many people are show generational bias. They act like just because you are in the past that you are a God, however, most of you mu****as don't know enough about past fighters to even make this assumption . I don't see anything wrong with him saying this and I understand where he is coming from. If I dedicate my life to something, I am gonna say I am the best too and not give a shyt about what other people believe, because they didn't walk in my shoes. But from an non pro boxer standpoint, I think mayweather's timing and defensive are unlike anything that I have ever seen in another fighter.Comment

This. Ray Robinson and Ali were great, great men. But from a boxing purist standpoint, Floyd is every bit as good as them. He really doesn't care about the 'greatness' anyway from the looks of things.these are terrible arguments, though i dont agree with mayweather
the simple answer is
Sugar Ray Robinson was greater because he was more prolific, he fought over a 100 fights without losing, and over 140 in his career,
Ali was the second greatest because he had the character and charisma to match his talent, he was a heavyweight boxer which is naturally a larger draw, but he boxed like a smaller man, using alot of movement and footwork
most importantly he was a likeable guy and commanded much more respect
As far as skill goes, neither of them really have anything definitively on mayweather, its a matter of opinion
Ive been saying this for a while Mayweather is certainly not the greatest boxer, but he probably could be the best boxer
The 'He couldn't be the greatest cos SRR fought 200 fights' argument is pretty weak if you ask me. Does anyone really want to see Floyd fight 200 times? Do people realise that would entail fighting a bunch of mismatchs just to pad his record?Comment

When Muhammad Ali said he was The Greatest, you tended to believe him. When Floyd Mayweather Jr. says the same thing, well …
Mayweather was asked on a conference call a few days ago whether he actually believes what he has said in the past, that he’s a better fighter than were both heavyweight legend Ali and the consensus greatest-ever Sugar Ray Robinson.
He answered in the affirmative.
“Why not?,” he said. “I take my hat off to them. I got respect for Sugar Ray Robinson. I've got respect for Muhammad Ali. But I'm a man just like they're men. I put on my pants just like they put on their pants. What makes them any better than I am? Because they fought a thousand fights? In my era, it's totally different. You know? It's pay-per-view now, so things change. It's out with the old and in with the new. Things change. Like I said, Muhammad Ali is one hell of a fighter. But Floyd Mayweather is the best. Sugar Ray Robinson is one hell of a fighter, but Floyd Mayweather is the best.”
Here’s a quick why not:
Robinson could do everything Mayweather can – and much more. He had power and wasn’t afraid to use it, as Mayweather seems to be. Robinson actually took risks in order to take out his opponents and entertain the fans. And consider this: He started his career 119-1-2 during an era deep in talent and was still fighting for titles into his 40s. Robinson fought 30-plus fights against Hall of Famers.
Ali could do everything Mayweather can – at heavyweight. And, although he wasn’t as aggressive as Robinson was, he too went after his opponents more than Mayweather does. Ali dominating the richest era ever in the heavyweight division, fighting 13 times against hall of famers. And he had charisma that Mayweather couldn’t begin to replicate.
Who has Mayweather beaten? Jose Luis Castillo? Ricky Hatton? An aging Oscar De La Hoya? That doesn't stack against the likes of Jake LaMotta and Kid Gavilan or Sonny Liston and Joe Frazier.
Make no mistake: Mayweather is a future Hall of Famer and one of the best fighters of his time. To compare him to the likes of Ali and Robinson is ridiculous, however. He needs to prove a lot more before we can even entertain such a concept.



^Hey floyd? Instead of sulking, how about learning humility some day:
thats floyds opinion and a opinion cant be right or wrong,its just a opinion
let it goLast edited by project xxx1; 06-16-2010, 10:22 AM.Comment
