FLOYd might one day BE MORE POPular than ALI.....!!!!

[Horus]

his acting on WWE sucks

His music sucks

His fighting isnt even tha tentertaining, and he wont fight the best ni his own sport


and this is coming from someone who has floyd as my 2nd fav fighter lol

LoL...

what happen..?

[THE REED]

i think it would be REALLY hard for PBF to get the kinda love that Ali got.

Ali WAS notorius and talked alot of **** about his opponents, but his life OUTSIDE of boxing is what made Ali a global icon. The political and social atmosphere of his era was far different than it is now. Ali was a figure and messenger of social change which made him loved by those who sought justice and equality and hated by those who denied and feared change. Since the country and world was collectively moving in a positive direction, the voices of those who felt Ali was a threat were drowned out by the praise and acceptance of those who welcomed change.

The parallels between Ali and PBF are many of course. Both were considered to be the best of their eras. Their promotional antics are very similair in the way they sell their fights, demeaning and offending many with outspoken behavior and arrogant banter. But that is where it stops. PBF does not stand for anything other than himself and money. The world cheered and accepted Ali because he stood for something immaterial. He was the people's champ. Where as Floyd, well, like I said, there isnt much he stands for but himself and his money.

end of thread.

I cant Argue with this Post....


Except for That Floyd does give back....

He has a whole organization for Battered Women (BEEN DOing that for years)
He feeds families for thanksgiving(BEEN DOing that for years)
He goes to schools in the inner city and gives kids speechs and buy them clothes...

He even open up a boxing gym in His home town for the kids....
**** he even throws out money to people who dont even like him...

So to say he doesnt give back, is not being fair....

The dude does do his charity but the media doesnt focus on that...

yeah im sure he gives back. i mean dude BETTER with all that gwap he's making, but if he were to show that side of him, i know he would get alot more fans and recognition. thats what i dont understand though, is he trying not to show that side because he just wants to be hated? ionno

Man The dude said it his self....
Their has to be a good guy and a Bad guy....

and he has choosen to be the Bad guy...

Like i said before I don’t think WHAT Floyd is doing is a bad thing....
Some of the most "Famous and successful" people history has ever known
Have been more "Notorious" than Popular... or Have been "Notorious" before they became "Popular"

Al Capone
2pac
Biggie
Ali
Malcolm X
Kobe Bryant
Terrell Owens
Deion Sanders
Britney Spears
Charles Barkley
Scarface (Tony Montana)
The list goes on....




Floyd will become a Fan Favorite one day. but right now I dont see no reason to stop what he is doing... THE **** IS WORKING....

"If it aint broke dont fix it..."

He tryed the good guy role early in his career it didnt work..
Now he is the ultimate bad guy and it's working....

[Left2body]

Floyd is smart and his being a "bad" guy is calculated. He realized why WWE and comic books are so popular among males 12-28. Its because they put BAD guys vs GOOD guys. He realized that he wont win the good guy title against fan darlings like Gatti and DLH.

PBF probably increased the ppv buys of his fights with DLH and Hatton by 50% just with his **** talking. DLH and Hatton fans couldn't wait for PBF to get KO'd and for the "bad" guy to be vanquished.

If Cotto, who has a more exciting fighting style (Gatti-ish in his ability to get hurt and come back with KO's). If Cotto played up the bad guy role like PBF does he would be making twice as much as he does now per fight and DLH would've fought him (better style matchup) than PBF.

PBF plays a good bad guy to but he will never ever ever ever be as popular as Ali. Ali transcended sports and was a cultural icon.
