Why is Floyd Mayweather, Jr., so arrogant?

[hugh grant]

In the aftermath it's easy to say that the man didn't take risk, okay he kinda avoided Pac for a long time, Ok, he didn't fight Margarito - But he beat the former generation and the new generation back to back almost, how is that not taking risks? This is boxing, and Floyd has one of the most risky styles you can have.

Simply what I'm saying is risk is relative. Floyd fighting PAC is less risky than jmm fighting PAC once, let alone 4 times. And PAC is Floyd's best win and so called riskiest fight

He's one of the best defensive boxers ever, but was only willing to test it against a smaller man than himself

You gotta remember that Floyd came from the lower weight too, and early in his career met many foes bigger than him. No Floyd wasn't the greatest risktaker, but looking at his resume overall, it's too easy saying that because he avoided 1 or 2 fighters, he's not a risktaker. Look at his rematches, they were close fights were Floyd took a risk and faced them again.

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.

1) He has fought his entire life, you dont train hard to say someone else is better than you....before your time or during your time

2) from a technical standpoint he is better than Ali was.....Ali had no inside game, was a sucker for a left hook, didnt parry jabs, threw a lot of arm punches

3) Its all about whats your preference....Is ali better because he faced more adversity and came through or is Maywetaher greater because he was more dominant over a similar length career

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.

Well, he's also had two favorable decisions against JLC1, and Maidana 1. At least by my measure.

[Dean_Razorback]

probably because he has an inferiority complex

[eco1]

he takes advantages, lies, he cheats and then he believes he is really the best when if fighting in equal conditions he would be rocked and ko'd

[therealpugilist]

Because arrogance and trash talk sells. I'm sure Floyd probably really does think he is the greatest, but whether you agree with that claim or not, can anyone deny that he at least has a strong argument for being the greatest?

He has an argument


Look at it from a standpoint like this....Skillwise there are only a handful of fighters that exhibited the know how that he has...he is unanimously considered the greatest fighter of his generation. Only thing a fighter can do is fight who is in his era. The ones that truly mattered, he fought them and beat them Clearly.


When comparing great fighters its hard to base it off resume because some fighters fought in deeper eras than other and others IMO were just better


it depends on preference


its simple as this to me...who would I favor over a prime Mayweather at his best weights from 130-140...thats a ten pound swing....honestly no one.....only fighters that would be even Money are Duran, Whitaker, Henry Armstrong, maybe Aaron Pryor


The best fighters I've ever watched fight and Ive seen them all is a prime Mayweather, Whitaker, Roy Jones, Ray Robinson, Ali......youd be hard pressed to favor anyone over these guys at there best

If you can walk the walk you can talk the talk. That applies to every area of life.

Why do people complain about a combatants attitude? They're fighters. I'm not putting them down towards a general scholar of character, but softies complain on another man's business. women can complain about a man. that's fine and fair, but in boxing, to complain about a guy's character - which comes in all sorts of colors - is just ******...

IF a man is talking sheeet to you directly, then you do something about it. But again, it's boxing, violence-art-entertainment-sports.

You want to complain about arrogance go to a presidential debate forum and complain about Trump.

Why is he so arrogant?


This mother ****er got more money then your whole family tree combined dating back to christopher colombus era..... He can do whatever the hell he wants.


If you made $20 million a night a couple times a year you better believe your hating ass would be spending all that **** on ******* and partying just like Floyd.
