are Mayweather's skills better then ali's?

[Jiddu Dali]

Yeah, a sparring partner he couldn't even finish off. A guy he could only manage to hurt once in the entire fight. Of course weight mattered. JMM was 130 pound fighter masquerading as a Welter. No, weight didn't have anything to do with Mayweathers defense, but it sure did with everything else.

HAHAHAA..Mayweather took it easy on Marquez & still made it look easy

[2120]

yeah, but at WW he's no ali

definitely floyd has not been the same fighter at welter that he was at 130 and 135.

I do not rank heavies that highly so I would say floyds skills are better than ali

but lets not forget that ali is considered to be many the greatest heavyweight not the greatest boxer that ever lived.

if you compare the best heavies to the best lower weigh boxers i will side with the lighter boxers.

that does not mean floyd couldnt have learned something from ali. in particularly fighting the best opposition that is available

Mayweather didn't take it easy on JMM. That's the same way he fights everybody. He's not taking it easy, he's playing it safe. He's scared to death to engage. He doesn't have a killer instinct. He's a chicken ****, that's why he shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breathe as Ali, LOL.

HAHAHAA..Mayweather took it easy on Marquez & still made it look easy

He made it look easy, but to be honest he didn't seem to have that killer instinct to knock out Marquez

[Al Haymon]

It's not like Floyd himself breaks people down with body punching.Ali used his ability to greater effect against better opposition. He was never a textbook boxer but at his very best it was near impossible to land punches on him, hurt him, outbox him, outspeed him, outpunch him, etc.

In fact you could make the case that the Ali of 1964-1967 got hit less than Mayweather.

What are you talking about? He does that REGULARLY. What have you been watching?

Wrong on Ali's elusiveness. Only against the very slow like Liston.

[Hopkiller]

Ali fought Foreman, Frazier etc. He might not have Floyds skills, but his heart is in every way bigger.

[Titing Kabayo]

Skillwise, Floyd is better than Ali in all department... If they are in the same size and fight each other, Floyd by decision... Another thing differs is that, Ali don't run.

[BritishBoxing92]

**** right off....mayweather is nothing as even close as Ali...wtf kind of thread is this? ali beat liston,frazier was the only man to knock out george foreman, he beat keen norton and henry cooper and the likes of boxers such as leon spinks....the only real boxers mayweather has fighted are hatton,delahoya,judah and marquez.....hope manny destroys both mayweather and cotto...

[RightCross94]

also, mayweather's resume is rat**** compared to Ali's, anybody can look good fighting C and B class competition.

Such a load of ****.

De la hoya, Hatton, JMM, Corrales, Castillo, Hernandez etc are NOT C and B class competition you fucking moron, you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. You are just repeating the same crap you probably heard from another moron on here.

Obviously Mayweather's resume doesn't match Ali's, Ali had arguably the deepest resume of all time.

[talip bin osman]

one judges the skill of a boxer by the look of his resume, the quality of foes, the circumstances in which that boxer fought his foes, then longevity...

not by watching videos...

just my 2 cents...
