ellery, flashing money and shouting their mouths off. It may be promotion, but it's his way of masking stuff. "

"I am boxing, there isn't nobody out there with my record," Mayweather said. "Forget Sugar Ray [Leonard] and the rest, I am the best boxer that ever lived."
Im sure the Floydboyz will agree with this one. Best boxer that ever lived? He is officially a BUM. He's a disgrace to boxing.

I agree with why hatton got upset. Thats the characteristic that I dislike about mayweather. He doesn't give respect to the previous greats and I think thats wrong. How can you say forget ali and leonard and say your the best ever. Other fighters I've seen have talked **** or whatever but they still gave their respects to the other great fighters before them. That shows maturity and class and thats something that mayweather doesn't show in that aspect. I mean yeah he is a great fighter and contributor to the community. But when he starts saying that he is the best ever and completeyly writes off ali and other hall of famers as just average compared to him is what pisses me off. My take on it is until he is inducted into the hall of fame is damn self he has no right to talk **** about the all time greats before him. And thats for real.

"For the first time during the tour, Hatton appeared to lose his temper as he shot back at Mayweather's claims."
And that's all that Floyd wanted to do.... get under rick's skin.
