Mayweather previously criticised Ali during an appearance on ESPNs SportsCenter and challenged how the Greatest could rank ahead of him as the best boxer. Money also snubbed the former two-time WBC heavyweight champ from his top five rankings on ESPN, with Mayweather criticising Alis performances against Ken Norton. Speaking to Fat Joe on Instagram Live, Mayweather said his new top three would include himself, Pernell Whitaker was second and Roberto Duran ranked third. The former five-weight world champs choices included only one place for a heavyweight boxer, with boxing legend Larry Holmes getting the nod. Mayweather told the American rapper: Were going to have to go, OK, well go Money Mayweather, we got to go Pernell Whitaker, imma go Roberto Duran -- man, you put me in a tight predicament. *As far as with the heavyweights, if we're going to go heavyweights, Im going to be honest, I've got to go Larry Holmes.* Fat Joe challenged Mayweather on his choice of Holmes and claimed the Easton Assassin was not better than the likes of Ali or Mike Tyson. However, Mayweather stood firm on his choice and provided an in-depth breakdown on why he selected Holmes for the No 4 spot. Larry Holmes beat everybody in his era, when Larry Holmes got beat by Mike Tyson, he got beat by a young, hungry champion and he came out of a years retirement and got beat by Tyson, he explained. I've got to say Larry Holmes, he had the basic fundamentals, he had the jab and even right now he's still living a great life because he made smart investments. So, he was good from the beginning of his career to the end of his career. Mayweather rounded off his top five rankings with former two-time light welterweight champ Aaron Pryor. The Hall of Famer explained: Aaron Pryor, the only reason why Aaron Pryor lost a fight was because of drugs, he lost only one fight because of drugs. Mayweather blasted Alis famed rope-a-dope technique during an extraordinary rant, as well as calling out the boxing resume of legendary former boxer Rocky Marciano. *Tyson has pulled no punches towards Mayweather over his [Mayweather's] claim that he is better than Ali, with Iron Mike calling his fellow boxing legend very delusional.* --- "Art is how we decorate space; Music is how we decorate time." -Jean Michel Basquiat <cite>brestugo posted [p:961422152] in Floyd Mayw...

Not really fair since Tyson was a heavyweight. But Tyson was faster than any person that size should've been. And he's always talked up as being very offensive, but Tyson actually was a defensive/counter boxer, but had more strength than someone like Mayweather.

Tyson's boxing style was actually very old school / orthodox but with an unusual combination of speed and strength. I wouldn't call peek-a-boo style orthodox. Tyson was taught to box ambidextrous with both hands up and both feet squared to the opponent with lots of lateral torso movement. It was good for Tyson because it fit his relatively short, powerful stature with its focus on closing in on taller opponents, quick combos and lunging hooks. When he ditched Kevin Rooney his fundamentals slipped and he lost to Buster Douglas.

Norman_Smiley 01/03/22 2:06:30 AM #24:	It's strange he puts Duran on his list to me. Maybe he was a fan of Duran's clinching? Even though its completely different than Floyd's. Duran's clinching opened up his offensive, he used his head to break guards and move hands out of the way nearly head butting. Floyd's clinching was to tire out his opponent / keep himself out of danger. It was rarely used offensively. Lots of great clinchers in the past used it offensively. Foreman's clinching from his first run is art. Seemed like it was the 90s when that all changed and everyone starting clinching to stall. A few still do it well, like Ricky Hatton but most were like the Clinchko brothers. --- http://i.imgur.com/BVBQC.jpg The big wiggle equals ratings. <cite>Norman_Smiley posted [p:961428207] in Floyd Mayw...
