Mayweather claims he is greater than Ali: "With all due respect, that's how it is"

Better resume.

 

And Floyd will walk around with a shocked pikachu face wondering why all the other legends don't like him.

 

Probably said that while watching Ali vs Spinks / Holmes

 

He'll drop Ali-Berbick as a follow-up if pressed.

 

A bit cocky you could say but I actually think you could make arguements for it.

 

I have a lot of time for Maywesthers skills, but he’s nowhere near, Mayweather is not the greatest in any division for a start.
De la Hoya- old, even some of May’s own family thought he lost that one.
Castillo 1 - he lost
Maidana 1 - he lost, may was old to be fair
Hatton- was smaller, ref was massively bias
Marquez- completely drained at the weight
Mosley- old

there’s no real stand out win in his whole career either, who would it be, Hatton? Hatton was never that great and he gave problems to Mayweather.
His career is like a masterclass in negotiating an undefeated record.

 

I think so too. I probably wouldn't personally, but if you value longevity highly you could. Also the fact that he beat mostly larger fighters while Ali mainly beat smaller. Depends on your criteria for p4p and greatness overall.

Ali has the better wins for sure and beat more top 10 ranked opp. He also didn't miss out on anyone, but that's harder to compare since Floyd was active over so many more divisions.

 

Floyd's activity was very odd. He was fighting rarely in the last 10 years of his career and somehow missed many names when they were at or near their peak. Ali was the opposite. Fought often even when past his best, fased all up-and-comers

 

A better resume than Laila Ali, no doubt.
Not even Mayweather believes that but, as usual, he can't go 5 minutes without attention...

 

I'm not so sure Ali beat more top ten ranked opposition.

 

Ali had plenty of years where he wasn't very active.

 

Do you know how many Mayweather beat?
