    Muhamad Ali is truly a legend. He test himself to the best fighter out there in his era but Floyd avoided the most suitable fighters for him. Although he is a good fighter, but I don't think he's the greatest.

    I can see the comparison. Ali was extremely hated and many people wanted to see him lose, just as with Mayweather today. That's the only comparison though. Legacy and resume it's not even close.

    They're both black but that's just about it. Everything ends there. Ali trash talk cause he wants to get into opponents head. Floyd don't trash talk. Hes just full of himself he thinks he's the greatest, the guy with the most money most cars watches and everything. It's just Floyd being Floyd. His name is synonymous to the word IDIOT. :deal

    the biggest difference between Floyd Mayweather and Muhammad Ali is the quality of the opposition. Ali fought all the best heavyweights of his era and his destruction of undefeated George Foreman in Africa became the stuff legends.

    White people hated both of them and bought their fights to see them lose

    I think Floyd has been hesitant to make the fight because of his past issues with Arum rather than fear of fighting pac.

    Pac on the other hand seems content with fighting whoever big bob tells him to.

    Its a sad scenario unfortunately
