Michael Jai White Reacts to "Top 20 Greatest Fighters Of All Time" List (Part 18)

Watch Full Interview: • Michael Jai White on D...
Part 17: • Michael Jai White on H...
Part 19: • Michael Jai White Rate...
--------
Michael Jai White reacted to WatchMojo's list of the top 20 greatest fighters. He addressed rankings, from Willie Pep at 20 to Sugar Ray Robinson at number 1, revealing notable names, including Jack Dempsey, Daniel Cormier, and Roberto Duran. Vlad and Michael Jai White debated historical and modern competitors in the boxing and mixed martial arts world, such as 14th-ranked Floyd Mayweather Jr, whom they contested should rank higher, and 13th-ranked Khabib Nurmagomedov, whose overall skill set was praised. The hosts questioned Manny Pacquiao's higher ranking than Mayweather, given their head-to-head history, and acknowledged Roy Jones Jr. as having their top-rated offense. The clip included a debate about the sports' greats and how varying fight styles impact rankings. The evolution of technique and the changing physical stature of fighters were also discussed. Bruce Lee's second-place ranking sparked a debate about comparing sports to martial arts, given their combative differences.

[@Jayy123ify]

Jon Jones is the GREATEST fighter of ALL TIME. All around, skill for skill. Kicks, punches, elbows, movement, etc. He levels above everyone on this list when it comes to a fight with NO limitation. Boxing is just hands. They wouldn’t know what to do with a calf kick, or an elbow to the face, or a round house kick to the face. A street fight, a top tier MMA fighter is beating any top tier boxer. A Tyson, or someone like that would have a punchers chance cause of the power and speed…. But if kicks and elbows are involved, or grappling… it’s a whole different ball game.

[@thomasakarue5899]

Jon Jones is widely regarded as the greatest MMA fighter all time but he is not the greatest fighter of ALL TIME.😮 That's hyperbole.

​@@therumbleinthejunglee When George took up boxing and got in the ring for the first time, he began throwing his opponents around and stuff, and the coach had to educate him about the ruleset and that he'll have to whoop with his fists only. That's what George was alluding to when he said that he'd be a MMA fighter today. But if he'd really pick MMA over boxing, nobody knows, including him. Look how much the elite heavyweights like Fury and Joshua earn compared to UFC fighters. As a matter of fact it's questionable wether George would be fighting at all. Back then he grew up without the possibility to go to college... Football and basketball wasn't what it later would become. If George was born 40 years later, he'd have totally different opportunities.

[@beefcakebrown]

Joe Louis guard is the fundamental guard ALL great fighters had. Some just put a little flavor to it, like Ray Robinson or Ali and Ray Leonard. Mike Tyson had a unique, side to side technique that was different, but the greats had the Joe Louis style that was modified by Eddie Fitch and Emmanuel Steward. Floyd Mayweather jr modified a bit more and incorporated the old school Philly shell, and became the best ever, but it starts with the fundamental Joe Louis style the MJW is belittling. Fighters today aren't as good because they DONT fight with this technique, instead, they use the modern Mexican fighting style for the most part, standing upright, on the center line, instead of off to the side, lead hand out, right hand defending the hook, old school style, dig?

Its not about who beat who. Manny Pacquiao came up from straw weight and was dominating natural middle weights like dela hoya and moseley. Listen to max Kellerman break down how impressive it is to be an EIGHT division champion. Thats why he's high on list. That and he absolutely wrecking fighters at 120lb. Something that had never been seen before a 120 pounder with power. And yes a wrestler would give a boxer problems but why pretend like a boxer wouldn't give a wrestler problems. Why pretend like mastering one style makes you more of a dominant fighter than someone whos mastered another discipline? BOXING IS FIGHTING this isnt debatable. A great boxer will give ANYBODY smoke. There's a difference between knowing how to hit and being able to hit. A mma guy may have trained his hands to break stuff but what good is that against a trained boxer if you cant land any of those strikes.

[@user-fi6hn8nz4w]

I agree with your Pacquiao point but not the other. An elite MMA guy will pretty much always beat the elite boxer in a MMA or street fight. Boxing is a sport when someone is knocked down you get a chance to get up, that doesn't happen in MMA. Wrestlers will still have better kicks, knees and elbows than the boxers they're stronger in the clinch with much better knowledge of ji jitsu too. That's why MMA guys have to cross over to boxing because it wouldn't be as competitive boxers going to MMA. James Toney Vs Randy Couture is a good example.

It's like CR7 Vs Messi. (My opinion) I think CR7 is the more complete footballer and is better than Messi but Messi is GREATER as he has achieved more and won everything. Greater Vs Better are two different things.

[@marvinj1000]

Of course he hate on Bruce Lee I think Bruce Lee is on the list because of his impact and putting martial arts on the map and influencing a lot of people to do martial arts

[@kevin084life]

Yeah but he is no way near No.2 as a legit fighter. This is a list of best fighters not most influential.

[@magadexaba6108]

Is he amongst the greatest fighters though?

[@marvinj1000]

It depends on people opinions people say he the greatest martial artist for years so I don’t know

[@rickocconnell9056]

Joey Orbillo sparred with bruce and said he could do nothing to bruce

[@foregone0703]

How is it hate lol?? Bruce Lee above the likes of Jon Jones, come on. The impact he’s had on martial arts is undeniable but he’s not a “fighter” lol, stop it. Let’s be real, he was great, but he’s immortalised because he’s most people’s introduction into martial arts and he died so young. I’m sure he’d kick the shit out of most people, but let’s not go too far. He was ahead of his time but some of these myths are ridiculous

[@faithshade1430]

Ok so he doesn’t want to make a list of fighters as they are skilled in their respective sport but he has zero problem making a pound for pound argument. You might believe Mayweather is a better fighter than Tyson but you know in reality there’s no chance mayweather could beat Tyson in any kind of combat situation.

… kinda sounds like father times catching up with my guy

Vlad doesn’t know basic slavery history that we learn in 4th grade in the u.s

[@RashawnEvans-me8eq]

Listen guys this is MJW's opinions don't lose sleep or get a gray hair over it. Respect to Jai white,an I respect he's choices.

[@DoubleKAllday]

That list is Krazy😂

[@brandonlandry5257]

That List is MAD embarrassing! 😂

[@rodrigopresotto9009]

I'm sure he doesnt know about how good the great Joe Louis was!!

[@user-cw7ly8nu5j]

I was waiting for Steven segal as number 1

[@Khaled4life]

Aikido is litterally the 💩

[@gogolouie7768]

#1 of all time, Bruce Lee!!

[@robarmstrong5404]

The only guy on that list that actually fought people way bigger than him was Fedor. He was fighting guys over 150lbs more than him and slamming them like ragdolls.

[@Danny-hj2qg]

Yoel Romero. Bas Rutten.

[@jeremykyle9352]

It's almost like the list is upside down

[@ken-oy8qr]

What about Haglar and Hitman Hearns..The list is TRASH 🗑

[@lukasuton2433]

Igor Vovchanchin, M.Cro Cop Filipović

[@sydf2560]

Regarding the names, I often wondered about my favourite boxer growing up - Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins being a prominent Irish name. Could have been a slave owner...

[@tw3543]

He's never seen joe louis fight.

[@Ocelotonatiuh]

Exactly! The Brown Bomber never had that traditional 1800s/1900s pugilist stance. In fact Joe Louis was the first boxer to NOT have that weird stance, ushering in the new 21st Century way of boxing. Big fan of MJW but he's way off the mark on this one.

[@tw3543]

He was thinking of Jack Johnson.

[@SuperJuniorquintero]

I don't recall Lenox Lewis on this list. If he is I probably missed it.

[@KingBradley-mv5fe]

He wasn’t which is crazy, he beat the number 5 guy on this list too. Lenox continues to get disrespected and under appreciated.

[@SuperJuniorquintero]

He beat all the top contenders in his time including Tyson and Holyfield, etc. @@KingBradley-mv5fe
