Why Don’t the ATG’s like Floyd?

[Jim Tom]

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

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

Why is that?

The past fighters want to be held in very high esteem. They are only happy when you say 'I'm not worthy to tie their shoes.'.

Let's face it, Floyd changed the game. Tyson and Holyfield held records for PPVs and purses. They were supposed to be high up there then the Golden Boy came and changed the game. He thought he would be the greatest then Floyd against all odds made him look like a kid. Floyd is the greatest. Boxing is prizefighting. You don't do this for fun. A big fight is one which pays you well. Back then you fought Dela Hoya and your life would change forever. Now Floyd sits at the top and no one comes close. You find people like Terry Norris hate on Floyd and everyone hates on Floyd because they are midgets compared to Floyd. It comes with the territory. The old don't like the new. People liked Pacquiao because they thought he would beat Floyd, Floyd made them eat their own words. Floyd is the greatest, numbers don't lie. Unless some people pay more to see Tyson, Pacquiao, Wilder, Holyfield, Lewis or whoever than Floyd then forget it.

He pretends all of his wins have more meaning than they actually do. Talks way too much without ever saying anything remotely close to factual, funny or clever. Bored potential fans away from the sport for an entire decade. Just an overall bad human being.

I honestly think that there's a lot of jealousy toward Floyd. I love Evander Holyfield, but he so often comes across as so bitter against certain fighters, I remember once about Vitali Klitschko, talking about him as though he'd be a walk in the park. I'd favour Vitali massively for that fight. I think Wlad vs Holyfield would be an epic fight though with Wlad being more vulnerable than Vitali.

Holyfield isn’t jealous of anyone. He just believes that you should fight absolutely everyone in their prime to be the best. That’s what Holyfield did because he didn’t lose sight of how you establish yourself as an all time great. Went after them all when they were at their most dangerous.

Most of its Jealousy

The Blueprint for almost every great Fighter in History plays out the same.

Fighter achieves Fame & Wealth By being great in the Ring, But being financially illiterate no matter the Fame they’ve achieved or Wealth they’ve earned the Suits on their team control their career, The fighter Gets used up , taken advantage treated like Human Cattle with no regard until they are not bringing in the $ , then they are fed to next eras Champions to get beat down on because that’s the only way for them to earn decent $ because they’re broke or on will be as soon as their career done

Mayweather flipped the Script , He controlled all aspects of his Career. Something almost No Previous Fighter could really say. They were told who & when to fight and for how much.

Why is that?

Because he is a cherry picking ducker, and touched jabbed and ran and hugged.


ATGs like boxing and a warriors spirit and they don't like ducking cowards.

He did fight everyone. But based on the many interviews I have seen with him, he does have a jealous side of many people who may be perceived as being as good, or even better than him.

Conjecture, but perhaps because they all have losses which in some ways humbled them. Floyd doesn't have a loss on his record and he isn't humble.

Jealousy is something that happens to emotional people. The only time I have seen Holyfield get even the slightest bit emotional was when Tyson bit his ear off. Understandable IMO. Holyfield calls it as he sees it in interviews. There is nothing dishonest about him.

[The Big Dunn]

The TS opinion is conjecture. There is no proof that Ali, Tyson and Holyfield don't like Floyd. I don't know about JCC either. Let's say they don't. Why is it important that they like him? Is this 8th grade?

ODH hates him but that is because Floyd beat him, emasculated him in front of the world, beat his best fighter and sh-ts on ODH daily because ODH is a junkie, cross dressing, f@ggot with very weird and twisted fetishes.
