Floyd: "I am the greatest boxer"

[squealpiggy]

It's not about being disrespectful, it's about being unrealistic. Floyd is making claims that no fighter can honestly make. Ali got pilloried for making that claim at the time and quite right too. Claiming to be the best ever is poor sportsmanship. If you're the best ever then the accolade will be given to you in time. Greatest ever with 38 fights? Why?

Every time he says things like this he drops in the estimation of just about everyone.

Squeal... don't speak for anybody other than yourself.

Apart from the those who have delusions of being Floyd's pretty boy.

I make you right m8...This is not just a comment to hype his fight with Hatton he is being dis-repectful to Boxers and boxing fans who love the sport..By trashing great boxers. I dont know why he does it, Yea he is a class fighter I wouldnt say anything dif but to make ****** comments like that would upsett most.

Help me understand how he is disrespecting YOU AS A FAN by saying that he respects Ali, et al, but this is his time

Floyd tells it like it is. He IS and WILL BE the greatest boxer of all time when it is all said and done.

Thank you, champ. Good to 'see' you.

indeed. does that surprise you though?

Anyone in the know is vaguely irritated by proclamations of greatness. I don't count Floyd's blinkered fans.

Because he gives Ali respect in one hand and takes it away with another, I have never said that Mayweather aint a class fighter, But until I see the greatness in him, I aint gonna call it any other way..Mayweather is a fighter who fights on the back foot mostly, That aint a sign of greatness thats a sign of and I quote "A business man" Stand and fight like a man he might get my respect aswell as others...He isnt even in the same class as Ali in or out the ring. Period thats M.O. I would even go as far to say that what Tyson did in boxing at his age was a true sign of greatness.
