JAKARTA - Floyd Mayweather Jr. is so confident that he put himself in first place in the list of the five best boxers in history. Uniquely, the list does not contain the names of Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.
In his appearance on the Fat Joe podcast, "Money" surprised a lot of people not because it put itself on top. But forget about boxers like Ali, who is considered by many to be the greatest in history, or Mike Tyson, who marked an era in the heavyweight division, in the 80s.
"We've got to put Money Mayweather, we've got to put Pernell Whitaker. I've got to put Roberto Duran, man, you put me in a tough spot," said the American.
He then mentions Larry Holmes and Aaron Pryor. When asked about Holmes, Money said Holmes had beaten everyone and faced the best boxers.
"As far as heavyweight goes, if we're going to name heavyweight I'll be honest, I have to name Larry Holmes. He beat everyone in his era, when Larry Holmes was beaten by Mike Tyson, he was beaten by a hungry young champion and he came out from a one-year retirement and being beaten by Tyson."

Floyd also noted that Holmes was good in his career from start to finish, plus he turned out to be smart outside the ring and is now enjoying it.
"I have to say Larry Holmes masters the fundamentals, he has a punch. He's living a great life now because he's made smart investments. He was good from start to finish," he said.
Floyd Mayweather was due to fight last Saturday in Dubai against Don Moore, but the death of the president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, forced the duel to be canceled and be rescheduled.
