The debate between LeBron James and Michael Jordan is raging crowds around the world… even among some of the most prestigious athletes. Just recently, for example, Floyd Mayweather got wet.
We no longer present it to you: the debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James has been one of the most widespread on the internet for several years. According to a journalist, the King would also aim for a staggering double before hanging up the sneakers, history of securing the place of GOAT at the expense of the six-time champion.
While waiting to achieve this (or not), discussions continue on the subject, and the last to blow on the embers is called Floyd Mayweather. A guest on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast, he gave a very interesting opinion on the subject:
Floyd Mayweather weighs in on the GOAT debate
« LeBron James, I’m going to choose. If they played against each other, LeBron James is too big and strong and too fast. But if I had to choose one, Ima choose Michael Jordan. »

(Hesitates) I’ll choose… Basically, if they played against each other, LeBron would win. He’s too strong, too powerful, too fast. But if I had to choose one, I would choose Michael Jordan. Because I’m going to pick a guy who’s going to go out there and give his absolute all night.
We find here 2 distinct arguments: that of the supposed superiority of the King over His Majesty in one-on-one, and that of MJ’s killer mentality, superior to that of LeBron. It will obviously be impossible to verify the first argument, while the second remains subjective, but let’s say that “Money” is not by the way.
On the editorial side, we still think that we should not underestimate Jordan face to face with James …
Clever, Floyd Mayweather manages to squeeze both LeBron James and Michael Jordan into his response to the thorny debate. And you, have you decided?
