You can't blame Floyd Mayweather of not respecting the legends who came before him. Why else would he mimic Ali by slapping the GOAT label on himself , leading up to his December showdown with Ricky Hatton? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...isn't it? Maybe he's run out of original material, which is entirely possible considering his mouth has been in overdrive since it formed its first word. Not only did Mayweather rip a page from Ali's playbook, he also dusted off an old Mike Tyson classic. Tyson was a master at getting into his opponent's heads, by talking about getting into their asses. Leave it to Mayweather to take it a step further, by telling Hatton, "I wish I was in prison with you. I'd make you my bitch." The telling part of that statement is Floyd's use of "I wish" as opposed to "If"...not that there's anything wrong with wishing for prison time with Ricky Hatton. Hey, to each his own. The best part of the exchange was Hatton's response, which was priceless. Click this Deadspin link to read what Ricky had to say.
