Single season records in home runs and slugging percentage, and this is when he is being walked at a record pace.
I don't think it's arrogant at all. He's wiping out the records.

Bonds didn't say that he was wiping out Ruth's records. He said he was wiping out Ruth. And he encouraged people to stop talking about Ruth.
Can't you agree that is arrogant?
If Tiger surpasses Nicklaus' records for major wins, would it be appropriate for him to tell people that he has "wiped out Nicklaus" and tell them not to talk about Nicklaus any more?
We're not questioning Bonds' athletic ability, which is undeniable. We're discussing his class and dignity, which is highly questionable. Can't you distinguish between the two?
