    Even if you dont agree with Floyd’s ranking, you still have to respect it. Can we really blame him? If you were in his shoes as an undefeated, almost billionaire boxer, you probably would think of yourself as the greatest too.

    Brashness, arrogance whatever you want to call it. Floyd mayweather was able to remain undefeated for all those years because his confidence blows through the roof. It’s on a different level and that’s what makes him Floyd mayweather.

    If you were him, you wouldnt think you are better than Robinson? It’s his opinion

    Did Floyd mention his loss to Castillo?

    This is the same guy that promotes his fighters by talking about himself. When he was promoting the Stevenson-Jack fight Floyd barely said a word about Jack and only talked about himself.

    "honest and brash". More like delusional. FlIVds an idiot. Ali wipes his A$$ with FlIVds resume. Lil FlIVd isnt even top 25.

    Hearns was better than Floyd, Whitaker and Chavez, Julio v Tommy would have been like Duran v Hearns, he would have destroyed him.

    Typical narcinistic answer from a clown ROFL
    1..Ali was a heavyweight he could hardly box any any other weight
    2...Ali didnt have a State Commission & Vegas Boxing covering his ass..... Mayweather did they saved him having several losses
    3...Ali...was banned for 3 1/2 years of his prime..... Floyd was never banned.......... Though he probably should have been See # 2
    Floyd isnt fit to carry Ali's jockstrap.. Courtesy Larry Holmes
    He isnt in top 30

    I remember this. ESPN had no boxing on their network at the time so he was always getting interviewed by football guys who knew nothing about this sport. There's another interview from around the same time with a man and a woman, where they offer ESPN's take on the top 5 alongside of Floyd's list. The man says something like, "I'd never heard of this Henry Armstrong fellow."

    Or Maidana & the 2 DQ's he should have had against Ortiz & Judah or the N/C that should have been the result of May/Pac

    Ignorance and egomania are nothing to be respected. We should only have contempt for such things.

    ROFLMAO It you knew SAB you'd know Floyd should have 5 losses if all was fair & above board. If he'd fought Margarito that would make 6 & ended his career & he knew it
