floyd is losing his head........

[niceguy45]

The only reason Ali got away with it was because he was funny, articulate and intelligent. He made people laugh, people warmed to him and loved him. I'd have no problem Maywhether doing it, if he did it well. But he isnt, he's making the casual fan hate him.

right it's called carissma

[Benny Leonard]

True. I guess it's because how he decided to fight Baldomir, I was a little dissapointed myself, but in reality, it's whatever a fighter chooses to do to win a fight. I like Mayweather alot, but I think it's pretty obvious, he's only going after the big name fighters out there, and they're all from another era De La Hoya. If he's p4p king right now, he should defend his crown against up and comin' cats for a little while, at least. He keeps talkin about he undefeated, and he knockin on fighters wit a loss on their record, but he never (to my knowledge) fought anybody who's undefeated and was good too.(Cotto, Hatton) Well, I really want him to fight Cotto after De La Hoya, but again, he do what he wants.

That's my Mayweather bash(if you wanna call it that, lol) for the day.

Bob Arum didn't want to put Cotto in there with Mayweather, so that isn't Mayweather's fault. Arum wanted Mayweather to fight who? Margarito. That's right, Margarito. Why? because Margarito isn't marketable and Arum didn't mind losing someone that can't draw a crowd, unlike Cotto.

Hatton has refused to fight Mayweather, not Mayweather's fault.

I would like to see Mayweather fight both of them too, but it takes two to tango.

Its called 'charisma', but you are correct. A natural charisma can help you avoid a lot of the pit-falls that many boxers who JUST come looking arrogant cannot seem to step over.

I never claimed that I laughed at his racial remarks, did I? In fact, I didnt go into detail at all. I know how to use my words, so please dont try and plant them for me.

Ali fought and ridiculed a lot more men than Frasier mate and most of the time, the whole world laughed along with him. I'm afraid that I wasnt around at the time, so I cant be held accountable for what everyone found funny.

You know why they laughed?

Because they are all bullies or have been bullied at one time, and wanted to laugh at someone else.

But what happens when he turns it around to them? Not so funny anymore.


This is why Tyson went off at the Lewis press conference when somebody told him something like "put him in a straight jacket or something like that". So Tyson turned it around and responded back. What happened to the guy? He **** himself.

I dont think that a generalising assumptive amateur psychologocial analysis into the nature of humour is necessary in this particular discussion.

Charisma is rare.


Hitler had it. Boy, he ws funny

He may not be popularly conceived as funny, but hell...look what he achieved. His charisma almost got him domination over the world.

I rank Hitler higher than Napoleon in this department. I used to always here stories in my history class how "Napoleon rose up from nothing to gain power"...I would say, "Really?" "Napoleon went to a great school in France, made some great contacts because of his family, etc."

"Hitler, now there is a great story from **** to Power."

It's a shame we didn't have Film back when Napoleon was around, I would of loved to see how he gave speeches.

Hitler's speeches are incredible to watch.



And No, I am not a ****. LOL

True. I didn't even know that. And after seeing Margarito fight Clottey, I wouldn't care if he fought either Baldomir or Margarito. It just all seems set up to me.

Arum talked about putting Cotto with Mayweather saying, "he'll break Mayweather in two". I dunno if he meant in two peices or two rounds, lol. This was after Mayweather left Arum, though, so I guess he changed his mind.

re

floyd is rediculous for saying he will go down in history as the best pfp fighter, sugar ray robinson didn't lose until his 40th fight (had a perfect 101-0 amateur career) and he avenged that loss later THAT SAME MONTH... didn't lose another fight between 1943 and 1952, had over 100 fights, there is no way floyd can quit now and even compare himself to sugar ray, no way...
