    I like Mayweather but I'm surprised a reporter never followed up and ask him what fighters that you have beaten that made you the GOAT see with Ali you can say Fraizer Patterson Foreman Norton Liston etc with Mayweather what DLH Cotto Alvarez Heranandez Castillo Mosley while they are not bad fighters they don't seem to be as strong as Ali and then you have to factor in the time he fought them Cotto in 2011 while not shot was not Cotto from 2007 DLH in 2007 is not DLH from 2002 and Mosley in 2010 is not Mosley from 2001 again not short changing Floyd but come on

    Better than Ali? That's comedy gold right there. Ali fought the most feared HW fighters without a grumble.

    Floyd has some decent wins but let's be serious now, he's avoided the real threats for a very long time and fought fighters who have had success, not fighters that pose a real threat.

    The circle jerk crew hanging on Mayweather's every word once again. Man, you guys just love you some Floyd. And he says this stuff for a couple reasons. One, to get all you morons talking about him. There is no such thing as bad publicity and hook, line, and sinker here you morons go. Two, if any of you have ever played competitive sports at a high level, (which I doubt any of you have) you need to have confidence in yourself. If you don't you might as well not even take the court/field/ring. In order to be the best, you cannot accept that anyone's better than you. It's a mindset. Now obviously, he takes it a little far, but I guarantee he wouldn't be where he is today if he didn't think that highly of himself. You guys just love hanging on this dude's every word. I don't get it. I don't even care about this and I'm a fan of his.

    "The stats don't lie."

    Well, they do when some yes-man reporter allows you to to set out a wholly subjective and self-favoring criteria for GOAT-ship.

    Remember when the GOAT ducked Antonio Margarito.

    Crap like this is why some people daydream about Floyd stepping in the ring with Golovkin.

    Problem for Floyd is his mouth talks this trash

    No one calls him out on

    But his resume doesn't back him up

    why so Golovkin can be exposed and outclassed, and then labeled a cherrypick ?

    Void is a legend within his own mind..............

    Sergio Martinez has offered to fight Void at 154 or even at 150, but Void ran like a pig from a gun................Golovkin offered to come down to 154, but Void ran like a pig from a gun.................Void has been running from Pac for years now, Void is extremely afraid and it shows..........Void should not have a 154 lb. title if he refuses to defend it. Void is a fraud, he has pulled the wool over his ignorant fans' eyes. Ward's article made Void after to fight Khan, all because Ward said that Khan's speed and power would give Void lots of problems, so Void did not announce his next fight. Void believe he is a King, that he tells the boxing world what to do, tells the fans the same thing. Void is not P4P because he is a proven coward..............Void much fight Pac or retire. I don't want to see him anymore..........

    Floyd is not top 35 p4p. Ali is top 5 minimum. Floyd will never and could never be an atg. An atg is the top 30 p4p all time

    Ali is bigger than boxing... Floyd will NEVER reach that level.

    It does nothing to legitimize floyd as an all time great. Don't confuse marketability and name value with substance. That goes for pacquiao too.

    I respect Floyd speaking his mind, it's certainly interesting to see where he thinks he ranks with some of the ATG's.
