    Comparing Floyd to Ali?
    Ali paved the way for *******s like Floyd.

    All Floyd knows how to say is negro this and negro that.
    How are you going to compare Floyd to Ali?

    Ali was a product of that era, Floyd is nothing more than a TOOL.

    You are going to compare this man here



    With this piece of crap below?



    Don't ever compare Ali the man who saved boxing to Floyd who is an emberassment to the sport and a thief.

        While Mayweather is a great fighter, one thing he is definitely not, is a great trash-talking, 'swaggering', witty self-promoter like Ali.

        Mayweather comes across as nothing more than a dullard braggart that is quite obviously fake in his 'tough guy' trash talking persona. If you find it in any way, shape or form amusing or cool and think he does it well, then you really don't understand what even made Ali so great.

        Mayweather is just not articulate, witty or smart enough to pull it off. He reminds me of Judah and they both just seem like a couple of young, desperately wannabee, gangster homeboys.

        So, yes there will be many more, and much better, fighters with the ... errr ... 'swagger' of Mayweather. In all honesty, he really doesn't have any. None that compares to Ali anyway. If you can't see that you're as thick as he very obviously is. Ali actually had something to say with well formed ideas, expressed articulately and he said it with verve, panache and a good dose of tongue in cheek humor.

        The whole Mayweather faux-gangster simply doesn't work for him. He would actually do better as a good guy.

          Muhammad Ali was a Master. He was tactful, funny, poetic, challenging, entertained and genuinely cared for people, had gimmicks, foundations, gave to charity, fought for ideals (against Vietnam war).

          You can`t compare PBF with that, Floyd is just plain egotistic, nothing more. Even a 10-year-old can copy his attitude.

          These two are way off...

            I bet PBF reminds Mohammad of how good he was.You can see it in the twinkle in his eyes.These 2 greats have almost the same career and greatness.Those who disagree are either hateful,blind or ignorant of boxing history.

              He's probably the closest match to Floyd...

                Agreed 100%, We might never see anyone who comes close to Ali anymore, He was just too smart and witty for any kind of boxer in these day and age.

                The man was even too smart for Journalist with master degrees, And for a man who had difficulties to read thats amazing.

                    Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali told you what round he was gon knock out his opponent and how he was gon knock him out....and he'd go out and do it exactly as he predicted.

                    Floyd promises wars and knockouts and ends up backtracking and potshotting his way to the cards.

                    Not even a fair comparison.

                      I agree, Floyd was a great heavy weight
