I agree with the list 100. Mayweather made so much records and recognition infact when boxing was almost dying like wrestling may weather brought back the fun. I hate when ppl confuse stats for sentiments, who's tyson self mtcheeew 2 Likes |

dangoteinlaw:Mayweather 50 -0 Calzaghe was 46-0 Why is Calzaghe not on the list? But Hopkins whom he beat is? |

Alot of people will disagree with this... But the record says he's the best |

[quote author=omonnakoda post=90220469] Clean sheet is quite irrelevant Joe Calzaghe 46-0 had a clean sheet and even beat Hopkins who is on the list as well as Roy Jones Jnr. BUT he fought them when they were in their 40s and generally picked his opponents It is important to remember that boxers now fight 12 rounds . I am old enough to remember when they fought 15 rounds. When there was no back pass rule in football I don't think the two eras can be compared. George Foreman would have destroyed Tyson in 5 rounds. Go and look at his record when he came back in his 40s [/quote) You guys are sentimental to almost everything. A group put up a verifiable records with which they arrived at conclusion to prove their facts. but you just say unverifiable unproven things without evidence. That sounds like a layman or street man making arguments 3 Likes |

The fact that he has won all his 50 fights doesn't make him the GOAT. Most of the other greats have fought more than 50 times. Until he reaches their number of fights and still remain unbeaten, he shouldn't be crowned a boxing GOAT just yet 1 Like |

southpole:leave those circus clowns calling tyson, even their ordinary exam they couldn't pass 12subjects at once but somehow mayweather beat 50persons in a row. Next thing they will come up with excuses that those beaten boxers weren't big enough. |

1stola:he has a solid point, mike was simply amazing as an explosive boxer, he was quite fun to watch but he has a weak resume. How many HOFs did he beat, just two, including a washed up and old Larry Holmes. He couldn't even beat holyfield twine, lost brutally against Lennox Luis. Sentiment will make a man list Tyson in Top HW not to talk of Top Boxers |

Re: Floyd Mayweather Jnr Rated Greatest Boxer Of All Time by MandalorianCree: 7:59am On Jun 02, 2020 |
Sugar Ray Robinson was perfect, there was nothing he could not do, he could throw a knockout punch going backwards. He had electrifying pace, magnificent footwork, crushing punches, his hands were as fast as flash, he could throw six punch combinations in the time it took the opponent to throw two. He sometimes fought twice in a month. His style was beautiful, his punches were accurate and surgical. Imagine a boxer having the flair of Ali and the knockout power of Tyson. If you asked God to build you a boxer he will give you Sugar Ray Robinson. Total fights 200 Wins 172 Wins by KO 109 Losses 19 Draws 6 No contests 2 3 Likes 1 Share |

joeyfire:He never did!! He said he was afraid of needle but have tattoo all over his body. He only agreed to urine test. It was when his argument could no longer be sustained that he agreed to random testing. He want a schedule testing where he will be pre- inform. 1 Like |

ValCon888: Azzin boxing these days is a joke jare . But then again so is EVERY ASPECT OF SPORT these days. Joe Frazier v Ali, Ali v Foreman you can’t watch both fights and not CRINGE see heavy blows. Now any small thing you “grab” your opponent and hold on for 15 seconds lmao. No blow for blow action at all. 2 Likes 1 Share |
