In my opinion he is not, but I don't begrudge him for thinking he is, it's a comptitive mindset that I belive everyone from a burger flipper to the president of a country should have.

You must be really young.... Ali can be considered a GOAT, but it wasn't public opinion(white folks cosign) until there was a strong marketing\PR campaign to clean up his image....

America hated Ali when he was winning and rebuking white supremacy, but loved him when he was no longer a threat and obviously a shell of himself, and a strong marketing campaign galvanized that empathy

I'm talking today fam. I am far too young to have witnessed Ali fight and see the culture that surrounded that. However, I know all bout what that brother went through, and the scrutiny he endured. I have lived in various countries and let me tell you, TODAY Ali got massive respect from all of them. I am not talking about the "public opinion" in regards to white America, but rather the masses in the World.

What a collective of stupid nikkas in this thread...

The nikka who hasn't even fought and beat Pac yet and brags about being a cherry pick is greater than Ali, a Heavyweight, that beat Smokin Joe Frazier and George Foreman?? Name one person Floyd has ever been in the ring with better than either one of them??

Huge difference between believing in yourself and being a delusional lunatic
Ali also arguably lost fights against Jimmy Young and the third fight with Ken Norton as well as close fights against some completely average heavyweights of the time period.

Do I think he's the greatest? No. I don't think he's better than Muhammad Ali or Sugar Ray Robinson. Hell, I don't even rank him above Sugar Ray Leonard.

That being said, I have no problem with him thinking he's the best. He's earned the right to believe that, and I'd be more upset if he didn't think he was the best

Ray Leonard might (just might) have given Floyd the beats if they ever fought.

I think he means the best boxer in the world has always been considered to be a heavyweight, kinda like the fastest man in the world is always judged by the 100m race and not 200/400 or some long distance run

And I agree with it 100%

It goes back to something I learned as a youth

Nobody is above an ass whooping... No matter how badass they are.. There is somebody out there better

I believe God made an exception for rare breeds like Bruce Lee but outside of that Master Yoda level

Anybody can get... got...

Floyd couldn't beat ALI or many of the guys that ALI beat

Ali laying on the ropes and knocking out George Foreman is a better victory than ANY of the wins Floyd has or could have. I love Floyd but everybody knows that he should have be given at least 2 losses that he got away with

Floyd is the best in his weight class but not the best ever there's only 1

people really in here saying the best heavyweights are automatically the best fighters??:mjlol:

by that logic, i guess the klitchkos are better than mayweather, pacquaio, etc etc.
