In an interview with Box Hub TV, from 2010, the five-weight world champion said: “Mayweather can compete with the four of us in our era, but a bit more fire would come his way.
“Could he beat me? No. Could he beat Tommy Hearns? I don’t think so. Could he beat Marvin Hagler? No. Could he beat Roberto Duran? No.
“With that being said and all due respect to Mayweather, who was an incredible technician, if you ask him, he would say the same thing that he could beat us and beat our guys in my era.
“Fighters say that and believe that. Fighters believe they can beat anyone, and if you don’t say you can beat anyone, you’re not a fighter.”
