Do you agree with this statement?

Floyd Mayweather: “I respect what Sugar Ray Robinson and Ali did for the sport, but I am the greatest of all time.”

[The Comedian]

not yet....

If he beats Pacquiao, Williams and Martinez then he'll at least have an argument.

Mayweather is one of the best of this generation. So you can make the argument. But I can't undersstand why he gets so much criticism for his feelings of himself. He has dominated everybody he has fought. Anybody who is great at what they do should feel the same way.

[Pacquiao'd]

yes, who are we to tell another man what and what not to feel

[ßringer]

No.

And if ever you encounter someone who does agree with that statement, I suggest you examine their mouth closely ; because you'll likely find Floyd's **** in it.

[NChristo]

No and he never will be the greatest.

Green K coming your way. I just spat my beer all over my screen laughing at that comment

I say he can have an argument only if he beats Pacman, and then the legit champ at 154 which I'm guessing is Martinez right now.

But right now no, he's just going by Ali's one quote, "I thought if I said it enough, people would actually believe it." But he hasn't yet. Missed out on to many good challenges to take on lesser ones. If he would have beat Cotto & Margarito around 07-08 instead of fighting Hatton & retiring then I think he could possibly have a case with of course the same win over Mosley.

It really depends on your definition of great.

Talent wise I think he's somewhere up there. I'd put him top five purely on skills.

I think thats what he means when he says 'I'm the best ever'. Because he can look at tapes of Ray Robinson and Ray Leonard and genuinely believe he's every bit as good as them.

He's always going to be a bit behind the old timers as far as resume is concerned, and it wouldn't change no matter who he fights in this era. If he had fought Cotto and Margarito, people would still be saying ''he needs to fight these 3 guys''

He's been a world champion since he was 21 and I think he's become tired of bumping off names. Pacquaio and Martinez/Williams for a middleweight title and he's done as much as can be asked if you ask me.
