This is Why Floyd Mayweather will never be TBE

[Ego Noir]

And not only Ali, if you speak to the likes of Tyson and many others who did lose fights, but you see that they built a spirit bigger than boxing. Im not talking about the Vietnam situation, but the fact that boxing became a spiritual experience for Ali. They offer a level of wisdom, important to human development, and used boxing as a medium to convey that philosophy to you.

Tyson does the same. Quite a few other greats did the same.

Thats the true mark of a champion, well at least for me.


Ali showed his humanity. His losses showed his mortality, he confessed his weaknesses, but in spite of that mortality, he rose to immortality by deriving something bigger from the sport.


Not walking around with 2 million dollars in cash, buying hollow thots bugattis, doing wheelies on your bike the whole fight, then summarize your whole existence with nothing more than 3 words. Hard work, dedication. And to top it all off, has the gall to say to a entire people, 'What has Africa done for me.

Offer me more.

Great post but if you just go by what's in the ring. He is right there in the discussion. Obviously Ali connected with the masses on a scale not seen by many other athletes including Jordan, Bonds, Brady, Peyton, Tiger etc.. But when we talk boxing, Tyson really doesn't compare to Floyd, and I'm a Tyson defender til the end.

As an icon, Ali stands alone in boxing.

Post it in the real head thread

I was listening to an old Bill Burr podcast where he mentioned an argument with his buddy Paul Virzi where Virzi said that Floyd Mayweather Jr would beat:

Sugar Ray Leonard
Roberto Duran
Tommy Hearns
and Marvin Hagler

Burr's argument was that Mayweather would at best, go 2-2 versus the 4 men.

So coli members, you got $10,000 to bet.

You think Mayweather is beating all 4 men?

Floyd would beat Duran at any other weight aside from 135, but that's about it.

He's not beating the other 3

At 147, he only beats Duran and Marvin Hagler kills him at 160 imo

Close fight would be had with SRL though, but SRL would be too active for him.

Let me think alittle more about Duran vs Floyd at 147 though

I think depending on the weight, a lot would agree that Mayweather beats Duran.

But to this point, has Mayweather fought anyone in his career as good as Duran?

@Newzz @King P

Floyd has fought some very good fighters, but has never fought anybody like a prime Duran

 

[Newzz]

Ok..thought it throw.

Duran would definitely be in for No Mas 2 against Floyd

Depends if he partied and didn't train properly like he did against SRG 2

@Newzz @King P

He hasn't, but if Duran was frustrated with SRL's movement and boxing....he would probably just storm out the ring against Floyd

I just can't see him beating Floyd

 

[King P]

Like I said, I was just talking about Duran at 135. Nobody beats him at LW.

I can definitely see him getting outboxed at the higher weights, but he's not quitting. He didn't quit when he got schooled by Benitez, he's not quitting against Floyd.

The Marvelous One from the Great State of New Jersey is too big for Floyd.

Floyd wouldn't step in a ring with Hearns and SRL/Floyd is 60/40 fight in favor of SRL.

Roger Mayweather feels Duran would beat Floyd, that tells you all you need to know about that fight.

The most winnable fight for Floyd out of that group is SRL imo

I think Duran would be just fine with tagging Floyd on the arms/shoulders.

He got frustrated because he couldnt tag SRL at all, SRL's footwork is better than Floyds imo.
