The difference is the other guy fought the best in his era without cherries in his resume and the other guy literally avoids guys that he thinks would make him the said other guy!
Floyd is so scared for his health that he would do all what in his power to take away any advantages of his opponent!

Just hear him speak in every interview he would always mention about his health. I'm convinced that Floyd is so shook that he would pay anyone just to get an advantage.
One fought in one of the bummiest eras of all (Ali)
While one fought in among the best eras (Floyd)
One struggled with all his decent opponents (Ali)
One dominated most of his (Floyd)
One was a human punching bag (Ali)
One hardly ever gets hit (Floyd)
Obviously there is no comparison skill or career wise between Floyd and Ali in this respect except..
Ali fought everybody that was available. He was tough. He was not a coward!
Floyd ducked fighters several times and most importantly ducked indefinitely the only true threat, the boggest superfight of the era, Manny Pacquio for no other reason than that he knew that Manny was too big a risk to his 0 that he could not afford to take it. Chicken Floyd!!
The difference is Ali talked it up but backed it up by fighting the toughest most scary guys out there.
Floyd talks but finds reasons to fear his health, dude is the first boxer to ever openly admit he is a rich scared coward, that self preservation comes first, and he feared for his life against a prime Pacman, yet his supporters still defend him and call him TBE.
Ali was a superstar and he never said Im the A side fighters should be calling me out not he other way around, instead Ali even as a star and name was calling out the scary guys, if he saw a guy who they said was the best and most unbeatable Ali wanted him, Ali wanted to test himself because he believed in his capability.
Just like when he fought George Foreman people said he would get killed, Foreman got knocked out by Ali.
Floyd doesn't want to fight the best guys at the moment people want it, if someone is a threat he will duck them or make up some reasons why the fight didnt happen or why it happened years too late.
