Floyd Mayweather Jr. made an appearance on ESPN Deportes and was asked to rank his top five boxers of all-time. His list is as follows:

Floyd Mayweather
Roberto Duran
Pernell Whitaker
Julio Cesar Chavez
Muhammad Ali

Honestly, nobody should have an issue with Mayweather placing himself on top of his fictional pound-for-pound list. Why wouldn’t he? He doesn’t call himself “TBE” or “The Best Ever” because he doesn’t believe it.
