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

[Bigmacpoper]

I am suprised only six have chosen Mayweather.Ali deserves his respect for what he accomplished but let's be serious here and get over the hatred many of you have for Mayweather.

Mind explaining how he's greater than Ali?

Mind explaining how he isn't a greater fighter than Ali?

Because he didn't beat the best of his era. Plain and simple. He doesn't take chances against the best. And this is him in his prime. He could have fought Mosley, Cotto, Margarito and Clottey while they were around but nope. He thought it was okay just to play it safe.

If you mean a greater boxer (ie. technical skills) then you can make an argument.

There's a big difference between a great boxer and a great fighter.

Then the argument is strictly "who has the greater resume" this isn't about that argument as the thread starter already made a point of noting Mayweathers skills compared to Ali's.

Ali was physicall gifted,Mayweather is physically and technically gifted.

Some of the replies are comical just like the one above my post! Alot of these noobs haven't seen Ali in his prime (eg. V Cleveland Williams) and probably mistake his past his prime heroics for his best. I also think these daft bastards missed the Castillo fight as well as the early rounds V De La Hoya. He struggled with mere hall of famers so imagine what the ATG's would do to him!!!!!

Enough of belittling the fools, now it is time to be nice and educate them on maybe one little thing. It is always better and more efficient as well as more highly skilled to make a punch miss COMPLETELY rather than block it with a shoulder roll or in some cases even Floyd's face. Ali in his prime was literally untouchable, and he was more impressive than even a prime SRR never mind a prime boring Floyd. That's why even RJJ is higher than him in ATG status

Nope, i'm a big Ali fan and have been for many years. Bigmacpoper speaks the truth, this thread is about skill for skill and in that respect i don't think Ali can compare to what Mayweather brings to the table. His accomplishments are probably greater at this point, but Floyd's still relatively young as a fighter and has plenty of time to beat him in that aspect as well.

The way Mayweather's been going, it doesn't look like he's gonna achieve more than Ali.

A P4P match up would be more interesting. It's pretty obvious Ali was the greater out of the two.

Floyd ain't shown me ****e in the skill department that I haven't already seen from other and better fighters.
