Is Floyd Mayweather Jr the Kobe Bryant of Boxing?

[Carpe Diem]

If anything...Floyd = Big Fundamentals aka Timmy Duncan......

Proven Winner, one of the highest paid, MVP recipient, Multi Champ and the opposite of flashy (while doing their respective sport).

Outisde of their sports'....Floyd is more like Lady Gaga....

That's a great comparison. Many considered Tim to be highly boring like most general Boxing fans considered Floyd boring. But IMO the Floyd and Kobe comparison is better. At this point, Bernard Hopkins is more like Tim Duncan. They're both washed up, but still dangerous.

They did a poll for Players and Kobe got the most votes for a player that they fear the most.

LOL. This sounds like something a little kid would make up when trying to convince you he's right about something.

There wasn't even a top five player in the pistons team that demolished LA a few years ago. Gasol is also a top two bigman today, and will be a HOFer when he retires.

Good point about pistons but you know what I mean.
Regarding Pau, he is not a HOF yet. That said, why do people say he is top 2 then vote him 3rd team?

Tim Duncan is the best of the 2000s.

If you don't follow basketball, you would think I would make that up.

Man Gasol > Stoudamire, making the top three NBA teams is a popularity contest. Ffs Chris Bosh didn't even make ANY of the three teams. I dare you to name three better power forwards.

Arguably he is. I think his NBA Finals records are more consistent than Kobe's and Shaq's.

Fans voted kobe player of the decade then all the NBA, TNT, and ESPN tv guys ****ted on the choice. But they were ok with Lebron ahead of Iverson. SLUUUURP

LOL.

There's not a chance in hell guys like D. Wade, Lebron James, K.G. or damn near any other professional basketball player admitted that they "fear" Kobe Bryant.
