Sure I'll bet you. Point don't mean much to me but either way I am not worried.

when he says he's better than ali, he must mean health wise cos the little **** 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

"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."

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.

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 **** 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 ****. 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 di****able when loved fighters before him did the same thing?

[moy22487]

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

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

Naz claimed that he believed he could go on to be greater than Ali. Brendan Ingle even said himself that Naz should have gone on to be a bigger name than Ali.
