winner's mentality
people too busy worrying about kissing ass and giving generic answers that they don't push themselves
i remember when eli said he was the best qb in the league some years back ppl clowned him like he was supposed to bow down to brady and his brother
he ended up winning the superbowl the same year:wow:

the second floyd says ali is better than him is the second he puts a limit of his potential greatness
whether you agree that hes better or not is irrevelant, its that belief in himself that got him to where he is today

you can't exactly knock floyd for feeling this way because he is a prizefighter himself. he's been in there hundreds of times, and knows what it takes. besides, you don't get to his level without that feeling of confidence and indestructibility.

you can debate all day and night who's better. his example of ali beating foreman is valid, but that's not the only way ali fought. he dominated many a fights from start to finish, and his style/quickness was unmatched. i disagree with his point about ali only fighting in one weight class tho. how many heavyweights move up to the division and dominate? he's pretty much discounting all heavyweights from being the best ever because they didn't gradually move up on the scale. that's kinda silly to me.

The best heavyweight boxer ever is the best boxer period if being the best boxer means you can beat everyone else.

No way floyd beats a prime ali he's way too small.

I don't agree, especially if you compare them in their primes, BUT, its not ridiculous for him to say that. Its not like Tim Tebow saying he's better than Joe Montana. Be real, Floyd is 47-0.

skillwise he is but ali had more heart, he went head up with everybody and banged it out and was the last man standing

does floyd even own a passport?

i can't recall him ever leaving the vegas plantation to fight an opponent.

ain't nothing like being internationally acclaimed and getting genuine love from the motherland.
