So Im watching ESPN Classic's Replay of Ali-Liston II, and I notice Ali's style is not much different from the style that causes many on the forums here to hate Floyd. If you watch the fight, Ali is skipping around the ring, avoiding punches, and pot shotting Liston when he gets an opening. Much like Mayweather's tactics in his last few fights. No he's not standing and trading, or throwing rapid combinations, instead there was a prime Ali boxing and taking his time with the heavier puncher. What do the haters have to say about that? Yall criticize Mayweather for running, but there you have one of the greatest heavyweights of all time using similar tactics.
Yall Clowns would Probablly Call Ali a Runner

though i wouldnt call floyd a runner, ali and floyd were much different. Ali took more risk and actually exchanged more than floyd. even their trash talking was different if you want to get specific. why do you floyd stans get so ****ing emotional and start comparing him to ali just for the sake of your argument? -

He got a first round knockout over an all-time great fighter in that fight. He didn't fight like Floyd did against De La Hoya or Baldomir.So Im watching ESPN Classic's Replay of Ali-Liston II, and I notice Ali's style is not much different from the style that causes many on the forums here to hate Floyd.

im not getting emotional, Ali was dancing around and then landed a hard shot, im not saying Mayweather has the same power as Ali, but they have similar styles, how many times was Ali caught flatfooted in that video, not once. How many punches did he throw? (not many) What risk did he take in that video he stayed on the move and used his speed, so Im not making any assumption dumbassincredibly ignorant post and assumption.

There has always been haters every generation. The same people hating on Floyd or even Oscar to a certain extent nowadays are like the people who were hating on legends like Ali, Leonard, & Lennox back when they were doing there thing. But just like those legends Floyd & Oscar have created a legacy that will endure for years.Comment
