Comments Thread For: Muhammad Ali: Reflecting Back on Meeting “The Greatest”

[4Corners]

Ali is 10 levels higher than Floyd Mayweather as a boxer and 50 as a respected person. One thing about Ali, he would never avoid fighters by going into several retirements or do things to get in trouble to avoid the elite fighters in their primes. Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins would have punished Floyd in their prime.

Jones and Hopkins were always fighting at higher weights than Floyd ever has in his entire career, so why compare them head-to-head???

Ali in his prime, was the greatest. From 1964-1967, no one was better than Ali. No one.

M. Ali was the greatest showman in boxing indeed. But the greatest boxer? Spare me from this bigotry. If we talk about boxing as a sport probably Sugar Ray Leonard is the right man.
