    It's the AP anyway, It's an American award. They can nominate athletes from all over the world but they won't usually win because it's hilariously biased.

    That said, I like LeBron and he's up there with the best. I can't say he's better than someone like Messi though. They are on the same level for their respective sports.

    Football is the most played and most popular sport in the world no other sport even comes close.

    Messi >Lebron.

    He was very popular in his day now most of the people under 40 dont have a clue who he is.

    Floyd uses the criteria of undefeated as the most important one. So he has a ready answer for why he is the best, regardless of lack of fighting prime greats.

    Let's not talk about the whole world of sport, even in American sport community, I don't think Floyd has bigger name than LeBron James, Serena Williams, Michael Phelps.

    In America most people wouldn't be able to pick out mesi if you paid them. NFL is king here by a large gap then NBA MLB and then NCAA football

    Utter BS Everyone knows Ali. At the rumble in the jungle in Zaire they were driving along a dirt road suddenly people started lining the road. There was no real civilization yet they began to chant Ali !! Ali!! Ali!! It amazed Ali that they knew who he was. That was in the book My Life & Times Muhammad Ali written by Thomas Hauser

    FlIVd had like 9 fights in the decade. Canelo went 23-1-1 with a solid resume.

    Do you even read the posts you reply to ? I said people 40 or under most dont know who the hell Ali is .
    You quoting a book about an event that happened 50 or so years ago is irrelevant .

    Just like in the rest of the world most people dont even know what the NFL is. Worldwide Messi and Ronaldo are the two biggest sportstars with Ronaldo being number one due to his high profile lifestyle he has more followers in social media than any other athlete in the world hell forget athlete hes the most followed person on instagram and facebook in the world.

    Im going to reply to the ignorant softcock who seems happy to insult other posters that don’t share his love of FMJ and is happy to throw insinuations of racism then run away like the coward he/she is.

    My username is a homage to my Celtic roots in Ireland, it’s the original meaning of the word ‘clan’ and if you weren’t so ill educated, bigoted and ignorant you might notice it begins with a ‘C’ and not a ‘K’!

    How about you wind your idiotic neck in a bit and actually treat other posters opinions with some respect.
    If that’s beyond the minuscule capacity of your tiny intellect then maybe a forum, where opinions are shared, isn’t the place for you!

    ...what decade does he think it is? Maybe Maidana's punches finally caught up to him and he's going punchy. :nusenuse:

    **** off if you don't like it then do something about ****boi. Your post was trash one I easily refuted showing how stupid and how little credibility you have when you call one of the best fighters to ever lace up a pair of gloves not an universally seen ATG despite him wining fighter of the decade and every fighter who has won that award is an ATG. I then asked you to name the ATG fighters of this era and you refused because you already knew it would expose you. It's not my fault that you can't separate your bitchmade hate and give due to a fighter you don't like just like trolls do.

    He definitely deserves it.... he's undefeated and beaten the best of the best.
