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

[boxinggod101]

Lol wtc. So if he said "I feel like I'm the best" (which he has said before) then you wouldn't be complaining? If manny said this you would have a hard on and say *** ali you moron.

I got to agree that to be the best u need to feel like ur the best. The only small problem I have with this is him trying to downplay what Ali has done. He should just say im TBE and thats it. Him trying to downplay what others have done makes him a ****** but its nothing new.

I like the confidence hes showing but theres some **** he says that makes him hard to like him.

You'd think that even the biggest haters would concede that Mayweather is a great fighter.

Who ever says Floyd isnt a great fighter is just a pure hater and a groupie. Floyd IS a great fighter no doubt abt it.

I WISH Manny ****s him up but hes still one of the best ever. Not the best but hes up there with the ATG so is Pacquiao.

It will be a good win for Floyd. But not enough to make him great.u

Bradley JMM and Moralas has wins over Manny. Manny has wins over them. Didnt and wont make them the greatest. Nor will it Floyd!

I see you got your excuses ready.

Pact@rds are something else.

going crazy because another human being thinks hes the best is just plane ******... u people really have some issues... whats funny is 90% of the posters who claim some of the older boxers to be the greatest have only seen 7 youtube videos of a fighter like SRR or ali and just listened to others call them the greatest, and hopped on a bandwagon not many actually buy the tapes and study these fighters! alot of u are just full of u know what!

Some truth

Floyd is a technically more sound fighter then Ali. Did not face his level of competition nor does he match his heart and output. Unfortunately both rays match floyds all around skill level plus have more output heart and a big plus power. Both would beat him as well as hearns the Duran from Leonard 1 and MH

He has a lot of making up to do

Better the SRR Idk about that. He has a point about Ali and Foreman but Spinks.... Ali underestimated him and beat him in a rematch. He passed up to many Legacy building fights infavor of getting rich, he only tested himself a few times and Pac is one of the few. In order to surpass them at this stage in his career, he might have to fight GGG and possibly Ward (to surpass SRR he might have to fight Kovalav)and that's just not happening I know it sounds ridiculous but SRR and Moore fought LHW. I'd give him greatest defensive fighter maybe but greatest overall. Nope

[Mooshashi]

so what will it take to surpass Ali.

Beat Joe Frazier maybe?

I don't know what people expect him to say. He stated that he respected Ali etc and wouldn't be where he is today without them.

If he thinks he is better than Ali or Robinson then he's entitled to his opinion.

WBC/WBA welterweight and junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs) raised quite a few eyebrows over some of the comments that he made in his recent interview with Stephen A. Smith, which aired on ESPN First Take.

While he has a lot of respect for fighters like Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and Sugar Robinson - he says none of the fighters from the past were better than him.

"No one can ever brainwash me to make me believe that Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali was better than me," Mayweather said. "No one could ever brainwash me and tell me that. But one thing I will do, I'm going to take my hat off to them and respect those guys because those are the guys that paved the way for me to be where I'm at today."

Don't care who it is, but have to recognize floyds accomplishments and what he has done in boxing...I higly respect his boxing ability but he really can't compare himself to fighters in them eras.. For one In Ray robinson era it was all around tougher than now Adays. You had fighters fighting more frequently, fighting 15 rounds and training with inferior equipment... No ped in them times, and not 30 people in one corner or different coaches for stength training and things like that. I believe come May 2nd win or lose he will be hof guaranteed, maybe consider best fighter of HIS era.. Thats like comparing jordan to Kobe ,or Montana to Brady..

[PAC-BOY]

You are way to excited over "feeling" and "claiming" dude. I bet I could find an old thread where floyd said "I FEEL like I'm the best ever" and you'd be in there crying like usual.

I just "yet again" Tore you down. You re so easy. Not only have you avoided my question, to keep yourself like looking like even a bigger moron than you already are. I just owned the shlt out you by showing you that A feeling and claiming are two different things. As you said they were not. And this is your come back! :AOR:

[Rath]

Floyd isn't even great if he beats Manny? I guess you don't think much of Pacquiao then huh...

didn't floyd said Pac is a reckless, one dimensional, make a lot of mistakes, and 5 losses fighter?
