Why is Floyd Mayweather, Jr., so arrogant?

[Quiksilva]

The video says it all. Even the interviewer had his eyes wide open like he was SHOCKED (thinking.. what the ****?!)

Anyway to TMT and Mayweather fans, do you agree with what he says in the video?

If so why? (please be specific in your statement)

Mayweather: I'm the best fighter ever, Ali is just Mediocre.

Hes just confident. Every fighter should think they are the best. As far as Ali being mediocre i dont agree with that but skill for skill floyd is better than Ali ,ali is still the greatest though.

I watched the video. No mention of Ali being mediocre. IMHO Mayweather is probably the greatest of all time when you look at it purely in terms of boxing skill, but Muhammad Ali has the greater legacy.

It's easy to hit a nerve with Floyd. He knows -- we all know -- he's not going to kick anybody's ass, certainly nowhere near 147. He's going to fight a brilliant defensive fight, and the opponent is going to walk away handsome and bright.

Kudos to Mayweather for exploiting the system beautifully. But his career reflects what's wrong with boxing today. His resume is filled with mediocre "champions" with belts that don't mean anything anymore, and with fights that involved all kinds of cute tactics....but very little real fighting.

You define a great fighter by his victories. Who did he beat in their prime? In Mayweather's case...nobody special.

Hes one of the greatest to ever laced therm up. He's beaten everyone put in front of him, kinda hard to not be arrogant.

[SugarRayCurtain]

when did he say ali is mediocre in that interview??

If you become king of something, a lot of people will call you arrogant too.

You're only fooling yourself.

You're only fooling yourself.

Floyd isn't the best of this era. You have to take risks to be the best it not about being unbeaten considering people think Floyd got 2 or 3 losses already.
