LeBron didn't get to pick which teams and players he played against either...

I was comparing crowning achievements. There was nobody at 147 that anyone would have picked to beat Mayweather not named Pacquiao, regardless of age (and that's still true today unless you get hard for Crawford). The age thing really makes no sense either, because Mayweather is 2 years older than Pacquiao, and has been a boxer far longer. Ali getting knocked out doesn't make him any less great. That's one of the dumber criticisms among so called boxing fans IMHO. Pacquiao had been KO'd twice as a poor malnourished kid, long before we ever cared about his ascent to greatness. It also took Marquez 4 tries to get that KO, and he's still losing the series. Pacquiao is #1 at welterweight, 5 years after already being allegedly old and washed up, so that should tell you something about him. James' numbers against the 2016 Warriors are comparable to the Pacquiao win, because there wasn't a better horse to beat in either case.

Originally posted by MC Hammer View PostNone of his reasons were remotely relevant. 1996 to 2020, he stopped in 2017 with McGregor. His salary means nothing, abd not being with any company means no one wants to deal with you. Serena Williams won a tournament pregnant and has been the most dominant athlete in her craft with no competitor close. I think she could've won over LBJ but certainly not Floyd

They should have had a cross-sport competition. Let Floyd play a little one on one against Lebron on the court, then let Lebron put on the gloves and get in the ring with Floyd. My money is on Lebron for both.
Floyd is nowhere close to Lebron in popularity or positive influence over their respective sport.

Originally posted by True That View PostLol @ Mayweather. Sorry bruh, boxing hasn't been mainstream for awhile now and in boxing you get to choose who you fight. Unilke in most other sports you have to play the best every year to prove yourself. They got it right, LeBron James is rightful Athlete of the Decade.

A Weight drained Corrales? Victoriano Sosa? Henry Bruseles? Phillip N'dou? Sharmba Mitchell when he was way past his best? Old, coked out fishnet oscar? Slow, plodding child rapist Carlos Baldomir? Slow basic Robert Guerrero? An old, jittery hand shaking shane mosley? Hard charging, face first Ricky Hatton? Cotto after Margarito beat his brains in already? Dried out weight drained canelo? On and on and on.
