Comments Thread For: Khan Rips Mayweather: Not Better Than Ali, He's Not TBE

[SkillspayBills]

I honestly never thought I could hate a fighter more than Antonio Tarver. I honestly and truly hate this mother****er. I know how "Golovkin" feels when he talks about Floyd now lol.

[Box-Office]

Where did I say that you did?

I'm talking in regards to Khan's comments in which you responded to.




"That's like Arsenal playing in the Football League for one season."

How is it anything remotely like that?

"Yeah, he has given us great fights, but Berto is bloody horrible regardless of how you slice and dice it. He could've picked someone half decent.

You can't call yourself TBE and fight a Berto."

Why can't you?

Can any fighter call themselves TBE then?

Because go and pick any fighter in history and I will name you a fight they had that was worse than Berto. During their title reign also.

How many of them bestowed such ridiculous titles upon them selves? Ali? The core idea (besides beating names) behind calling himself TBE is not taking an L. Ali had called himself GOAT, but his premise was not being unbeaten. Now when you've never taken a loss and of course built your brand around that 0 you're claiming perfection. Hence, you'll be judged accordingly and in this case he's looked on as taking the easy way out.

Why set up these barriers for others to jump through when you were going to fight Berto 3-3 in his last 6 coming off Lopez ? What else are people supposed to think?

Because Floyd said so!!!!!!!!!

how is berto more deserving than khan???????? HOW?!?!?!?!?!?!

That's how ******, Floyd or any other fighter wouldn't fight a guy that hasn't deserved a shot. Who has Berto fought??? Well he's stepped in the ring against Ortiz, Robert G and a whole lot better competition than glass jaw. ... Hell Khan got KTFO from a poo unchers to the neck from Danny and he barely gets past the guys he's been fighting lately. Hey Khan would you like some cheese to go with that whining you are doing? ??

Ali, Robinson, Tyson, Foreman, Roy Jones, the list is endless of fighters who called themselves the best ever.

Do you want me to reel off some names that these guys fought who are comparable or worse than Berto?

What does being undefeated have to do with anything? Muhammad Ali proclaimed himself as "The greatest of all time" at age 22 after his first ever world title fight. 2 years into his reign he defended his title against Brian London.

Set up what barriers? He's having an easy fight for his farewell fight. That isn't out of the ordinary

[LacedUp]

Because you said so?

People always remember you for conclusions and endings. You could be employee of the month every month of every year and if you leave on bad terms that's what they'll remember you for.

Not really true in boxing at all. AT ALL.

But maybe you should let your boy Khan in on that wisdom, since he's been drawing conclusions to what will be known as a disappointing career if he continues like he is.

In hindsight, sure, so the next generation of kids who didn't grow up with Floyd, yes, but not for now.

My boy is one of the biggest overachievers out there. His biggest fan has built a career around him. He's good. Kell is pushing 30, 35 fights and has 1 win worth talking.

Plenty of guys say plenty of stuff when they are on the peak of their careers or during the post fight adrenaline rush. I haven't heard Tyson or Jones say that in recent times. Difference is Mayweather is retiring and claiming such and has a good reason to. You can put it positively that people expect better from Floyd.

Tyson did a documentary several years after he retired where he called himself "the greatest fighter who ever lived!"

Jones recently said in an interview that in his prime "Not even King Kong" could have beaten him.

What are you talking about?

Not just undefeated, but claiming perfection on top of that. That's why everything he does will be scrutinized. Pacquiao fights LWWs or guys off losses and isn't held to the same standard as Mayweather.

I'll sum it up as: people expected better from Floyd.

[lefthook2daliva]

Well Khan is actually right; next to Ali, Floyd is a chump...

But Khan is not even better than Garcia, for God's sake...so he should stfu...
