Who gives a ****, Mike Tyson said he was the best, if your a dedicated fighter and you think you can beat anyone, you have all the right to say your the best of all time, do I think so? no, but he has the potential to be. Do you think Kobe's the best, well he's damn close so let him claim he is. Like I said in another post History will be the judge, so who the **** cares what we think now. IMHO as a fighter you have to think you can beat anyone, you have to believe in you skill, it's all mental, & If you feel you can beat anyone ever, then that your prerogative.Comment

2 Things people have to remember when comparing Mayweather to the past greats.
1: Current fighters are always harder to judge than fighters through history. People might be like, oh, He wasted a match on so-and-so.... but then in a few years so-and-so goes on to beat other top competition and gain titles.
2: People need a foil in boxing. Floyd doesn't really have one. Even if they're not as good as eachother great fighters usually need another fighter at the same time who is similar to their arch-nemesis. Ali had Frazier, Robinson had Lamonta, etc. They don't nescesarily have to have a bunch of fights but often times unless they have somebody to truly push themselves against in the meat of their career people often look past them without their memorable bouts against their arch rival.
History will be kinder to Floyd than the current boxing public is... that's for damn sure.Comment
