Floyd Mayweather says he is the “best boxer ever,” better than Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson. Then goes on to slate Ali saying how he lost to a fighter that only had seven fights, saying that Ali should never have got any respect for the rope-a-dope, where Ali would tire out his opponents then beat them.
Mayweather said: “No one can ever brainwash me to make me believe that Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali was better than me. No one could ever brainwash me and tell me that.”
“I feel like I’ve done just as much in this sport as Ali did. There’s no disrespect to Ali, I just feel like I’m the best, no different from how he called himself ‘The Greatest,’ I call myself ‘TBE.’”
“Ali got beat by a fighter with seven fights, Leon Spinks defeated Muhammad Ali when he only had seven fights.
“Spinks beat him when he had seven fights. They'd never put a fighter in there with Floyd Mayweather with seven fights. So you gonna tell me that it's cool to lay on the ropes and take punishment and let a man tire himself out from beating you and then he basically fatigued? You hit him with a few punches and he go down and quit, and you want to be glorified for that?
“Ken Norton beat Ali three times, go back and look at the fights.”
“I am the best boxer EVER.”
