    Mayweather was better, Usyk was a lot better for the sports. 2 questions need to be asked

    Its okay if we disagree. Floyds career ended 10 years ago. Its had time to appreciate. Usyks is still going. Time will tell.

    Mayweather laid the blueprint for people like Tank, Ryan Garcia, AJ, and even Pacquiao to get paid. He was also among thr first to out Olympic style drug testing in contracts. Usyk simply takes fights and gives goofy interviews.

    "Usyk has already fought everyone. He didnt wait anyone out."

    This is blatantly false.


    "And Usyk actually fought giants, people who were larger, longer, heavier, stronger, etc."

    Three people. Three. This sentence uses over 4x as many words as giants Usyk beat. Dubois is 2 inches taller. Joshua is 3 inches taller. Usyk isn't even the shortest guy to beat Anthony Joshua.

    The size difference is much, much bigger than what Floyd had to deal with.

    You're one of the people here im talking about. People outside of this forum actually give pbf respect and recognize his greatness which is why he was named the best fighter of the 21st century by the ring. People like you who cant be rational can continue to be bitter while people like me are proven right.

    I have said numerous times that Floyd was a great fighter I have never said anything bad about his boxing ability. I laugh at people like you who make stupid statements like "Floyd is 10000 light years better than other elite fighters" I get that there are people who think that Floyd is better than Usyk but I also understand why people would rate Usyk higher than Floyd. I recognize that they are both great and hard to split it's a matter of preference. I have no problem if someone rates Floyd higher but you have a meltdown if someone rates Usyk higher and claim it is based on hate :lol:

    That list is **** ... they have Bud over Inoue despite Crawford being a weight grifter his entire career.. & they have cinnamon over all the other Mexican greats like JMM & Barrera .. & i rate Loma but his resume isn't comparable to many other 21st century greats. Manny is the best fighter of the 21st century. Wlad should be on that list too. Crawford at 3 is ridiculous.. all his best wins were faded & some can barely talk.

    The claim is based on logic with numbers. Pbf has as many championship fights than usyk has total fights let that sink in. There's no way you can rate someone with 24 fights whose best win is fury as greater than pbf:deal: for whatever reason probably because of hate mixed with bitterness you refuse to see it. In no world other than this forum is usyk seen as greater.

    Too bad for you your opinion is irrelevant outside of this forum. When the ring named pac fighter of the decade it was all good. When thet named inoue and usyk fighters of the year then it's all good but let them put pbf the best fighter of the era as the best of the 21st century there's a problem. I get it you're mad lol

    The lopsided poll speaks for itself. Not surprised that certain folk on here are very upset about it.

    Yep a forum full of hardcore fans who follow the sport closely or some paid shills who work for publications aimed at casuals. Hmmmm that's a tough choice :lol: It must just be hate and bitterness why Floyd is losing in such a lopsided poll :lol:
