- Floyd Mayweather tells BBC Sport that "as of right now" he is "completely out" of boxing and rumours of a rematch with Manny Pacquiao are "totally false". Mayweather also believes he has earned the right to call himself the "best ever" after going undefeated throughout his 49 career fights.

Maybe its because I'm not as emotional as many boxing fans but I genuinely dont care if he feels he is the best ever. There is nothing wrong with believing your the best. Personally I cant pick 1 fighter as the best because its too complicated but he's definitely up there. Floyd has a style that is almost impossible to beat and whether you say hes boring is irrelevant. We're not talking about entertainment. We're talking about effectiveness. Watching Floyd fight is like reading the "Art of War." Some people appreciate the strategy and intelligence of it whilst others are too blood thirsty and brain dead to understand it.
+031ish God dam you nailed it with this statement mate i agree, but i personally believe floyd is the best ever without a doubt.Everything else you said is on point especially the art of war reference i like that...lol
I concur. Well said.👏
+031ish I thought about it once and if i was floyd's father id teach him to win and to hell with the fans. You spend your life getting your face punched while people cheer for more. Heck with fans you gotta take care of yourself.
Someone who gets it.Well said !
+031ish so well said.
like Floyd has said the art of boxing is to hit and not get hit simple as that
jesus briseno
ok? go in to the boxring and run away.
Lol
Pac hit Floyd and got hit less.
Floyd's tip taps on Pacs gloves shouldn't count
absolutely not..........it is not as simple as that..........boxing is also entertainment.
Hater's page and you'll be 100 years old trying to figure out what 50-0 means. Hit without taking too many shots...what the fuck is soooooo hard to accept about that? Talk your shit but it's too late too even matter cause he retired UNDEFEATED! How many fighters have done that in boxing history? Maybe 1 or 2 waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day.
I dont know about TBE but he is definately one of the best ever.And even if he isnt TBE, he has earned the right to call himself that if he wants too.

Tyson said it best when talking about wilders comments about being able to take tyson in his prime, "he has a right to think that, hes the champion, you dont get to be a champion while thinking you can lose to anyone".
@Scott Johnson which sugar ray
Sick athlete period. Seen all his fights. Master
ALL of them?
@@itzsnickers7144 since pro
@@mrczz6690 that's kinda crazy
He wasn't better than the Sweet pea
@@andrebonilla4286 He was tbh
Well he actually is the best boxer ever. No one has mastered the actual art as good as he has.
Been a boxing historian/ fan for 35 yr and this young man's skills and ring craft is quite sublime.
Floyd hands down is the best ever... People choose to ignore his skills because they dislike him.. the guy moves around the ring after he stands right in front of you and makes you miss multiple times and still counters on his own.. how can you possibly be blind enough not to see the skills he has shown over the years... #respect to Floyd.. from a boxing student
How can you argue with a perfect record?🤔
+State Boogie you really cant unless you have 49-0 with 43 of them by ko....oh and at heavyweight nearly 60 years before.....
+x1tehbear1x ? So weight class determines how good you are or does winning and stats matter? Boxing is a point system and the less punches you take the less points your opponent gets so that would make him the best
+State Boogie Toughness of opponents and style
PERFECT RECORD DON'T DEFINE SHIT. IN ORDER TO BE THE BEST, THE GREATEST YOU GOTTA BE ACCEPTED BY THE PEOPLE (which he do he got fans). The "Perfect record" statement is a bull shit.
He's not he lost several fights, he was the cash cow so that why. He won when he should've lost
I will miss Floyd so much when he leaves, he was such an exciting fighter... No one knows how to run and hug like this man, truly the best ever!
+jukijunk HE'S DONE.... HE RETIRED.... AND I DONT THINK PEOPLE WILL GO TO SEE HIS FIGHTS ANYMORE.... BOXING IS HAPPY HE'S DONE....
+jesus7es7dios7 yet he is still the most talked about boxer months after retirement 😂
jukijunk nothing was exciting about him running around like an idiot
jukijunk 50-0
And please add his greatness in ducking fighters in their prime, feigning retirement to avoid rematch.
He's just a confident dude, which is good. Why y'all hating when he says he's the best ever? I know he ain't the greatest ever, but there are lots of people who believe in themselves.
Muhammad ali is the greatest boxer of all time...but floyd mayweather is the best boxer of all time. .
Finally someone gets it.
So true, Ali is the greatest but Floyd has so much Skill People who doubt him have Never been in the Ring
steven seagal um yeah their heavyweights and floyds natural weight is 130 come on lol
Hugo B mayweather can beat tyson?
el nino jr say that to mayweather then
Mu7amed Ali best
Never like Floyd, always rooted against him. Now that he has left real boxing I gotta admit he is the best I've ever seen
The most advanced ever 😌😴💯
Right on man !!!!! You the best. Undefeated perfect record along with pretty much perfect health.
N.B.P
mo props to ya Floyd.
Don't hate Floyd, hate the so called fighter that you said would beat Floyd but got his ass whipped
The Curious Case of Floyd Mayweather
1.Canelo Was Too Young For Floyd But Not For Cotto
2. Cotto Was Too Old For Floyd At 32 But not Too Old For Canelo At 34
3. Floyd Ducked Margarito Who Got KO'd By Mosley
4. Mosley Was Good When Beating Margarito but Was Too Old The VERY Next Fight Vs Floyd.
5. Marquez Was Too Small For Floyd But KO'd Manny.
6. Floyd Dodged Manny Until Manny Got Old When Floyd is 2 Years Older Because Floyd Never Gets Old.
7. Floyd Cherry Picked & beat An Old Oscar While Manny Didn't Cherry Pick An Older & Weight Drained Oscar.
8. Oscar A Cherry Pick At 34, Cotto Is A Great Fighter At 34, & Floyd Is Not Washed Up At 38
9. Zab Judah Wasn't Good.
10. Baldomor Beat Zab But Floyd Cherry Picked Him Too
11. Maidana Gave Floyd A Good First Fight But Floyd Cherry Picked The Rematch
12. Yeah Floyd beat Diego Corrales But That Was A Long Time Ago
13. Floyd KO'd An Undefeated Hatton But Manny Did It Quicker Because Hatton Wasn't A Shot Fighter By Then..
#TBE

May God bless you for this comment where ever you are. Thank you very much.
Factssssss
Best comment on UA-cam 🦅
1. Marquez KO'D manny after four fights. Suspected of PEDs. Chest acne is visible and a sign of it. Wouldnt be surprised if true since the guy drank urine hoping to finally beat Pacquiao.
2. Floyd never got to fight Marquez more than once.
3. Floyd hugged Mosley's hand after getting sucker punched to avoid a knock out. (Because this shows how great you are lol)
4. Punches Ortiz whilst making amends, and calls it "smart" "protect yourself at all time", because controversial fights like this make you "the greatest"
4. Because excessive clinching makes you "THE GREATEST"
Mayweather is one of greatest boxers in history, and by what I mean is,perfect example of the fundamentals of boxing and thinking ability and setting traps is what makes him great, and that's just my opinion, so I can respect that, but remember some fighters have surpassed 70 or more before there first defeat, but also remember that wasn't our era
Facts Floyd is the greatest of all time
Nopeeeee
If Ali never existed
Νo he is not even in top 5
Floyd is very talented enjoy watching him fight
Jack Johnson is the greatest and most important boxer of all time. But as far as perfecting the art, the science of boxing, and mastering the business side, there's no one better than Floyd Jr. and probably never will be.
Go for the damn record floyd!!!!
He isn’t as cocky and isn’t doing the bad guy act in front of British cameras. He appreciates the British fans and the British fans adore a good boxer and there’s no denying mayweather is a great boxer.... he’s never been beaten ever!
Yes I am
Floyd "Money" Mayweather I like this Floyd mayweather..... you got thousands of British fans here. We like a humble Floyd! ❤️ lend us some "money" mayweather 😂😂💵🇬🇧🗼🎡😘😘
I dont really think you can compare Ali with mayweather -heavyweight /super featherweight. I've never seen a man of Ali's size move the way he did -and I've never seen a better defensive artist than Mayweather. they're both up there with the very best.
The best boxer of my lifetime? Sugar Ray Leonard ,no doubt .
Nah

@@MF-Rell Yes, brother. Yes.
floyd is better
Tyson fury has entered the chat
Wilder could probably beat ali
Floyd mayweather may seem arrogant but he does show and prove.
winning all your fights makes you an excellent boxer..a great..but doesn't mean you are the best ever. Did you fight great fighters in their prime? At their accustomed weight? Did you cherry pick alot?
Imran Ali Floyd Mayweather beat 19 World Champions. What are you talking about?
@@Dercudez right? I dont think hes the goat, but i also dont think anyone is. Records arent the end all be all as far as viability goes. Theres way too many factors to consider when discussing what makes a boxer the best. Showmanship, striking power, records, agility, being able to take a hit, etc.
TBE thank you for giving us all the great fights your truly missed.
TSE=THE SMARTEST EVER
Smart my ass. He can't even read.
@@BigBoss7777777 he reads his opponents better than anyone
@King Savage lmao at flexing another man's money. Pathetic. And no he ain't even close to be being the richest man in sports. Jordan and Tiger Woods are both way richer.
So far, I haven’t see anyone better than him.
what I love about him is that he says he is tbe after he has proven himself. he talks what he has achieved.
some people may not agree that he's the best ever but no doubt he's the best boxer in this era
He says the same thing in every interview
Things haven't changed and have they??
He's still undefeated
GOAT
floyd looking so fly 👌👍👊
I never paid any attention to Floyd until the McGregor vs Mayweather fight and he actually surprised me, a very smart, calm, strategic and most of the times honest human being, I personally consider Mike Tyson to be the best and most unique boxer ever and I am still a McGregor fan but Floyd got himself another fan as well because of the way he behaves. On top of that, he doesn't fall for fake news lol.
foh best runner next to mr.jenner
Sugar ray robinson had like 130 fights before his first lost and fought sometimes twice a week ... Also had more kbockouts on his record then most fighters career fights
@Blackflag he fought alot of nobodys
Can drivers and people who work 9-5 jobs don't count as opponents
He is the GOAT!
Anyone watching in 2019?
SRR is my TBE
SRR was not a better infighter than floyd. Floyd's skill is SRR's developed.
Here right before the mayweather fight
No one and I mean NO ONE will be better than Muhammed Ali
Rip GOAT
Playboi Juice okay I'd be okay if you said someone like mike Tyson is better but the fact that you said Floyd is better than ali makes me wanna laugh.
Playboi Juice you clearly haven't been in the boxing scene for very long. Floyd is good no doubt but that's all any boxer has been nowadays just good or okay. If you think back to before 2000 there were top notch boxers. Boxers these days are nothing compared to pre 2000.
Playboi Juice okay yea I definetly know you haven't been around for very long. Your sensitivity to me saying that says it all. I didn't even insult you and you started being a baby. Floyd has good defense yes but that's it. His offense is average. Whereas Mohammad Ali has great defense and great offense. Or mike Tyson had great defense and phenomenal offense.
Cynical Movement Ali was not good going forwards. Brilliant defensive artist with an inimitable style.you're entitled to your view though. Ali was my all time favourite boxer.
Sugar Ray Leonard was a better boxer than Ali, so was Roy Jones Jr, Pernell Whitaker, Mike McCallum, Charley Burley, Floyd Mayweather, James Toney, etc etc.....why? Ali had a kryptonite which was found out early in his career. The left hook landed on Ali every time.
Skill for skill , Greatest boxer of all time
Check out my boxing channel if it's not too much trouble
+TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND lol athletes get better over time , Robinson would not beat Floyd , Leonard ..hagler ... He boxed in an era of kill or be killed ... He fought guys who were gonna be punching bags , stylistically he would be in trouble vs every boxer puncher / counter puncher from the 90s to this day
TBE
+j abz .... My ass

Terrible Boxer Ever (TBE)
+janlloyd santos yup and that's why he is 49-0
+janlloyd santos but he 49-0? Tied one of the greatest boxers ever? Tf outta here
He never lied
Hope he stays retired, he isn't talking as fluently as he used to, it's time to call it a day..
And now he‘s coming for Logan Paul
He never talked fluently
He doesn't need to talk fluently his hands does the talking 🙄😂😂
The best ever P.E.D.S user boxer in the history of boxing yes , the best ever.
TBE!!! Would be a blessing to see him fight again
He is the best defensive strategy boxer of all times absolutely. The smartest boxer ever fight and money wise.
No doubt about it.
Mayweather is the Best ever with out a doubt what he has done in the sport if a white person done it he will be getting the credit much more then mayweather is now im white not black but i truly think he is the best ever he dont need to fight again to prove shit!!!
How can u be the best ever when u are not a heavyweight boxer
He ducked fighters and is the best ever . Lool u dummy
best in his weight division ever.
but greatest of all times is
MUHAMMAD ALI
HEAVYWEIGHT
RIP

Hard Knocks you just watched the greatest.
wr1swd84 don't let hate cloud your jugement.
Lol TBE!!!
this is not the first time that a boxer retires as undefeated. It means it is not a good basis that you're the best just because of your clean record! but indeed you're a champion
MANNY PACQUIAO is the BEST BOXER ACTION-PACKED FIGHTER of this era! Win or Lose!
+SuperBoxing999 Lmao Pacquiao is a great boxer and very exciting but he's far from the best. Also your comment makes no sense. You say hes the best then say win or lose?
FruitPunch Samurai Being willing to fight anyone doesn't make him the best. That's stupid. Name me the fighters Floyd has ducked? I bet its only a few names because lets just be honest Floyd has fought some great fighters. Pac never fought fighters like Canelo. If Pac fought him Canelo would probably knock him out.
+FruitPunch Samurai Floyd can't even land a proper right straight hand on Pacquiao the whole 12 round fight
Pacquiao Lands more and Connects more effectively even with a torn rotator cuff.
Floyd Tap-hug-Tap-run-Tap-Tap-hug-hug
mr. I went to sleep? lol mr I got beat up by smaller guys? Mr I never has a shoulder injury lol.... plz stop watching boxing go watch cricket lmao
+FruitPunch Samurai manny wasn't willing to fight Crawford.... khan.....broner.... porter.....Thurman etc... and all those dudes would take the fight and put a hurt on manny
He literally earned the status, I my opinion he is the Goat
he is the best of the best
steven seagal no floyd
if every fighter could fight like mayweather they would simple facts are they don't have the ability

STFU!!
+Ellie Jezercic ^ stick to instagram bitch, you know nothing about his boxing technique, no one else can replicate it
Neal Shah No one can replicate Gayweather's hugging and running.
+Ellie Jezercic U mad??
Ellie Jezercic He's technical defensive boxer, he created his own art, knowing when to go in and hit, knowing when to back out. When you that evolved in boxing, brainless peeps like you think he's running, yet look, look at that technique he puts in, there's a reason why hes 49-0.
Manny Pac-Man Pacquiao 👊 people's champ❤️
hes the best boxer of his generation. the best ever? I'd vote for Joe Louis or Ray Robinson
If Alì didn't have all his personal life shit on top of his career, probably nobody would put him into the conversation. He's an icon that happened to be a good boxer. That's it. Floyd is the the most succesful boxer of all times considering every single aspect + he's an accomplished business man.
Floyd Mayweather Sugar Ray Robinson Muhammad Ali Mike Tyson my top 4 not exactly in that order but the first two is definitely the first two
***** name 1 person who would whoop Mike Tyson in his prime. I'm talking about 19-20 year old Mike b4 he became champ
***** it's just my opinion
+Rastaman Miller mohamed ali tyson even said it himself
billy cocky if you go a little further back in boxing history you will see during an interview Muhammad Ali said he was scared of Mike Tyson
billy cocky and he meant it you can tell by his reaction when Mike Tyson came on the show
The man has proved he is the best..He beat the best like Pacroid, Canelo, Corrales, Hernandez, Maidana, Hatton, Ndou, Cotto and so many others. In my opinion he is the best of my generation.
mayweather's fans always accuse his critics of being jealous of him.I'm jealous of no-one. I have everything I need in life.good luck to Floyd -he's very gifted and hes worked like a slave to get to where he is.
To be honest,You have to give all respect to this guy.he has fought all the strong and over-hyped boxers in his category.what else man.......boring or not....try and achieve all his accomplishments....strong kudos to this guy...best ever after Ali, rocky marciano etc and the great heavy weights that put their life on line.Although I am not inclined towards his ostentatious display of money and his life style but I do appreciate and like his accomplishment GREAT MONEY MAYWEATHER...one love bro
there's no way on God's green earth Floyd mayweather is TBE Alli is still the man

He's Great..i said it🇺🇲😁👍
If you are great at something people are jealous of you
Even Mike Tyson admitted he is jealous of floyd
His defense is undeniable - as defensive fighter he is just amazing. He is so good that beating him until now, has proved impossible. If boxing was only about defense Floyd Mayweather is certainly one of the best ever. But boxing is not ONLY about defense. Its all about offense and its also about entertainment. Hes never going to go down as an offensive great and how entertaining his fights are arguable according to who you ask. Personally I find him very boring to watch. However this no doubt he is great at what he does......coughRunningcough :)
Also has the best steroids 💉
Undeniable the worst fighter in the sports
salute u brod! but many hater's cant moved on,,they always faild to watch FLOYD lost, but it will never never happen,,, lots of commentators doesn;t know boxing, they just only fun of watching a KO"S and WIN! but they dont know the SWEET SCIENCE in BOXING and that's FLOYD MENU's! HATER"S go to HELL!
You don't understand boxing clearly....he is not only defense clearly...........if that was the case then Pacquiao would not have been knocked around the ring in the 1st, 5th, 8th, 11th, 12th where Floyd was backing him up for most of the round.
what ever they say! FLOYD still #1 in FAME,MONEY, And the most richest BOXER in the history of SPORTS,,,hater's cant erase that!! sorry for them!
A lot of other talented fighters Past Present Future including myself.! But he has the best skills ever. Hands MF down‼️👌🏾💯 str8 Up 💯💯
The fact that he gives himself the nickname "tbe" says enough.
Marcel yeah he speaks it into existence and that should teach you something about life.

as of now,floyed can be acknowledged as the best,in his time.when he was fighting.peace I can't nothing from him. he was a very smart,skillfull, talented,young boxer.he did his thing!

If thats true wby tbe world say pacmam si the best
Not best boxer ever just the wealthiest boxer in history.
pacquio won 4 rounds at the most, shut that shii up....y'all watched the fight focused on Manny so y'all thought he won...if you re watch and study year PAC was the aggressor but that don't win you rounds...hatton was the agressor berto was dela hoya and maidana and that ain't do shii
cant move on??
Mayweather, you couldn't carry Ali's towel
SUGAR RAY ROBINSON
The self proclaimed best ever ... give me a break the list of good fighters in their prime were nil. He'll be remembered as the guy who avoided good fighters until they were on the downside of their career. But mostly he'll be remembered as the woman beater.
There is no problem in Floyd calling himself the best ever - TBE. You don't have to agree with him. He's the best of this generation imo. Beaten every other legend of this era, 49 tried & came up short. They couldn't knock him out, certainly couldn't outbox him, simply put nobody is on his level.
123mambo321 he had a draw.
123mambo321 also it depends on who you’re fighting.
he most def going to hall of fame that's all that matter greatest defensive fighter of all time and has the best compubox numbers of all time from landing punches and not getting hit hmmm Floyd u are the greatest
He is the best ever
Floyd is surprisingly stylish in this interview
One of the best? Yes. Greatest of his generation? Definitely. Best of All Time? Hell no. Top 50 maybe. I rank him lower than Chavez, Monzon, and Olivares.
That said, I'm very happy to have seen his fights. Those are fight memories that will never be forgotten...
Wimble Don Sugar ray is the greatest ever
Mayweather is the best 👌🏽
Muhammad Ali will always be the best.
Don Al Capone fuck Ali Mayweather beat the most world champs in history.
Lawrence Yancey fuck you foolish trash yo
Lawrence Yancey lol he met bums compared to ali
On boxing alone, Ali isn’t the best.
Muhammad Ali is the best boxer of all time Floyd is just undefeated.defensive boxer of all time.basically . Muhammad Ali stood for his people Floyd doesn't stand for nothing in particular but himself and Gucci that's why every body says Muhammad Ali is the best
Muhammad didnt have the complete assets. He never threw bodyshots. He didnt have another defense apart from pulling back. He couldn't fight inside. Floyd did all this and could still stay outside just like Ali. Ali was a greater ambassador of boxing than Floyd. The man still speaks even in death.
Greatest Fraud and Cheat in boxing history
Kid don't call him a cheat 😒At Least he's stronger than you
He's to damn good, he ain't no cheat. He's undefeated.
Joshua Calosso not really he was just simply better than all of them and even the close fights he rematches them quickly and showed whose much better
he will be back
TBE 49-0 !!!!
No humbleness whatsoever.
ali,tyson,sugar ray robinson now floyd when your tbe you dont need to be humble all the goats were not humble its called confidence
Floyd Mayweather is the best hands down most of his face go to distance he's pushing 40 and he isn't even remotely tired at the end of the fight I seen a lot of old school boxers who I have a lot of respect for but all of them get tired around the 10th 11th 12th round but not Floyd so yeah he can compete with those guys and beat them hands down and the way they box back in the day really can't compare with how we box right now. guys are faster and stronger and we have better training equipment some of you people need to let go of that old school s*** but much respect to those fighters
