    Not sure if I said it in this thread before, but Ali's big mouth was more controversial than Floyd's. He was remembered for the things he had done outside the ring as well, like situations in Civil rights and standing up for his religion, etc.

    Floyd will never be more popular than Ali, I guarantee that.

            Muhammad Ali is a household name and has been for close to 40 years. I don't see anything Floyd will do or has done that would put him over Ali in any way. Just because he contributes to charity doesn't make him some type of Mother Teresa that everyone will look up to. He doesn't stand for anything but what's best for Floyd.

            Ali stood up for his religious beliefs and his human rights with the whole situation with him choosing not to be drafted to the war thus being stripped of his titles that he was never beaten for. He's had way more memorable fights and defied the odds when he beat George Foreman (who was a killer in that era). Plus, his lighting of the torch in the Olympics is one of the most emotional & inspiring moments in not only sports history but this country's history as well.



            I can see you being a very avid fan of Floyd, but dude...Ali is a staple in this country's history. Floyd will just be remembered for being a great fighter.

              THE TITLE was just to get you guys to c0me into the thread.... FLOYD will never be as popular as Ali....PERIOD!!!


              People think you have to be popular in order to be a draw.....THAT is a MYTH..., and FACTS just dont support it...


              The point of this Thread is Floyd doesnt need to be popular to be a draw....
              His drawing power comes from being Notorious, and being a celebrated fighter

                But then in the title of the thread you state:

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

                So were you just trying to start a debate with that title alone knowing the majority of the people would disagree heavily?

                  He needs more than his nowstanding resume. Not saying it's bad, but it's nothing compared to Ali...
