Mayweather is still no George Foreman, look up foreman record.
Yep! Rumble in the jungle! George Foreman was phenomenal ??
76 WINS 68 KO'S
Whats the point of your comment? Does he need Foreman's record to have credibility and be a an undefeated Champion in his category? I think not.
Your young Ben my point is to enlighten millennials to other true champions. I have fought and have been a Boxing fan for 30+ years, before you were born. Mayweather has been put on a pedistle due to promoting the fight. A boxing fan knows he had several fights he shouldn't have won and many of his wins are carry fights, aponents way below his calibre. Is he the greatest fighter, no.
Is George Foreman the greatest Boxer? No...
It really doesn't matter what You or I think. The score remains the same!
