Who is the greater boxer: Floyd or Ali?

[PAC-BOY]

if we wanna make a list on purely skill and dominance roy jones is the greatest fighter of all time

hahahahahaha over sugar ray robinson? looooooooolll

[-EX-]

Pernel beat Chavez and Buddy McGirt. Better than anybody on Floyd weak ass resume. HBO was sayign how Hatton gave Floyd more trouble than almost anybody. Floyd IMO is the best WW today, but he isn't that great.

Buddy isn't an ATG...Pernell deff got great fighers but no ATG's.

We could agree he beat Chavez clearly but going by the book it was a draw unfortunantely...

Don't forget Azumah Nelson.

[DonTaseMeBrah]

Best names in his resume is Corrales and JLC, more so then DLH.

what does that say about his career that this so called ATG super fighter's best wins are corrales & jlc? Are those guys even HOFers? They are boderline at best corrales at least.

You don't have to have ATG's on your resume to be an ATG...Whitaker doesn't have any on his resume...outside of Pernell, Oscar doesn't either...

And neither does Julio Cesar Chavez...

You can build your resume to that level off of good, very good, and great fighters...

He has 39 fights. his best wins are corrales, castillo, old oscar, hatton, gatti, judah, & baldomir. that doesnt equal all this ATG stuff based on hypothetical match up wins & a undefeated record.

it just doesnt.

Don't forget Azumah Nelson.

I said ATG's not very good or great fighters...maybe some consider Azumah an ATG...

Whitaker's resume is better...I aint questioning that...

dont confuse supreme athleticism with supreme boxing skill.

Roy was more supreme athleticism than proper boxing technique.

when are people gonna realize that the old school fighters had more GREAT fighters in their time. Boxing isnt like what it used to be, but in this era Mayweather is the greatest boxer. It is not Mayweather's fault that other fighters arent as skilled and talented as he is. Mayweather is a true throwback fighter and alot of so called boxing fans will only appreciate him when he is gone.....he is the closest thing to the old school as were are going to see these days,.......

[Smokin'J]

and Mayweather hasnt?

Mayweather has been a **** talker for 6 fights and Ali was his entire career....you people think mayweathers mouth is anywhere near Ali's?

lmao

and who ended where?
People in villages who know nothing about boxing know Ali yet boxing fans don't give a damn about Mayweather they just want him to get tamed by a real threat

[Doctor_Tenma]

Corrales was favored against Mayweather, knocking out JLC, Acelino Freitas, Angel Manfredy, beating Casamayor...I'd call him a HOF. That's the best name in Floyd's resume. Don't ack as if Floyd should be ashamed. JLC at the time was considered the best L.W and Floyd's 1st move was against him, the first fight may have been controversial but Floyd immediately rematched him and proved to be the better fighter.

At 130 alone

Jesus Chavez
Carlos Hernandez
Ganero Hernandez
Angel Manfredy
Carlos Gerena
Corrales

At 135
Ndou
Sosa
JLC

At 140
Chop Chop
Gatti

147
Baldomir
Zab Judah
Hatton

154
DLH

It ain't a bad resume, that's ATG worthy in my opinion. That's pure greatness and guess what?! HE ISN'T DONE!

give me a break. 'going by the book'....Im a very big Chavez fan, but Im reasonable when it comes to him.

Chavez lost that fight, no questions asked. everyone knows it, you have to count it as a win for Whitaker.


now, this may be an unpopular opinion...but I think Mayweather is more skilled than Ali. yup. not the greater fighter, but more skilled.
