Floyd Mayweather Jr: Better then Ali and SRR??

[Biolink]

I agree. Floyd is getting on my nerves.

He picks fights with smaller fighters(JMM) and fighters past their prime(Sugar Shane Mosley) and ducks true competition.

Ali and Sugar Ray actually had balls.

I'm not defending the choice to fight Marquez, but that old out of prime fighter Shane Mosley called him out

[oside4life]

and his trash talking sucks, " I'm a dog i'm a gorilla, I'm a gorilla I"m a dog" okay wtf. everything he says when he talks trash seems preplaned and rehersed gives trash talkers like gary payton and reggie miller a bad name.

But that "old" out of "prime" Shane is a natural Welter, was Marquez, hell was even Hatton?

he made himself look like a disrespectful mofo who has his nose so far stuck up his own ass that he can't smell the odors of the truth......Ray and Ali fought EVERYBODY.....Floyd only fight SELECTED dudes that are SOMEBODY as far as drawing power.....his comment was weak, wack, and showed his lack of knowledge of how fighters are judged.....he needs to grow up and learn to pay hommage when its due

exactly, this dude has no sense of reality, lol roger mayweather saying "his daddy taught him taught him how to make money" lol fix you teeth lol yeah u get money hahaha if you have money fix your teeth then.

He said this last night on 24/7. Your thoughts?

He said hes been Boxing for his whole life so he refuses to say that somebody is a better Boxer than him, so he was saying he does believe hes better than Ray Robinson and Ali was... he never said he was a bigger ATG, he just said he believes he is a better Boxer than they were... which he is entitled to believe because at the end of the day its his opinion and Boxers have to have confidence.

Whether or not we agree with him is a different story, he didn't say he was a bigger ATG, cause he isn't... he just said he believes he is better then they were.

1) That's why I said I'm not going to defend him fighting Marquez because even I thought that fight was worthless

2) I was responding to some other guy that called Shane Mosley old and out of prime despite Mosley wanting that fight first.

3) Hatton's not a natural welter, but he had his chance to unify the belts with Mayweather at 140. Hatton's team thought he was green and realistically why drop to 140, when Hatton's team didn't want it at that weight, and Mayweather was coming down from 154? Its not like Hatton had problems making 147.

I think you guys are missing the point. Floyd, at least to me, is saying in order for me to be the greatest fighter ever I have to actually believe it. As he said in the episode why would I say someone is better than me. I think that is the mentality a boxer should have to be great. If you really think that you are going to train harder because you have said it and you have to back it up. I am sure kobe thinks he is the best even though he may never say it. Floyd may still have some things to prove but that doesn't mean he shouldn't think of himself as the greatest. Once you start doubting your abilities and skills you already lost.

[johnm is...]

He's a little more annoying on this 24/7 series than in the past, but whatever.

But are we really supposed to expect him to say "nah, I'm not the best, there's a ton of people out there who were better"? Come on. Of course he's not going to say that. And he's not supposed to.
