Floyd: "I am the greatest boxer"

[UnbeatableFloyd]

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.

What taking out the bum Mitch Green?
Getting saved by the ref versus Tillis?
Beating a drunk Berbick?
Beating a fighter in Spinks who'd already **** his trunks by the time he got to the ring?

Oh yeah, let's not forget he was on the receiving end of the biggest ass whoopings and upset in sports history.

Or simply maybe, That he went in there to fight, You know not running round the ring all night, Put anyone infront of him at that time he would just go toe to toe...How do you get greatness on the back foot it sint gonna happen. Dont matter what you say!!! He will go down as one of the clases fighters of his time...Thats about it...You have real fighters out there like Calzaghe who will show you the skill right infront of your eyes and infront of the fighter, Without having to run alnight...Its nothing but dribble to say otherwise.IMO

First off all fighters fought bums,name me one that hasnt. Second off,Tyson accomplished more in 3 years then ppl that are Elites that take 15 years to do.

Lets not magnify Tysons wins in his prime,any fighter great or not great could be magnified and stripped down to seem like nothing.

I wasnt trying to get into the argument but ya talking about my boy,in false content.

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

does it really matter how floyd wins?
His style is fighting from the back foot, so what?
He is undefeated, it works for him, does he really have to slug it out and end up with slurred speech like holyfield or meldrick Taylor now is?
He makes millions per fight, he is now 30 and will prolly retire by the time he is 33 or so.
I for one would not like to spend say 50 years rich and punch drunk, too ****** to enjoy the wealth i created.

**** that I love the guy, i love any guy that can get in the ring to be punched.
I don't care how much he mouths off, so what, he deserves to.
People will continue to fall for it and buy the PPVs to see him KTFO, very intelligent marketing if you ask me.
He is brilliant at what he does, better than any fighter today.
I totally respect him and won't hate him for what he says, i will watch him in the ring and make my own mind up.
