He always has good things to say about Shane. Even when they were fighting.

I guess most posters here remember quotes of roger mayweather disrespecting countless boxers so i thought we could do the opposite and list good things he said about fighters. I know he thinks robinson is greatest of all time and heard him say on 24/7 duran is greatest latin fighter of all time. Thats what i can remember on the top of my mind.

Well Liston was tremendous. Liston was more like a Mike Tyson or a George Foreman for his era and time. He didn’t have problems with them. They feared him mostly because of how big he was and at the time he was a big heavyweight and at that time he was a big puncher. He was more like Mike Tyson was in his era and time in boxing. He beat them more with fear than he did with his hands. They feared him more than anything and ultimately that’s how Liston will be remembered until he met Muhammad Ali. Until he met Muhammad Ali he beat everyone with the fear. He put the fear in them first. That’s basically what Liston did. That’s what Mike Tyson did. Certain fighters have an aura about them when people look at them. When they look at them they won’t even look the fighter in the eyes. But he met a guy and he didn’t believe he could beat him. He didn’t believe he could beat him and he proved to the world he was the best that there is, Muhammad Ali. He went through that era, too. Liston was just like the aura of Mike Tyson and the aura of George Foreman. Most of those guys were beat before they even got in the ring and that’s what Liston instilled in them. It’s fear. That’s what it was.

I found this quote about liston. Roger also has great respect for Ali and Louis but consider Louis a cruiserweight.
