    Floyds mainly associated with cherry picking, ducking and lay offs and not haven fought any one who was prime and in his own division.

    So Floyds career path and choices dont lend itself to being TBE.

      I thought Mayweather was smarter than that. To say this just before the big fight? Remember there's 3 men judging the fight and it's likely those older guys really respect the legacy of Ali. With Mayweather pointing to his undefeated record as evidence of being better than Ali... A couple of the judges might easily be inclined to score rounds for Pacman.

        I try to not get caught in the Floyd / anti-floyd debates, but I have to weigh in on class. Class is a SOCIO-ECONOMIC term. Which means your social standing is directly tied to your economic status. The only way to have class in the true meaning of the word is to have a certain amount of money. The meaning has been diluted over time, and now people think of things such as modesty as classy, when in fact it is not. Just because YOU associate something as classy does not change the origin of what the word truly means. If you want to see people as arrogant as Floyd with no manners to others go to any country club in America.

        As far as the TBE comments go, any athlete that does not believe that he is the best ever will NEVER reach ATG status. Pac, Marquez, Brady,
        kobe, etc. Every athlete can be criticized for past performances, even Floyd. As I said before, it is called SELF-ESTEEM, and there is nothing wrong with that.

            Everybody that they lined up and said this is the guy that will beat Floyd lost in dominating fashion. Explain to me who was so dangerous that Mayweather ducked him? To me he fought everybody they put in front of him. Manny is the icing on the cake. But yall gone make an excuse after he whoop his ass. He has a right to his own opinion.

              Oh yeah Ricky Hatton is not no damn HOF, so why is he on that list. Neither is Zab Judah .. And he cheated Marquez on the scales you can take him off that list too.. And Canelo was drained.

              No matter how you slice it, Floyd is not on Alis level, just stop it.

              Floyds claim to being better than Ali is being undefeated.. So Joe Calzaghe is also better than Ali with that logic.
              Read your first sentence and didn't bother to continue.

                Complete and utter bull****. Do you know how I know for a fact they will be talking about Floyd and his accomplishments 30 years from now? Broner. People that actually hate Floyd's guts were OFFENDED at Broner thinking he was as good as Floyd. Users that I go back and for with everyday where defending Floyd like I would. That's appreciation for someone's greatness.

                  who cares what floyd thinks. everyone has their own opinion. floyd calls himself TBE but i dont agree with it and thats fine. i mean maybe floyd shouldnt have come out and said it but he did and thats his opinion.

                    Shame on an ATG boxer calling himself the best ever. How could anyone be so confident in their abilities? What a scumbag.

                      Floyd saying he's greater than Ali is like LeBron James saying he's greater than Michael Jordan. All you can do is laugh and roll your eyes.
