I think it’s stupid to put this Lilliputian in the same class as Ali or Tyson. Maybe for his weight category he’s the best but pound for pound if he faced of with Iron Mike at the same age he wouldn’t last one half a round with Tyson. |

espn:Boxers of this Era are the best of boxers ... from the way you talk you only watch highlights... Muhammad Ali can not I repeat can not Defeat Anthony Joshua and co.. I have watched a lot of his fight .. he can go a round without landing 4 punches ... I stand corrected... May weather is not heavy weight so I would disagree . But saying kids this days , lols you don’t know anything about boxing go and sit down .. talk when you watch the boxing itself ... 2 Likes |

muykem: Welterweight is not beans, you should try it if it is. Still respect that guy. He is the most successful boxer ever. 50 fights and no draw, no loss. Even when he spiced up boxing with wrestling. Ali, Mike Tyson and co. were great and it would be gross disrespect to unlist them or sing their song but Floyd was phenomenal in his days by being the only man in the list to stand unbeaten in 50 whooping bouts. 1 Like |

Sexyjigga:Joe Fazier cannot be considered greater than George Foreman. They fought twice. Foreman beat him like a child twice . The gap between them was humiliating |

All of you saying he is not the greatest don’t watch boxing .. to me he is not , in boxing we have other greats such as Rocky , mike Tyson , Klitcko brothers , Tyson fury , evander holifield ,Ali etc who were heavyweights and great.. Mayweather is not heavyweight but his fights can not be compared with those guys .. he makes the most money but he doesn’t give the best fight Anyone who says Muhammad Ali is the greatest probably didn’t watch him .. you were told he was the greatest and you accepted it .. Muhammad Ali do a lot of running around too while fighting.. So who is the greatest boxer ? The answer is I don’t know ... perhaps we should not have conversations like this because the sports evolves everyday The greatest is Not to be decided by a random person who uses wealth to judge or those who only watch highlights of big fights or those who were told Ali was the greatest and Never saw him fight even once |

So much for a man who run around the throwing weak punches and fearful of engaging his opponents, and always winning by majority decision with only two knock out throughout his carrier............ America press again I don't consider light weight as boxing...... My opinion. Boxing is refer to as heavy weight |

Papadoh:Sure But there is no one who knows anything about boxing g that can consider Frazier better than Foreman Go and look at Foreman's record. When he fought Ali he was unbeaten He came back I his Forties and knocked out Moorer to become world champion. He did not just beat Frazier he humiliated him twice. Also go and look at what he did to Ken Norton. Going by your argument many would even argue he was greater than Ali Just spend a minute to check his record on Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Foreman When he fought Ali at the age of 25 he was already 40-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tau2O1WHXhQ |

careytommy37:I would love you to go back and watch him. He reigned most during his first few years before he became a professional boxer. He wasn't a champion for long, and when he was figured out as one who will be too weak to go the distance, his domination started going down. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Jnr Rated Greatest Boxer Of All Time by Nobody: 12:01pm On Jun 02, 2020 |
1stola:All some of you know how to do is to insult people with opposite views and that's very bad. How many boxers have you watched that you know more than everyone? You think boxing started in early 80s? Some people are ardent supporters of boxing or better still, sports in general that they follow the history from beginning. And by the way, Tyson had the power but there are some boxers that are everything a boxer should be, from power to technical prowes to stamina, etc. Sugar Ray Robinson could go 15 rounds and still best his opponents most times. How many 12 rounds did Tyson encountered in his time? When he was figured to be a 6 round fighter, most boxers kept him until he became vulnerable in the later rounds and they finished him. Imagine him having a 35-0 record of 30 knockouts, but ended having 6 losses and about 7 draws with 21 wins in his later days. Do you also want me to tell you how his promoters fixed a fight with weak opponents just to boost his morale afterwards? That's how he got most of those 21 wins in his later days. |

before rating the best in boxing one has to consider categories. if a heavyweight champ is not the best ever then that list is a fake one...i repeat its fake

tarantino1:Finally, someone who understands what boxing is. Those people shouting Tyson don't know how his management fixed weak matches for him sometimes and bow most of those weak opponents already lost before the fights. Tyson is good but not in the too 5 in my list of best fighters in the heavyweight division not to talk about all divisions put together. 1 Like |

abbey621: Tyson cannot defeat George Foreman in is prime...when you talk a killer,,,it should be the prime Big George.... Muhammed Ali survive George Foreman after 3 and half years in exile (prison inclusive), he dismantle George even when everyone counted him out,, a big underdog for the big powerful Goerge......... In Ali's prime age 22,,, Nobody could possibly beat him,,,he was always unscratched,,, The man that punch like an Heavyweight and float like a Welterweight..... BTW. The list is incomplete without the lengendary sugar Ray Leonard and Robinson.....and this generation lengend Lennooooox Lewiiiiiiis ���.... Tyson never beat any Great at their prime only old fellas like Larry homes and Micheal spinks who retired after.... |

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jnr Rated Greatest Boxer Of All Time by stanliwise(m): 1:40pm On Jun 02, 2020 |
Olodonairaland:you dont understand boxing. punches is all about body weight. Mayweather by nature has been disadvantaged not to have such weight so he will never contest against any heavyweight boxer. if you can reduce the heavyweight champions we have now to lightweight, I can bet that Mayweather in his prime will knock out 80% of them and have a 99-100% win rate. He is one of the best strategic boxer I have ever seen in my life. |
Re: Floyd Mayweather Jnr Rated Greatest Boxer Of All Time by stanliwise(m): 1:44pm On Jun 02, 2020 |
africandollar:Oga stop being naive jare. Which one is pound for pound? Iron Mike has more weight than Mayweather. so that is cheating already. if you want real fight then upgrade his weight to heavyweight(which might be impossible except surgically). If this happen i can bet that Mayweather will take out Mike Tyson in no time. He doesn't use power like Iron Mike. he is the best strategic boxer to ever exist. |
