      Regardless, this poll is embarrassing.
      Yeah Tyson is ahead of Duran The fail is strong with this one.

        I was speaking to a business associate from London the other day and during a wait time we spoke about sports. I brought up the fight and he knew of it. Now he knows nothing of boxing, and when i say nothing i mean NOTHING, so i was suprised he knew of this fight. When asked how he knew he said he knows of 3 boxers Floyd and the Klit bros and thats it. So i would say Floyd is known in the UK

        Now ask him about soccer and he wouldnt shut up. Iguess some Bale guy is big news right now

          lol yeah, i've had people tell me that on this site too. it's absurd. everyone i know, even those who don't follow boxing at all, are familiar with the name 'floyd mayweather' and vaguely place him as the best.

              All time great?
              He did not fight the very best of his generation (Oscar was a ticket seller, not an overwhelming Pro talent) and he may very well not survive the onslaught of a determined baby bull.

              All of the info is far from in regarding the genuine measure of this sweet scientist.
              To place him beside Ali and to have him outpointing Duran or Pryor in any context is an act of buffoonery and dollar sign worship.



              I think you're overestimating Pryor a fair bit to think the possibility of Mayweather beating him is absurd.

                    Pryor has been considered the greatest 140lber to ever live...so its not "absurd" to think that he could take on Floyd.

                    ...groupies

                      Like i said he doesnt watch or care for boxing but he knows those names. Dont be mad cause im successful and conduct business with other countries. Im not a soccer guy but I know Ronaldo and Messi but have never heard of this Bale guy who they say is the 3rd best player in the world behind the only two names i know so yeah it is possible
