[QUOTE=!! Anorak;2962334]The difference was, Ali was FUNNY, and never said anything as hateful as Floyd did to sell a fight.


please post some "hateful quotes" last time i checked, talking about being rich and undefeated isnt hateful. what did he say?..........

[StackMo]

Ali called opponents ugly and gorilla. Floyd called Hatton fat. Only one fighter was telling the truth.

Sorry man, maybe I misunderstood yours... I thought you meant it overrode my earlier remark about the relevancy of "multi weight champs".

I just mean that people praise the likes of Floyd and Oscar for being multi division titlists, but in the days when there were only eight divisions, then they didn't realistically have that option.
