Ellerbe: Floyd Mayweather will be the greatest boxer of all time – Boxing News
Leonard Ellerbe, close friend and adviser of Floyd Mayweather jr., believes that his fighter will be listed as the best boxer of all time. He believes that everything Floyd does is historic and that one day he will be listed on top of the list of the greatest
boxers who ever lived.
He added, “This is all history. Floyd Mayweather will go down, in my eyes, as the greatest to ever do it. Obviously, Floyd is just unbelievable and with him being the most talented guys out there, and working harder than everybody, he really hasn’t had to
come out with his bag of tricks but he’s working like his nineteen years old. His work ethic is unbelievable and I fully expect that all the work that he puts into this, the fans will really get a kick out of this next Saturday. Everybody, when they come to
Vegas, wants to train here at the Mayweather Boxing Club.”
He added that every top fighter wants to train with Mayweather especially the young guys who are aspiring boxers. He then said that all of them want to be a part of this environment and know as much about the sport as they can from Mayweather or his associates.
Ellerbe went onto say that by the time Mayweather will retire, he will accomplish everything that is there for him to accomplish as a boxer and he will break all the records he wants to break. He again emphasized on the fact that Mayweather will go down
as the greatest ever boxer to do it and that when he retires people will realize his potential.
Lastly, Ellerbe said that Mayweather has changed the sport and that he is the only fighter who can make $40 to $50 million dollar purses and that can never happen again.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is currently scheduled to face Miguel Cotto on May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This will be Floyd’s 43rd fight of his career and his unbeaten streak will be on the line. If Cotto can break it, he will be the first one to do so.
