Who is the greater boxer: Floyd or Ali?

[Chr0nic]

Yea in terms of resume...but a fight between the two would be competitive...

roy jones could very well kill floyd if he landed one of those left hooks while in his prime

[-EX-]

if you think it justifies what floyd nuthuggers do, then be my guest...be as selective as you want....my only point is that a number of guys you've mentioned have done it...and you're saying it doesn't count...all good Ex....

****, I can't take credit for those ridiculous posts...

You can't put all Floyd, Cotto, or Pac fans in the same category...

You can't compare Flawless to SkillsPayBills or myself...

Same goes for a few of those extreme Wlad and Calzaghe fans...

You also have to display your skill against great fighters. Displaying your skills against a prime George Foreman who people think will kill you is more impressive then having a tough time with Ricky Hatton. If Ali was fighting garbage competition he would have looked even better.

Mayweather faced his Foreman, in Corrales at (130), Corrales just like Foreman, was knocking everybody out. Ofcourse Foreman accomplished more, a little comparison it's all it is.

C'mon man...please don't compare Corrales to Foreman...

What is going on today...lol

I've noticed the Mayweather clan have spent a great number of years in discrediting Ray Leonard also.

I think Leonard stops Mayweather jr in devestating fashion personally,That hand speed and that volume and power is something Mayweather has never experienced.

Take a jose luis castillo and a zab judah and mix them up and that's perhaps the closest version of a Ray Leonard you have to what Mayweather has experienced

Then again, SRL is to WW what Floyd is to SFW.

That was only a little compairson. Corrales at 130 had one punch knock out power, as Foreman did also.

Same thing in Ali's case. They're both great...and both seem even greater because they say they are...and we believe them.

"I am the greatest..." Ali said this so often it was engraved in everyone's minds.

This isn't actually the case,There is nothing more than people want than for a **** talker to fail,To not back up his **** talking.

Had Ali failed to step up to the best and consistently lose to the best then he would be mocked and be categorized as just another **** talker with more bark than bite.

Wasn't really the case with Ali as he did back up his words.

There's nothing worse than a **** talker who can't back it up but there's nothing better than a **** talker who can back it up.


When Mayweather does step up to the greatest fighters in his division then it would be very hard to criticise him in terms of his boxing career.

Mayweather faced his Foreman, in Corrales at (130), Corrales just like Foreman, was knocking everybody out. Ofcourse Foreman accomplished more, a little comparison it's all it is.

Well you just said it yourself

Foreman was far more accomplished than Corrales was however Corrales should be looked as nothing less than an excellent win for Mayweather considering the circumstances of Corrales being the heavyweight favourite and the fashion in which Mayweather beat him.

That was long ago however,When Mayweather at 130 and 135 was fighting the greatest contenders and fighters in the division.

Can we say he has done the same at 140? at 147?

Then again, SRL is to WW what Floyd is to SFW.

Again no one argues Mayweather's resume at 130,That where his true legacy lies.

That was long ago however and his career should have carried on as he moved up fighting the same level of opponent as he did at 130

i think our 'discussion' has been settled

I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Corrales wasn't even on Oscar Bonevenas level.
