Floyd Mayweather has a serious boxing legend backing him up that he IS in fact, better than Muhammad Ali! That support comes in the form of George Foreman, who admitted that Floyd is better than both himself and Ali. You know Floyd has been catching a lot of heat lately for believing in himself and saying he is the best fighter of all time, even better than Ali. Well I wonder what people will say now with such a big name in boxing basically agreeing.

“Pound for pound, Floyd is better than me and Muhammad Ali ever were”, says Foreman.
Mayweather received tons of criticism this week after saying HE should be considered the greatest fighter of all time … and now, it seems Foreman’s backing him up in a major way.
“This is a better generation BY FAR,” Foreman tells us … “They’re smarter, they’re stronger, they’re overall just better fighters.”
Of course, Foreman is extremely qualified to weigh in on the subject, having fought Muhammad Ali in the famous, “Rumble in the Jungle” in 1974 … in addition to his 80 other pro fights.
“We were good and we liked the attention that we got. But boxing is on a different level. This is an amazing generation.”
Interestingly enough however, in regards to the upcoming mega fight on May 2nd, Foreman believed Floyd is the better fighter, but still predicts he will lose. He feels Floyd will have his guard down and Manny will be able to steal a couple rounds early and there won’t be enough rounds left to make up the difference.
How do you guys feel about Foreman agreeing with Floyd about him being better than Ali?
