Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Happy Birthday toe Floyd Money, Mayweather Jr. He turns 44 today. Max. Simple question at 50 and no, that's 50 wins, zero defeat. He's the Gulf of Boxing. No son, first of all, when he says when Floyd says T b e the best ever, he's said, he's told me I'm not even talking about in the ring. Someone else can have that. He's talking about playing the whole game. Then you have an argument playing the business side of it. Hit, Not getting hit. Getting out. Undefeated, making a ton of money. The fact is, Rocky Marciano was 49 to know before Floyd got to 15. Oh, he was a heavyweight champ. Did anyone ever consider Rocky Marciano the Goat? No, not seriously, No. Why would Floyd be considered to go because he beat more fighters than Rocky did. More great ones. That's true, but really, Floyd was careful in the way he selected opponents. Don't get that twisted. It's not that Floyd didn't fight a lot of great fighters. He did. It's not that I don't think he would have beaten a lot of the tougher fighters than he fought. I think he probably would have but he didn't do it. He waited. He waited till Pacquiao wasn't at his best anymore. He didn't fight Margarito on. Margarito was tearing everyone up. He waited for the right time to fight people. Now that's part of why he says he's TB, because that lowers the risk. And while demand is building for that fight, it actually maximizes the ward. He got paid twice, a much for fighting Pacquiao in a less dangerous fight than he would have had. He fought him when everyone wanted toe, see him fight. But that does count when you're being compared to the other greatest of all time against you. Let me give you an example. Sugar Ray Robinson, who was a 6 ft 147 pounder. He's like six inches taller than Floyd Mayweather and deadly power in both hands and also lightning fast and good box and had a great chin. He was 40 and, oh, when he lost his first fight, but it was to a middleweight. Not that he went up to middleweight and fought him. He was a well to £847. He fought a middleweight 160 it wasn't just any middleweight. It was Jake LaMotta, Raging Bull Jake, one of the all time great middleweights, and he lost close. He beat LaMotta in five other fights. That was his only lost Floyd, one fighting guys above his weight division, £15 giving up the weight in their prime. The next loss Robinson had, he was 130 win fighter the next time he lost to, and that was to a dude in his own division, he was a middleweight. So is Randy Turpin. And he knocked Turpin out in a rematch. Not Floyd is among the all time greats, but he ain't number one.
