Not everyone knew he was joking, and I'll give you that Ali's antics were significantly more charming, but they were also to sell tickets, and I honestly think JR's antics are to sell tickets as well (without getting all freudian about it) I think the Reason why ali will be remembered forever, and mayweather will fade into oblivion is Because of the level of competition
If Mayweather Would Have Been Knocked Down....

I honestly concider Mayweathers Style, boring like a really good ChessMatch, or a defensive game of football with only a field goal scored. I loved watching Mayweather fight, sometimes i was rooting for him, sometimes against him, My Only Dissapointment was I don't feel like he ever really proved to me he was the best, and I think if you're going to make that claim you have to prove it. A flawless record doesn't make you the best in my mind, Hagler comes to mind, when he lost, he came back and avenged the loss,Comment

The only people who didnt know Ali was a charmer and joker was the KKK and white supremes.Not everyone knew he was joking, and I'll give you that Ali's antics were significantly more charming, but they were also to sell tickets, and I honestly think JR's antics are to sell tickets as well (without getting all freudian about it) I think the Reason why ali will be remembered forever, and mayweather will fade into oblivion is Because of the level of competition
Competition of floyd jr avoiding the top dogs while ali saying he was the goat and even as champion seeking out the best going overseas going to there hometowns to fight.
Floyd jr is retired and he is a **** said he was greater then ray robinson and brags about cash.
If floyd jr is just an act how come he aint even charming in his personal life? people who have met him said the guy has no personality at all he stutters and he is insecure with issues.
Ali could go to philipines, africa and the kids flocked to him he was a charmer his smile his personality people knew he was a kind man. Ali always had that twinkle in his eye.
Ali even said ray robinson was the best.
Something floyd jr doesnt say he say ray robinson has losses so he cannot be the best lol.Comment

And guess who brought all the pretty stuff to Mayweather-Hatton?
- Those clean, straight, neck-snapping rights Floyd hit him with the whole fight.
- The masterclass of switching up pace and variety up in the 8th.
- The jab exhibition in the 9th.
- The cinematic knockdown in the 10th.
- The brutally sharp and precise combination to finish.
Floyd brought all the flash and excitement to that fight.
If it had been Hatton's way --- we'd have gotten a boring maulathon.Comment

and Joe Frazier.
Ali was loved world around because alot of what he did outside the ring, as well as When Ali Said he was the best, and someone would say, "no, theres this guy who could beat you" ali went and beat the guy. People love a champ, even if he's a talker, if he backs up what he says.Comment

It has nothing to do with the way he fights, it has to do with the way he acts. He runs his mouth, and fights like a *****. If you are gonna run your mouth you gotta fight like Mayorga. If you are gonna fight like a *****, you better be quite.Hey man I'm a mayweather fan... I'm just wondering why he is Honestly Disliked so much...
I think mayweather won the first castillo fight.. but the way you addressed it probably would drive some other fans away from other mayweather fans or even mayweather prally. But anyway
Yea i want him to fight cotto too.. but then marg w ill want his shot.. then hatton wants his remathc then oscar wants his then berto thinks he's ready.. then Castillo is coming back for a trilogy... and so on.. know wha i mean.Comment

Right cos his family say he's a nice guy, it must be true....Are you Joking? He and his family stated numerous times that Floyd is not really like that.Did you see the way he embraced Hatton affter the fight and how he has done that to all the fighters he fought.There always has to be a good guy and a bad guy if not than no intrest will be put into the fight by the fans.Mayweather is a smart buisness man as well as a smart fighter.Hatton is the one who called out Mayweather and talked nearly just as much **** as him but he gets praised as a hometown hero.
His own father thinks he's a twat.
All fighters embrace after the bell. Thats part of the game. Im not really concerned about how he treated Hatton, even though its uncalled for. Hatton talked **** to retaliate and even still, it was tongue in cheek, Ive never seen Hatton trash talk anyone else.
Its the constant proclaimations of greaters, delusions of granduer, his self-importance, greed and money-driven persona that annoys people about Floyd. Hes not a real person.Comment

Yeah calling Joe Frazier an Uncle Tom and Gorilla, Real likable huh? Real charmer. Give me some of the stuff your smoking, seriously. Ali is one of my all time favourites by the way.Ali was a charmer and clowner he made folks laugh and you KNEW he was joking. Ali was a likeable *******.
Floyd jr has spite in his heart he hates his father, even in retirement he insults boxers as bums, has no respect what so ever and never challenged the best.
Ali said he was the best but Fought them all!
I like Ray leonard but..
Sugar ray leonard changed the game forever he single handily ruined boxing...sugar ray leonard made way for roy jones jrs and floyd jrs...sugar ray came up with the win 10 seconds at the end of the round, he was the guy who cared more about money.Last edited by Parody; 07-26-2008, 02:07 AM.Comment
