Rafael Nadal is the greatest tennis champion of all time, but he would never say it and he modestly humbly even disagrees and says Roger Federer is the greatest even though Rafa has a much better head to head record vs Federer and he's won the same total of 20 Grand Slam singles titles despite being 5 years younger than Roger. Cleary Rafa is superior on the court and on paper.
Mayweather is the opposite, always putting down and discrediting all time great fighters and modern greats. Floyd's insecurity and jealousy are embarrassing and shameful. No great champion acts like that, they all admire and appreciate greatness, not feel threatened by it. Floyd truly is a fraud pretender who even confessed twice that he's a coward and he's ok with it.
Read the words of a true class champion, Rafael Nadal.
Q I know you've been asked many times, but how would you like to be remembered after you retire?
Nadal: For me, by far! The personal issue is more important than the professional one. I always say that I would like to be remembered as a good person, good people, much more than a champion or anything else. Because, in the end, victories, titles, are moments of happiness, euphoria, adrenaline, success, but all of this is temporary and I have always been very clear about that; the success and interest that you generate in people, in companies, is something temporary. That interest is for what I do, not for what I am. The important thing is that the people who know you have a positive opinion of you, the image that is transferred to the world can be manufactured.
"I'm nothing to argue about. Life already gives you problems big enough to turn our little problems into huge problems.
