Last time I heard it was Robinson who was considered the greatest(albeit our beloved Ali, but we are talking in P4P sense) but I highly doubt Floyd will have a nerve to say he is better then the original Sugar Ray.

I agree with Hatton.
Mayweather is CLEARLY insecure. At least at the thought of people not liking him. Floyd seems in complete denial of the fact that people don't like him very much in places like say; ENGLAND for example..

Floyd: "Forget Leonard, I'm the Greatest"
As the show moved through Manchester, England, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. shouted to the world, "Forget about Leonard and the rest, I'm the greatest boxer of all time."
Ricky Hatton calmly took Floyd to task by stating that Floyd was being disrespectful, and further stating, "I can do something about it."
What Hatton really meant was "I don't care if he is just trying to sell a fight, this punk needs his ass kicked."
Well done Ricky. Another bad move by Floyd. Selling a fight is one thing, but making an opposing fighter truly dislike you is bad for business. Just ask Ali after his first fight with Frazier. Ali created a monster in that one and he never did it again.
There are a lot of people out there that want to root for Floyd. But, his behaviour out of the ring, and his big, SPOILED mouth consistently alienate all but the most extreme Mayweather fans. Yeah, I know about attracting attention to "sell a fight", but people also want to see that their man is a human being, worthy of the adulation. Maybe, Floyd does need to be whipped. Maybe, it would be good for him. Heck, getting off the canvas and making a comeback is the true mark of a champion anyway.Last edited by Wiley Hyena; 09-21-2007, 07:39 PM.
