Laila Ali -- Sorry Mayweather ... My Dad's The Greatest! | TMZ Sports
/ @tmzsports

[@doointhedoo]

Just like her father. Intelligent, brilliant, and classy human being.

[@buddy3218]

ummmm... She seems to be pretty classy. But her father on the other hand...? You should go back and do some research on him. Especially when it comes to, hmmm I don't know, JOE FRAZIER! The guy publicly called Joe Frazier every name in the book and more! There's all kinds of footage on it. Not to mention all of the sneaky crap he pulled to dodge being drafted to war. Just that little bit of knowledge tells me everything I need to know about someone's character.

Laila's right Ali is the greatest. Ali would fight anyone. Mayweather systematically picks and chooses instead of taking all comers.

[@jasonbrittain3316]

the quality of those you beat means more ALI beat legends

[@Allaluca]

Ali is generally considered the greatest SPORTSMEN in the history of mankind, so why were there any doubt as to who's the greatest boxer of all time??

[@soldierviejo8224]

There's plenty to doubt, Ali was brutally KO'd by Larry Holmes and don't give me no crap about he was old and past his prime because all you have to do is check what Mayweather did at 36 and even older. Ali was beaten in his prime by Frazier, knocked down and lost by UD, Floyd was never beaten and in his prime he totally dominated, no one came close to beating him at his prime in 130. Ali had his jaw broken by Norton, yeah this makes you The Greatest! Ali lost to Leon Spinks who at the time only had 7 fights, again Mayweather never lost! Ali was knocked down by Jouneyman Chuck Wepner, Floyd was never officially knocked down, yet Ali still The Greatest, yeah right!! Ali had to cheat his way out of being KO'd in the fight with Cooper when they cut his gloves in the corner to give him more than 10 minutes to recover while they located new gloves after he was viciously knocked down at the end of the round, yet you say he's still a better boxer than Mayweather, yeah right!! Stop with this BS of calling Ali The Greatest just because he said that about himself. He isn't the Greatest, he was just great for what he accomplished outside the ring moreso than what he did in the ring. What Ali accomplished in the ring has already been either eclipsed or surpassed by the likes of Holyfield and Lewis and others. So can we stop with the misplaced "The Greatest" boxer ever crap!!

[@asyrafjalil3506]

@@soldierviejo8224 Well said, Floyd is probably the goat as of today. But I'd still say Ali is the most influential boxer to date.

[@luvmylife812]

I know boxing and Mma are both fighting sports, but training for a boxing match is different. I don't think it makes since to have a girl who never boxed before have a match against Ali. Ronda may be stronger, but you need a lot more than that to be a boxer.

Bryan Ibarra You said Rousey was tougher because she can jab, hook and uppercut. What the fuck are you talking about????? Ali desn't know how to throw a hook?? lmfao yea we get it that she can kick but most importantly it's the judo and jui jitsu. Ronda won't even kick against Ali.
