    If he would have said Pac is better than him and Ali you pac****s and pbf haters would agree with him. Yet he says this about pbf and he's only joking.

    Foreman has always been a huge admirer of Floyd as you can tell by the high praise he gave him when he used to commentate his fights when Floyd was at Super Feather.

    No Ali was not doing this as a Joke! When he said he was the greatest he meant it!!

    Fighter's are and will always be driven by EGO! Their belief in themselves and their abilities are absolute.

    Every fighter believes in their mind they are the best at what they do, and never would they think, that they are less then any other fighter past or present!

    No way, we are in a very weak era for boxing.

    The late 90s welterweights would kill the current crop (as would the 80s crop as well). The heavyweight division is a joke today, the 80s era would murder the era today (just like the 70s era would beat the 80s).

    Actually Ali was quoted as saying "I just give lip service to being the greatest. They (Robinson and Louis) were."

    He's entitled to his own opinion. Same as everyone in here.

    It is ironic that Foreman whose the antithesis of Mayweather's style, skill or otherwise, but especially style would say this.

    I like the fact the George can be objective when comparing fighters from different eras, don't know if he really believes Mayweather is better than Ali, but so many fighters from past eras lack objectivity when comparing the different eras of boxing.

    Who really gives a ****?

    Muhammad Ali transcended the sport in a way Floyd Mayweather can only dream about. In 1000 years people will still know Muhammad Ali's legacy and his name, Floyd Mayweather? He's just going to be another great pugilist forgotten.

    I am a Mayweather fan but this is basically the truth.

    Ali has a legacy that extends far beyond boxing and he will be remembered as one of the most iconic athletes until the end of mankind.
