    Okay so your entire understanding of boxing comes from what others say rather then actually watching fights and understanding what's going on. Makes sense then why you constantly have such dog **** opinions about everything.

    Clever fighters did seem to trouble Foreman. The suggestion that any clever fighter will hand him an L seems like hyperbole.

    No it’s my opinion is that Ali was greater p4p or by any other criteria than Mayweather.
    It so happens that my opinion is shared by the majority of boxing fans, most boxing experts all time lists, and seemingly even the number of posters in this thread.
    But my opinion is the one that is dog****?…

    This thread is getting way too personal.

    Foreman got annihilated vs. a past prime fighter. Actually, he quit.

    Most notable fights at the weights
    Lightweight - lost
    Light welter- Gatti
    Welter- A small Hatton
    Super welter- Old Oscar, his own family think he lost.

    What career highlights they are for a notable weight jumper, imagine arguing they are the basis for some kind of p4p great career.

    I am not sure if you remember the last Ali Mayweather thread back in February but this is nothing compared to that.

    Floyd might be greater than Ali on intentional fouls actually, Ali’s neck grabbing is nothing on Floyd’s elbow work, if Mayweather was anyone else in this era he never gets away with that ****

    He’s the GOAT. At heavyweight, that is.

    Which I think is better than a guy who was never the goat anywhere and never showed he could be. Great heavyweights shouldn’t be devalued just because they were large people…What does Ali have to do to be better than Mayweather in your mind?
    Are we saying the greatest heavyweight is not above a Floyd type fighter simply because he was a heavyweight?
