Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Nobody Will Brainwash Me That Ali is Better

[Boskop]

Even if Floyd is the best, he will never be the greatest

[Pocket Dogs!]

If anyone watched the video, the only reason why Floyd started talking like this is because Stephen A said that NOBODY could beat Jordan one on one. And Floyd said that LeBron could because he is physically stronger than Jordan.

Competitive athletes shouldnt be expected to be unbiased and objective about how great they are.

Believing they are the best is what drives them to become the best.
"I AM THE GREATEST!"....sound familiar?

THIS ^^^^ Great boxers are somewhat delusional, this is why they have managers or they would ruin their careers real early. Roy Jones felt like he could win the title in like his 10th fight. This is also why fighters always make up an excuse when they lose a fight. Mentally you have to believe you are invincible to do this at a high level. Clay's record wasn't close to Floyd's when he started calling himself the greatest. Ali became the greatest, but it started with him believing it. Pac might not say it, but I'm sure he thinks the same of himself.

In terms of talent, I actually don't think there's a huge disparity between the two. But, Ali is an icon. Despite all the big numbers and sales, Floyd isn't inspiring generations of kids to become boxers. He's not changing the world with political statements. I think that's why people draw such offense at the comparison.

==Floyd Mayweather's Legendary Ducking Resume==
2002 - grew balls and fought Castillo (and Castillo got robbed)
2004 - ducked Kostya Tszyu and Winky Wright to fight Demarcus Corley, Henry Bruseles and Arturo Gatti
2006 - (time frame) ducked Margarito and undefeated Cotto (fought Zab Judah? Who just lost
2007 - ducked Clottey, Paul Williams, undefeated Cotto, Margarito and fought an out of his prime (and already TKOed) Dela Hoya and fought Hatton at 147(not 140)
2008 - Do a FAKE retirement to duck Clottey, Paul Williams, undefeated Cotto, Margarito and Mosley
2009 - ducked Pacquiao, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, P Williams, and Mosley and fought a lightweight Marquez(Yes, a lightweight!)
2010 - ducked Pacquiao, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, P Williams, and Sergio Martinez and fought a faded Mosley
2011 - ducked Pacquiao, Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, and S. Martinez
2012 - ducked Pacquiago, Clottey and S. Martinez and fought Cotto who was TKOed twice already (HBO is trying hard to make Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.)
2013 - ducked Pacquiao (Floyd go to Showtime to make it harder for Bob Arum to make the fight happen.)
2015 - 36yr old Pacquiao slightly loss speed and power. Time to fight?

Tszyu himself told that Mayweather fight never seriously discussed because he was on Showtime.
Wright - how the f#ck 140 pound fighter can duck 154?
Martinez - yep, Floyd also ducked Ward, Dawson, and Hook
Clottey, Cintron - hahahahhaha
Williams - who is it?
Cotto and Top Rank 2005-2007 doesn't want that fight.Then Cotto lost to Pacquiao and need a recover and then fight happened.
Margo > ODLH??????I'm 100% confident if Floyd faced Margo then you say @he ducked Oscar because he saw how Golden boy destroyed Mayorga@
Haters are pathetic.

Nobody is going to brainwash you, but you sure do know how to brain wash some gullible skinny jean wearing world star visitors into thinking you are the GOAT.

Floyd is the master of manipulating weak minded individuals who live vicariously through him and wish they were him.

Like a cult leader, they repeat everythign he says and even try to talk like him. They had no male role model in their home maybe?

[sargo]

I think Ali is greater than Floyd. He beat Foreman who a generation later still was compeitive with the best. Ali beat Frazier. Did not duck anyone.
Who has Floyd beaten in their prime? He certainly has a duck list and probably the most creative - retire, go to jail.

Robinson has an immaculate record. All I know is what the oldies say and what's on youtube. Those guys on youtube I think Floyd will just Gatti. I think those white guys are overrated and made Robinson look real good. But I know he had plenty of fights not on video.

[lefthook2daliva]

Floyd is at least as delusional as Chavez Jr.

[LacedUp]

This is a rare thing I admire that Mayweather says. Why would you say anyone is better than you?

He didn't only do that though.

Was he taking a dig at the Foreman fight?

"only fought in one weightclass" - jesus this guy says some ******ed sht from time to time.
