Is Floyd Maywether actually better than Ali ?

[WillieWild114]

Is he actually better than Muhammad Ali ?

[GhostofDempsey]

If we are talking about boxing skills, yes. From a technical aspect, he is a better boxer. If we are talking about quality of opposition, taking on risks, and showing heart and courage, he's not better than Ali in that respect.

[Get em up]

Ali was the better entertainer. Floyd better boxer. Both had a way of drawing a crowd.

[BoxingIsGreat]

I've always felt Floyd was the better skilled boxer.

[youbeight]

technically, yes. on paper though, no.

[boliodogs]

No. Ali was better in my opinion prime against prime but Mayweather fought at a very high level for many more years. Mayweather was still fighting at the highest level when he was many years older than the age Ali was finished. Mayweather had one of the longest runs as a world champion of any boxer. Maybe a case could be made for Mayweather being better based on longevity. as champion.

[GrandpaBernard]

Yes Floyd could do more in the ring than Ali

Ali was in the best heavyweight era. Strange when you realize The Greatest didn’t beat an opponent greater than manny

[KillaMane26]

Yes..... Floyd style/skill wise is top 3 p4p.... resume is a whole other story

[Larry the boss]

Floyd had better fundamentals and was more discipline

[pasawayako]
