    Nah he said he was on their level(which is crazy) not that he was better. During the Baldomir telecast from wat I remember...

        Ask the thread starter. He asked the question. We're just giving him feedback on his question.

          Nothing wrong with what he's saying.
          How many boxers had to fight their way out of poverty? about 93%.

            Precisely, hence why guys like Floyd find it difficlut to give others credit for the same troubles they had to go through to become great fighters. Hence why he says, they were great in their respective era's and i'm great in my era.

            No big deal.

              That's actually not what he said. He said something along the lines of how he worked hard to get where he's at, and there's nothing wrong considering yourself the best given all the work he's put in, and accomplishments he's made. I mean, if he feels that way, cool. We all know the truth.

              This was the same interview where he considered himself "the best to ever lace em up" Brian Kenny said "Better than ali and srr" Floyd said "absolutely"

                  Floyd said exactly this,

                  "I respect what Robinson and Ali have done for this sport. But I am the greatest and this is my time"

                    The best of his era? maybe.... to discredit TRUE ATG's and say hes better then them? is absolute ignorance.
