    I agree Mayweather is better than Ali. Ali is the most overrated boxer in history, more of a political symbol than anything else. Also, his form was extremely shaky towards the end of his life.

    Neither are the best boxers in history. You could argue that neither crack the top ten.

    Apollo Creed for me. 47-1 with 46 ko’s.

    Lost one competitive fight by literally one second to a legend and another in an exhibition to a guy on ‘roids when washed up.

    Dude didn't Rocky lose, like 20 fights? Not to mention, Drago hadn't even had one pro fight!

    There's no such thing really.. it's purely subjective & personal opinion. My favourite fighters are Duran, Marciano, Locche & Holyfield.. Arguing the toss over a silly label is asinine. Stop point scoring & just appreciate them for what they were in their day, because you'll never prove it one way or the other... but if I were to imagine Floyd in with the likes of a Hearns or a prime Oscar I dont think it ends well for him..

    SERENITY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Neither one of them are the greatest boxer ever. Floyd ain't even top 20 IMO, although Ali definitely is. I will say that Floyd is very likely the most gym dedicated boxer in history however

    Floyd's not even in the conversation for the greatest fighter ever as he is not even the greatest fighter from his own era.

    The existence of Mike Tyson among others completely disproves your claim of Ali being the most overrated. The guy has the deepest resume in heavyweight boxing history, including the likes of Norton, Foreman, Liston, Lyle, Shavers, Patterson, Frazier. The take of him being overrated is really without merit and lacks any real substance.

    Tragic in a way grown men run around fawning after Floyd buying his TBE hats. Pathetic. I’d almost ban the OP for the drivel

    Charlie Zelenoff is the GOAT.

    TMT blackballed him after he wiped out the best fighter at their gym.
