    People are different Kobe is not Floyd Mayweather. Boxing is not Basketball. Micheal Jordan is not Sugar Ray Robinson.


    Micheal is still close to the game and is much more loved then Kobe. So Kobe says the right things to say, but deep down inside I bet he feels that no one is better then him ever. I would prefer honesty over a faker to be honest.


    Ray Robinson is a ghost that is untouchable even though most people do not know jack **** about him.


    Floyd should have whatever view he wants to have of himself, who is anyone to tell him how he should view himself? Are you Floyd Sr?

          I remember reading something about it, but I'm not sure exactly what he said. I don't know if he flat out said he was better, but he may've implied it.

            by asserting that he is the greatest, by default he is asserting that he is better than ali and SRR

              Well, thanks for clearing all that up for me...

              Kobe would tell you flat out he isnt better then Jordan... Ivee seen 3 seperate interviews of him saying this...

              "I feel Im one of the best in the game right now... but Jordan was in his own league.."

                  He did say that Ray Leonard was not as good as he is because Leonard lost to Duran and Camacho ().

                      So that means that Floyd is better than SRL ever was just because SRL lost to Duran once? If u believe this, then u are as delusional as Floyd!
