Mayweather: "I'm Better than Ali"

[Mozza]

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."

Didn't Nassem Hamed say the same thing before he fought MAB ?
Ali is still beating people up, with karma.

yall are really trying hard to get more PBF haters....

He said he respected Ali and SRR. And that he is the greatest of all time.
There's no point in arguing or debating on an opinion based discussion.

Maybe he is and maybe he isnt better. So what....no reason to hate the dude.

PBF has insane skills regardless of personality.

I didn't realize this was news to anyone... this isn't new, he's been claiming this for a long time.

It doesn't really bother me... I've never seen Robinson fight, and Ali was in a completely different division. It's hard to compare heavyweights to other weight classes, because of the vast differences between heavyweights.

Anyways, he might be right that he could take Robinson head-to-head, no one knows, and it is certainly a fact that athletes do take better care of themselves, and are conditioned better. It's just the way nutrition and training has improved over the years.

Mayweather may or may not be the best boxer of all time but it certainly isn't for him to decide.
