[Long Winded EDIT:] I know a lot of people are saying a boxer can't be measured by stats, but quite frankly it's all we have. This chart is simply to put some perspective into the equation instead of just going off blind opinion. Which is perfectly fine, you can have your opinion. Personally, I think Mike Tyson is the greatest of all time. You put him in his prime with anybody at the same weight and he would kill. His style and skill were just amazing. And that is my opinion. If we just looked at each fighter at their prime this list would be different, but you can't deny the stats when you look at a fighters overall career, and that is what this is about.[/]
So everybody has heard by now how Mayweather feels about himself. I would expect nothing less from a fighter like him. But even so, I was bored and decided to compile stats from Boxrec, and came up with a graph based on 10 major stats that I personally feel are the most important when comparing fighters. All are not here obviously, but I took 5 of the most famous boxers who are usually brought into any pound-for-pound conversations and compared them. In the end, my list ended up like this and Mayweather is not number 1. Nobody needs to get butthurt. Just laying out the stats.
1.) Ali
2.) Joe Louis
3.) Sugar Ray Robinson
4.) Floyd Mayweather
5.) Mike Tyson
6.) Rocky Marciano
Take a look for yourself. If you can appreciate this chart, fell free to share it. Thanks
