    Why Don’t the ATG’s like Floyd?

    Every all time great dislikes Floyd. You name ‘em.

    Ali, Holyfield, Tyson, JCC, ODLH, etc.

    Why is that?

    Most of those guys mentioned such as Hoya, chavez, Tyson, and Ali has been disrespected by Floyd at one point so it’s hard for them to support him.

    Confidence is good but he claims to be better than Ali whose considered as the greatest by the consensus and he is constantly belittling past legends for their losses. His argument as to why He is better than Ali and Ray leonard are ******.

    In a nutshell, he lacks humility and old timers dont like that style.

      I already discussed this in another thread, if Ali adopted Floyd’s style, we wouldn’t be calling him the greatest today.

      Floyd rigged the game, all of boxing knows it. I believe that’s why he doesn’t get the respect from fellow ATG’s.

        Because Floyd is in it for himself. Being the highest paid athlete who *******ly boasts about wealth and TBE status doesn't mix well when said fighter uses a runaway style against people he aged out

          All those fighter fought the best of their gen. Fraud called himself TBE and pulled wool over the casuals eyes. These new gen kids that been watching boxing for 1-2 years, think Fraud Joy Sinclair is TBE even though he never fought the best in his era.

          Wanheng is the true TBE btw.

            None of them has anything bad to say about him as a boxer. So if they can't critique is skills then it comes down to jealousy. He did what they all wish they could have done.

            They wish they had a long career, stayed healthy, wealthy, never got beat up or embarrassed. He didn't get screwed over by a promoter and was able to promote is biggest fights.

            Look what they did to poor Ali late in life. Kept rolling a sick man out in public just for a few bucks. Floyd provided a blueprint for how to beat the game.

            Those without the ability to comprehend what he has done will try to minimize his career and post career.

              Because Floyd did as little as he could to be great taking as little risks as he could get away with.

                  Because he has shown those fighters little respect so why should they be nice and respectful to him?

                    because he has an inflated opinion of himself. Hes one of the best of this generation but certainly not the best of it,let alone ever.
