Comments Thread For: Mayweather Explains Why He's TBE, Better Than Past Greats

[Szef]

if you gotta explain why you're the best and keep reminding people that you're the best, odds are you ain't the best

Took the words out of my mouth.

brilliant

i think the argument regarding most champions faced. when you consider just how watered-down being a "champion" is, with multiple choices to choose from. it eliminates the impressiveness of the statement

especially when you consider when he fought some of them, and the stipulations (flashback to the maidana everlast mx incident...)


im sorry floyd, as a fan of boxing. its just not true.
he made money, set up big events and certainly is a historical boxing figure.
i just cant put him up there

Exactly.

It's not hard to beat so many world champions in this era of boxing considering there's 17 odd weight classes and about 5 belts in each class. Look at the amount of bums/trash that have become world champions such as Judah, Baldomir, Berto, Ortiz etc. Nowadays it's a surprise if you haven't won a belt considering they're on sale everywhere

Floyd is on the top-20 but no way he is the best ever.

[g27region]

He earned the right to think this way

Greatest Businessman, hands down! Carries himself well...Great at opponent selection too!
