I don't think Mike is overrated in his place in boxing history.


But....his place isn't ever going to be "he beat the best comp. or he could take out any of the best heavyweights of all time"

yall are overrating him right now by syaing he could beat Ali....

but he ISN'T overrated by saying he's a headhunter who knocked motherfuckers the fuck out.....He tore shit up back in the day........ Does that make him the best boxer ever? Nahh... but was he a good puncher with some power and quickness to his punches? Yessir!

I know what you mean Rim, LoL...I know EXACTLY what you mean...

Again, we aren't saying Mike wasn't a fucking ring demon, but saying he's in Ali's class...That's not fair to either of them...Boxing is boxing, and any man can be knocked out, but to assume that Mike would ravage Ali, when both Mike's and Ali's careers show the contrary, that's a bit much...

I saw this .gif, and it made me think of this thread...Peep...



See how easy he made that shit look..? As if he couldn't see Mike throwin' them short ass hooks...

IF Mike could hit Ali, he would flatline him...But I've seen MT get frustrated by much lesser boxers than that man...Prime vs Prime, Ali would have knocked Mike's gold toof out...

I mean, honestly...That's another professional fighter in the ring, and he's seeing them punches like he's in his head...And upon further review, dude tried to hit him with the left like 4 times, and he even mixed up the sides he threw the punches to...Dude threw 5 shots of varying velocity and loction, and Ali dodged them all and didn't even bring his arms up from his sides...

Fucking amazing shit man...
