    To Kobe?i don't know what to say.Jordan is leagues above Kobe.

    Lebron have atleast a claim.and good one,but still favour Jordan over Lebron 10 times out of 10.

    His Airness is close to GOAT in any sport ever.

    Kobe was only couple of seasons best player in the game.Jordan almost 10yrs.

    James could have a real chance to pass Jordan,if he would not freeze in the 4ry quarter so often.

    Bulls vs Jazz game 6 last minute tells all about Jordan.he refused to lose

    Disagreed. I think Andy is a very good fighter, but he lacks the skills, consistency, ring IQ, and athleticism that Hearns had.

    In this era they would have run from him and then pointed at his resumé as a reason why they didn't have to fight him.
    And some here would have called him Duckonard because of that resume

    Destroys everyone bar GGG. Ggg he decisions in a 8-4/10-5 type of fight.

    There we have it.. GGG is leagues above prime Floyd Mayweather, and is amongst the greatest fighters of all time.. I'm not sure when it happened, but GGG has passed everyone from this era on the ATG list.. Right next to prime Tyson...

    So everyone who says GGG beats Leonard thereby suggests that GGG is better than Hagler was?

    He'd wipe the floor with everyone at 47 and 54. He'd probably beat everyone at 160 lbs too.

    Leonard might be the 2nd or 3rd greatest WW in the history of the sport. He had a great blend of size, speed and power for the division.

    He's just too good for anyone from 147-160.

    Kobe was a better scorer then Jordan ever was and Kobe is better defensively. Also nobody works harder then Kobe. Get Jordans **** out your mouth, he is not the Closest thing to a GOAT. That award goes to Wayne Gretzky. Dude has ****ing Video Game numbers and is so far ahead of the other greats it's not even funny.

    Btw I'm not saying Kobe is better then Jordan, it's just Jordan is not leagues better. Kobe is a close second to Jordan for best SG of all time.

    How, let me hear your argument instead of hurling a baseless command followed by a statement with no merit.

    It doesn't deserve a response.

    The current era is weak.

    I can't see GGG staying undefeated in the late 80s-early 90s, where he'd be up against Nunn, Toney, McCallum, RJJ, and Hopkins.
