“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.” -- Floyd Mayweather Jr.
No, Mayweather was not trolling when he said he was better than Ali and Robinson while speaking with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. He meant every word of it. He was not waxing poetic in an effort to sell his mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao this Saturday in Las Vegas. That job is already done, and nothing else “Money” can say or do will bring more eyeballs to the richest fight in boxing history.
