Mayweather claims he is better than Muhammad Ali
Floyd Mayweather Jr disputes claims that Ali was the greater fighter. He says his 47-0 record and career achievements rival Ali’s, while noting Ali’s losses, including the Spinks fight, do not diminish his status. He previews the May 2 bout with Manny Pacquiao and downplays hype. A ticket dispute for the fight with Pacquiao is settled, clearing some seats for sale as MGM negotiates. Klitschko weighs in, warning against boastfulness. Mayweather reflects on maturity, earnings potential up to 180 million, and stepping away from trash talk. He also defends not trashing Freddie Roach.
