    Not a giant Floyd Mayweather supporter, but I don't think boxers should be suddenly looking outside the sport of boxing on how to conduct themselves 'You can dislike Mayweather personally, but remember his motto? Hard work, DEDICATION'.

    Hard Work, Dedication.

    Hard WORK, DEDICATION.

    Floyd Mayweather was a great champion, and honorable fighter.
    honorable? he was a drug cheat after going on for years and years about how he was "cleaning up boxing" then he got popped. yes we know they let him go but if you study it what he did made absolutely no sense and his reasons for doing it make no sense either. i was dehydrated...cept you werent since you only dropped 2 pounds as confirmed on 24/7 and you also took more than 10 times what is recommended for severe dehydration. the powers that be let him off hte hook but hes a stone cold cheater

      federer won at least 7 grand slams before rafa and djkovic ever were threats meaning he played in a weak era beating guys like rod****, hewitt, nalbandian, and davydenko. good players but not all time greats. when the era got tougher rafa and djokvoic won the majority of the grand slams and rafa and djokovic always had to beat an all time great or 2 to do it.

      rafa also has a better record against djokovic who is the other great of the era so i dont see how federer can be better. rafa is 10-6 against djokovic while federer is 6-11 vs djokovic overall. rafa has a winning record against djokovic at the french and us open while djovic leads at the australian and wimbledon. rafa has a winning record against federer at the australian and french while federer leads at wimbledon, they have never played at the us open. federer does not have a winning record against djokovic anywhere.

      just as many slams, tougher era, much better head to head and much better against djokovic than fed. yep he is better
      Meaning Federer was old by the time Rafa became great.

        Not for nothing but you're singing Mannys praises and trying to downplay Floyd's accomplishments. But you're conveniently leaving out that Floyd EASILY beat Manny.

          Floyd need to proclaim himself as the best because no one think he's even half to what he think.

              totally different personality if u cant see that then open your eyes brother. if floyd is doing what Pac and nadal are doing then i can also say the same thing to him. but you know it's not. i'm not being biased i'm just stating the facts. records are just there and i can say they are incredible but we are talking about classy act.

                Most all time great boxers come frow poverty or lower class but they still have class, humility, integrity, respect for greats, something Fraudweather severely lacks.

                  Why is Floyd so insecure? Because he knows he's a coward and a fraud and his career was rigged by haymon and the willing american establishment which needed a black star to sell. He knows he ducked and cheated many prime great fighters out of their shot at greatness - Williams, Cotto in 08, Margarito 06, Thurman, Pac in 2010, Spence, Crawford, GGG 154.

                  Floyd knows his duck list is the all time longest duck list in boxing history. Floyd knows Haymon rigged his career. Floyd knows Pac was the true hero true great of the era, who took all the risks and beat the best on his way to 8 divisions. Floyd knows his career was mapped out by fraudsters, he's a dimwit with no class, no respect but from a few fools who got dope a roped by the propaganda.

                    Only guys with giant egos would go through hell in training to beat another killer
                    You have no idea how massive the egos are in tennis. To lose in tennis is a lot more damaging to the ego than to lose in boxing or MMA.

                    Tennis is a game which yields the truth. A tennis match produces a winner and a loser. Or if some players feel the heat in the kitchen they sit out. In my decades of playing competitive tennis, I've noticed a strange rare phenomenon. Some good players are just terrified of the idea of playing matches
