    lol..this dude is delusional and DUMB, imo..he's not even better than Sugar Ray Leonard whom he would not have been able to even hit. Tommy Hearns AND Marvin Hagler would of destroyed this punk, forget about what Roberto Duran would have done to him...

    “Yep, I’m better than Muhammad Ali! Sugar Ray Robinson? Yep, I’m better than Sugar Ray Robinson! I would never say it’s another fighter better than me. Absolutely none,” boasted the confident and brash Floyd Mayweather Jr. on the latest episode of 24/7 Mayweather/Mosley. Say what? Better than Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson? It’s true that all fighters should be confident and feel as though no one can beat them, however, those feelings are generally reserved for fighters that are still actively fighting.

    i thnk mayweather could take sugar ray. I dont like mayweather much as a person but I am learning to respect him. He is very smart in the ring and has all the boxing ability in the world.The adjustments he makes on the fly are genius. To say all those ould knock him around Id say your a bit delusional. His punching power now if he has a weakness that is it but as far as hearns or hagler man I seriously doubt it.

    I dont know I was very impressed last night with him, he can make himself virtually unhittable he is just so ring savy.

    Not sure why you mentioned Hagler, he fought at middleweight. Because of his amazing reach and power,  Hearns would be dangerous against any fighter at 147 or 154. Remember though, he was KO 3 times. Sugar Ray Leonard would have been a hell of a matchup. Duran was my favorite fighter growing up, but he had plenty of trouble with good boxers. Mayweather is more than just good as we know by now. I'm not a fan of Mayweather outside the ring, but you can't deny his greatness.

    Mayweather is great, but not better than those guys, could you see Floyd fighting 200 fights, 12-14 fights a year?, he couldn't last, he barely made it to the end with Jose Luis Castillo at 135. And don't forget that alot of those fights were 15 rounds.

       Also Robinson would not have ducked anyone, he fought LaMotta 6 times (including 2 times in 1 month) , Floyd won't even fight Manny or Margarito.

    That is all you got, maybe Mayweather had food poisoning that night I mean it was ONE FIGHT and he won by decision anyways. It doesnt really matter what you think happened he won the fight

    Mayweather will be 70 years old and 43-0 and dehoyos will be yelling Jose Luis Castilo

    That is all you got, maybe Mayweather had food poisoning that night I mean it was ONE FIGHT and he won by decision anyways. It doesnt really matter what you think happened he won the fight

    Mayweather will be 70 years old and 43-0 and dehoyos will be yelling Jose Luis Castilo

    Floyd will be the only fighter at 70 years old that still cares what the public thinks about him.....

    Thats why he spotted Elie Seckbach as soon as he showed up in the Welfare Team Gym....It takes "hardwork and dedication." to keep up with all the true boxing fans calling out him and his butt-plug homie Fitty Bent...

    His black *ss knows he aint really undefeated...True undefeated fighters dont walk around saying "41 up 41 down." (See JC SuperStar when he beat down Roger in 85)

    Keep duckin may is very selective and careful when he selects opponents. He watches film of pacman and knows he can't beat him. Just watchin film I bet he starts to swallow, sweat, stutter, and shit bricks. Just like in all of his interviews when pac is mentioned.

    If Mayweather says it then it has to be 100% fact.

    I mean he already said that Pacman refuses to take a drug test. Oh wait I forgot he lies to the public when he says that becuase Pacman has said on record multiple times he would take a drug test just not a drug test administered by the group that Mayweather wants doing the testing and he doesnt want to take a test right before the fight but will take one immediately after the fight.

    but in reality mayweather is top 30 ever, if you just look at all of the guys that he has fought and do not be biased against the guy because he is an arrogant prick, who at times has seemed to have lost touch with reality, top 30 is reasonable, but for him to say that he is the best ever, is simply wrong, floyd and his whole team are delusional, guys like SAM LANGFORD, HENRY ARMSTRONG, SUGAR RAY ROBINSON, ROBERTO DURAN, RAY LEONARD would of tanned his ass up, to me  PERNELL WHITAKER would of out boxed him, I would pick IKE WILLIAMS to put a beatdown on floyd and if floyd had all of those problems with jose luis castillo how would he have fared against guys like BEAU JACK, BOB MONTGOMERY, TONY CANZONERI,? floyd vs ARRON PRYOR OR ALEXIS ARGUELLO? could floyd have beaten SANDY SADDLER at 130 or 135? I say no,  for floyd to say he is the best ever, that is like ALLEN IVERSON saying he is the best basketball player ever, he is one of the best, but certainly not the best

    Can't believe he ducked anyone as much as he fought, Burley must have been great, LaMotta and Conn also avoided Burley.

    eddie futch called burley the greatest fighter that he had ever saw, and in reality he saw them all, burley was a little like winky wright in this era, or mike mccallum in the last, he was a guy that did not have a huge following, so their was not a lot of money in fighting him, but their was great risk to get a loss if you did, robinson was a buisness man first and foremost, and financially to him it most likely did not make sense, so the fight never happened, ARCHIE MOORE also called burley the best fighter that he ever faced as well,   moore's original opponent pulled out of their fight the day of the fight, they called burley, he was working his day job at the airport, burley said he would take the fight, he then finished off his shift as a loader at the airport, flew from pittsburgh to chicago and then kicked the shit out of the one the greatest of all time, amazing,  burley worked a day job throughout most of his career, shit imagine how much better that he could of been if he did not have to work and could focus only on boxing, burley was a defensive master as well as a big puncher, would he have beaten robinson?  It almost seems disrespectful to say yes, but in reality it's a pick em type of fight,   burley also had an interesting philosophy on his situation, during and interview he was asked about the fact that everyone knew that he was one of the best but that he never recieved a shot at a title, he was asked if he had resentment towards robinson becasue of all the money and success that he had and burley said when god asked who wants to be sugar ray robinson, walker smith put up his hand first.
