People need to not get riled up by Floyd's remarks. Clearly Mayweather says things to get attention. You could be damn sure that he, his uncle, and his father...all know deep down that he does not belong in the same sentence as Robinson, Ali, and some of the other all time greats. As for Hearns...Floyd would get his butt beat all the way back to Michigan if he fought the Hitman. People sometime need to look back at history to appreciate the talent of certain era's and the willingness of those fighters to face each other. You are talking about a time when you had Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, and Duran...FOUR LEGENDS. None of this is to say Floyd isn't a great fighter...but he simply doesn't have the resume to back the BS that comes out of his mouth. But you have to give him credit for playing the villain well...he sells fights and tickets. But, unfortunately for him...no amount of money will ever make him regarded as a better fighter than many of the greats from the past.
