Muhammad Ali vs Floyd Mayweather Jr, Who Is The Greater Fighter?

[derkaiser91]

Frazier and Foreman are criminally overrated and he has 2 wins over Liston when he was way passed his prime. Not as impressive of a resume when you really break it down, especially when comparing it to Mayweather who's consistantly fought fighters in the PFP list and beaten all of them usually without breaking a sweat.

If that's not the mark of a great fighter then i don't know what is.

wat...Ali fought the greatest heavyweights of All time....Frazier 3 times, Liston Twice, Ken Norton Twice, Floyd Patterson, George Foreman....Mayweather hasn't fought another great

And obviously we're talking about Ali in his prime (late 60's) because the Ali in the 70's obviously couldnt hold a candle to Money Mayweather.

Tough one for me, but i'd have to say Floyd is the greater fighter. His defense is better, punches are sharper, and reflexes are quicker. Not to mention he's been taking on tougher competition (without a single loss on his record).

Who do you guys think is the greater of these 2 legendary fighters?

Mr. President, I'm sorry to inform you but you've just been impeached for ******ity and nuthuggery.

I've always thought that Ali could have improved his weak resume by getting the likes of Monzon, Tiger, Griffith,Benvenuti etc to put on 50lbs and beaten them. Guess he ducked them

Mayweather has fought plenty of greats, he's just so good that he makes great fighters look normal when they're in the ring with him.

Don't get me wrong, i think Ali is a legend and quite possibly the 2nd greatest fighter to ever be involved in the sport of boxing. But in terms of skill vs skill i think Mayweather is in a class of his own and unmatched in any era of boxing.

I have to go with Ali, they're both great boxers who talked trash to hype up their bouts however Ali at least had charisma to make it entertaining, while Mayweather only made himself appear to be just a loudmouth jerk.

Not sure who this alt character you speak of is but you can either stick to the topic of the thread or find another one to post in.

Bottom line is, Ali called himself the greatest and took on every significant heavyweight of his era to prove it. Mayweather calls himself the greatest and has done zilch to prove it.
