Recognized as boxing's pound for pound King, Floyd Mayweather Jr. isn't one to shy away from speaking his mind on his superior talents. Mayweather Jr. who is busy training for his December 8 match in Las Vegas against Britian's Ricky Hatton, recently spoke on legends Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali. Mayweather Jr. has great respect for those fighters but feels his time is now and he is better than both of them. Mayweather also did not shy away from speaking his mind on his feelings for Hatton.

Quoted recently in BBC UK, Mayweather Jr stated: "I respect what Robinson and Ali did for the sport. But I am the greatest, and this is my time."

Mayweather also discussed Hatton, stating he didn't see Hatton's fight with Kostya Tszyu, and called Hatton a dirty fighter

"I didn't get the chance to watch him against Kostya Tszyu," said Mayweather.

"I already knew what it was - punch, hold, punch, hold. From what I've seen, it was extremely dirty.

"And that's what I'm saying - that Ricky Hatton is a very dirty fighter."
