Floyd Mayweather Jr. is so confident that he was ranked number one on a list of the five best boxers in history, defeating boxers such as Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.

Money Mayweather spoke on the Fat Joe podcast and surprised with his statements, not to top himself, but to forget boxers like Ali, who many consider to be the best in history, or Tyson,

“We have to go with Money Mayweather, we have to go with Pernell Whitaker. Go with Roberto Dern, man, you put me in a difficult position,” said the American boxer.

Then he mentioned Larry Holmes and Aaron Pryor, and when questioned about the former, he said he beat them all and faced the best.

“As far as heavyweight, if we’re going to go heavyweight, I’m going to be honest, I have to go with Larry Holmes. He beat everyone in his day, when Larry Holmes was defeated by Mike Tyson. , so they got beaten up by a young hungry champion and came out of a year-long retreat and got beaten up by Tyson.”

He said that Holmes was good in his career from start to finish, as well as smart outside the ring and now he enjoys it.

“I have to say Larry Holmes had the basics, he had the job. He’s living a great life now because he made smart investments. He was good from beginning to end of his career.”

Floyd Mayweather had scheduled a fight against Don Moore in Dubai this Saturday, but the death of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan forced it to be cancelled, which will be rescheduled.
