    First of all, I want to say I'm NOT a hater of Floyd Mayweather. He was great, great fighter, one of the best of all time. I think he clearly beat Maidana, ODLH and Pacquiao, and the only fight in which decision for Floyd could be questioned was the first Castillo fight. Floyd completely owned Canelo winning all 12 rounds on my card and Canelo proved to be a great fighter.

    But, as great as Floyd is in boxing, he is still awfully insecure person - yes, with all his achievements, money, recognition...

    Just read his qoutes from his most recent interview:

    Former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather feels confident in his belief that he's the greatest boxer of all-time

    In the last few years, the 43-year-old Mayweather has transitioned to a full-time promoter and trainer.

    Mayweather is not happy when critics rate him below the likes of legendary boxers like Muhammad Ali and Rocky Marciano.

    "Is Ali the same fighter that got beat by a fighter with seven fights? Leon Spinks beat Muhammad Ali when he only had seven fights. What’s the heavyweight guy that Ali fought three times, Ken Norton? Ken Norton really beat Ali three times, go back and look at the fights," Mayweather said to Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay.

    "Out of all these guys in the history of boxing, I have accomplished more than every fighter in the history of boxing. How many world champions have Rocky Marciano beat? So we already know, I beat more champions that’s going in the hall of fame."

    Mayweather is also annoyed with critics who believe WBC strawweight champion Wanheng Menayothin has eclipsed his undefeated run.

    Menayothin of Thailand, in 2018, raised his undefeated record to 51-0. He is now 54-0 and is scheduled to go for win number 55 in November.

    "I’m 50-0 for a reason. Right now they got a fighter that’s over in Asia that’s 54-0 and they say, ‘This is the new TBE,’ because he’s about to retire," Mayweather said.

    "I said, ‘Y’all telling me about this fighter that fought one world champion?’ He’s 54-0 and only beat one world champion? This is who y’all are trying to call TBE? Okay, y’all are some comedians."

    floyd is definitely insecure.
    i mean his only claim to fame is in the ring, and i just can't imagine not being able to read to my children (i dont have any, but i made a very strong bond with my mate's little boy and learnt to read to him in danish while his head rested on my shoulder)

    Rings brains, Floyd's a genius. Real world brains, he's still a spoiled 14yo. He couldn't apply critical thinking if his life depended on it.

    Floyd`s trying to hype a fight between him and the new TBE.

    Mayweather won't cope, so more YouTuber fights incoming :lol:

    5 more.

    I am predicting.. Vikstar, Aneson Gib, Riley Dennis, Blaire White and topping it all off with Ricky Berwick.


    Mayweather has ZERO shame and before you say anything about Riley Dennis or Blaire White.. Mayweather won't have any problems hitting a transwoman, he's proved this in the past he doesn't have a problem hitting a woman.

    Did anyone expect Mayweather to be Mr Humble in the interview?

    Mayweather is called Money Mayweather for a reason, damn see the money he and fellow motormouth McGregor made for a boxing match between them, a amateur boxer vs a former multi weight World boxing title holder and folk shelled out big money to watch it.

    Mayweathers theme tune.

    Mayweather is the Trump of boxing - spouts a lot of lies.

    Floyd ducked too many fighters to be considered anywhere near TBE. Compare his best wins, including the full context of each win, against other real TBE contenders and it's not even close.

    Apart from waiting 5 years forManny to age and then scraping past (I believe Pac won on damage done) him in one of the most underwhelming big fights of all time, bringing JMM up two weight classes to fight at a carchweight and then missing weight himself was a win not even worth considering in his resume.

    Like Frodo making it to Mordor and claiming he is the greatest warrior of all time, but in reality, he snuck in there.

    Floyd is entitled to his opinion and he has earned the right to his opinion. All fighters have egos and the greater the fighter is the greater their ego. Floyd does not believe Sugar Ray Robinson and Mohammed Ali were better than him which goes to show his mindset as a great fighter. The greatest fighters don’t think anyone was better. You really think Thomas Hearns thinks Hagler and Leonard were better? I remember an interview many years ago when Thomas Hearns was asked who was the best fighter ever. He paused thought about and said all said and done it had to be him.

    Do you know Mayweather has brown eyes?? Thats because he's so full of bull**** The idiot REALLY thinks he can compare to the greats Ali, Robinson etc. He had the natural God Given Talent to be an ATG, but got cursed by having the cojones of a gnat. Blatant cowards dont make ATG's

    It's not about Ali or Robinson, it's not about ego, it's about Floyd being very insecure person. Because he is clearly annoyed by the fact that people are calling 54-0 Moonsri TBE while they aren't doing it seriously, they are just kidding.

    Never heard of Moonsri perhaps Floyd is really saying like Larry Holmes said about Rocky Marciano that he could not carry his jockstrap. Some might find it in poor taste which is understandable though all I am saying is he ha earned the right to his opinion.

    To be fair he's not wrong that Ken Norton had the better of Ali in those three fights but the rest is all nonsense.

    Dude cmon now Trump is lied about a lot more than he lies and it's embarrassing to shove this silly notion of yours into every conversation possible. Get over your hatred of the orange man.

    Floyd wouldn’t fight Canelo at 154.

    Ali fought Foreman after seeing him destroy Frazier.

    Floyd talks like a social media casual fan who’s trying to debate on statistics.
