Who is the greater boxer: Floyd or Ali?

[Steak]

This is funny, I feel like we're playing a card game

All good, I think Cotto takes away from that win, Cotto just dominated him.

hahah, doesnt it? Its more fun this way though, and debate doesnt fall apart in arguments after half a second.

Some say Floyd ducked Mosley and Tszyu. True of false?

Marquez came up from featherweight to lightweight and now to welterweight to fight Floyd.

Could Floyd have fought Tszyu at 140? He would have had a reach advantage over Kostya.

I picked Floyd cuz in terms of skill I beleive he was better than Ali

Accomplishment wise Ali got him

Floyd Mayweather claims he's a greater fighter than Muhammed Ali.

What do you think?

Ali is a bigger ATG, but just to clear something up... in that interview he never said he was greater, he implied he was a more complete fighter... big difference.

Floyd has claimed he's the GOAT several times.

This thread has fail written all over it. Just because you have no losses doesn't make you an ATG or a better boxer than another boxer. Face it Floyd fans, Floyd Mayweather cherry picks. And this is from a non bias point of view, because yes, I do like Floyd, even though I DO NOT buy his fights anymore after the DLH fight. At times he can make fights horribly boring. Ali on the other hand, their was no cherry picking. These guys just fought. And yes, with the amount of trauma to the head after all those years of fighting, and age, Ali did start lossing a bigger number of fights at the end of his career. All in all.

ALI > Floyd

No contest.

I may be 20, but I have watched Ali's fights. Very interesting and one of the most elusive fighters I have ever seen. ATG in my books. Anyone who voted for Floyd, is either a fanboy, or was just joking around.

If we go by floyd, we could say calzaghes the greatest or 1 of lol...

If you dont fight the best you cant expect to be noticed or called a great....just like calzaghe we will never know how he could of done agains the RJJ in his primes..or the Bhops etc...

Floyd may have some of the greatest skills of all time, but if you dont beat the top contenders how are you supposed to be called that?

Floyd needs to fight people because you can fool some people some of the time, but you cant fool all people all of the time. Thats a famous saying isnt it? And is a very apt phrase for PBF.

He needs to get in the ring and do what he do. He shouldnt be too concerned about not having a loss on his record, because people will always criticise him for how he was able to remain unbeaten. Marciano was unbeaten, so was Sven Ottke and more recently JC.
He needs to fight the people other people are considered the best are fighting.

How come Pac is fighting Cotto, and Cotto isnt on PBFs resume yet? PBF should already have had a trilogy of fights with guys like Cotto.
Im fed up with this lazy mans approach to boxing from PBF. Its such an ordeal for PBF to arrange one fight with a top name boxer it seems. Do what greats did PBF. Duran, Hagler, SRL and Hearns fought each other and abused each other like a woman with too many partners. All swapping bodily fluids and blood with each other. This is what im talking about PBF. So clean and sanitized is PBF.

Ali is winning the poll by a very wide margin.

[Talisayen]

Ali is the MAN while Floyd's a fraud.
