Both Ali & Tyson did The wrestling thing, what the problem with Mayweather doing it?

[Ryn0]

2 of the biggest names in the history of the sport did it, why are people criticizing Mayweather so much??

because it didnt interfere with either of there careers, ali still fought and didnt take half the year of to wrestle neither did Tyson. It was one of Tyson many distractions and eventually they all caught up with him ala douglas.

It's wrong now because...back when Ali did it,wrestling was 'real'.

Just kidding....the Ali venture into the wrestling ring was the biggest rip-off in history,probably right up there next to Evil Kinevel's Snake River canyon 'jump'.

If someone is entertained by this bull****,more power to them...

[Verstyle]

Tyson and Ali were heavyweights, so its more realistic for them to actually fight WWE fighters. Floyd? Floyd? Dudes, max, 155lbs. It just doesnt seem right for him to be facing any of the wrestlers besides that midget thats a leprechaun.

"Mayweather Double-Standard"

1. Cant Fight Nobody who is his same size or smaller then him or it isnt a fair fight...
(Have to fight Bigger Opponents for the fight to be Fair...)
2. No tune up's fights
3. Gotta be Fighting every 4 Months..
4. Gotta focus only on Boxing
5. Cant fight for Money, He has to fight to proved what he already is.. and that is Number #1
6. Anybody he fights and beats is a bum until somebody else beats them, then that's that Fighter career Achievement.
7. You only can Compare Floyd to All Time Greats or it dont Count
8. Floyd whole resume doesnt Count... Just only 2 years of his resume
9. Floyd cant turn down no fight...
10. Floyd must Fight every fighter in Boxing to proved he is Number #1

It is true. The reason people say these things about him is exactly because he is #1. No other boxer has to deal with anything like this level of expectation.

I still don't think he should do wrestling though.

Because Mayweather's a ****.

Joe Louis did a bit of wrestling too, didn't he?

Joe Louis did it to try and pay off debts off, if I remember correctly.

Mayweather doesn't need to do it, he's just greedy for cash and doesn't mind being an embarrassment to boxing.

11) Must defend welterweight belts by fighting OTHER WELTERWEIGHTS...

11) Must defend welterweight belts by fighting OTHER WELTERWEIGHTS; while miguel cotto can fight an mayorga and delahoya and it's not a foul
