    floyd is very good fundamentally. he is "technique" wise better than ali.

    just like he is roy jones.



    ali and roy are better than floyd though.
    I agree, Ali was a heavyweight with a solid jab and unreal speed for a man his size. He could go 15 roiunds and 215-220 lbs moving like he did is a hell of a lot different from 130-147

        Its commonsense, Boxing tactics & styles evolve, but its because! of fighters like Ali that they evolve.

                Floyd tecnically might be better than Ali, as might Pac be. PBFs resume isnt as good though. But Ali was the best heavyweight.

                  I think that idiot who said Ali was "easy to hit" is talking about the post-prime, post-ban Ali who had faded reflexes and speed and was forced to change his fighting style.

                  Prime Ali had better defence than Mayweather.

                    Not in his prime he wasn't. You need to look back at some fights before 1970 if you think he was relatively easy to hit. Get the facts strait, moron.

                      judging from the way she said it, i dont think she meant technically as in the word boxing fans love to use to describe a style
                      she said he's more advanced because of the era

                      also, you dont watch ali and learn, there was nothin to learn from him
