Mayweather Says He's Not The Greatest, But The Best

[Kev]

He wasn't claiming he wasn't the greatest because he doesn't have the wins, just that the title of 'the greatest' was Ali's catchphrase and therefore he's made up his own, being 'the best ever'.

He still thinks he's the best fighter ever, just he doesn't want to use a phrase coined by Ali, he wants people to sum up his legacy using his own catchphrase.

That's even more arrogant if you ask me.

Yeah I was gonna say thats not how it came off to me.

He does at one point say he might be just one of the best Whatever, either way its not a big deal. I would actually agree with the idea that he's not the greatest (as in he doesn't have the accomplishments) but he is one of the best (as in he's one of the most talented fighters ever.)

The title got me I guess this was just a sympathetic reach to Majesty but you guys ruined it. Floyd doesn't talk about his personal life? He'll say bad things about family but won't talk about women? Kind of.

Fair enough. I think he is too. He's the best right now, and because of advancements in the sport and athletic technology, he would beat any greats of the past. It's only common sense.
I think that's just a realistic view. He's said it how it is since the beginning. Remember, it isn't bragging if you can back it up
