Floyd, Ali, Hagler what do they have in common?

[DiegoFuego]

Didn't know Floyd was a social activist.

If you call using your religion to justify beating up men in the ring and then use that same religion as an excuse not to go to war, yeah I guess that's social activism to ********...and being a ***** to everyone else.

[MANGLER]

Ali and Hagler fought everybody.

Damn right.

Why did the NAACP award Ali with the President Award this year? And since you are pretty much equating Floyd with Ali, when do you think Floyd will win it? After all, you're saying they were hated for the same things and will be loved for the same things. So when?

Obviously you can't read.

I said Floyd is hated on for far LESS than Ali ever was, and Ali is beloved now. People aren't going to care in 10 years that Floyd was arrogant and "made it rain" at every party he went to or club he showed up at. They're going to see that he was undefeated in 5 weight classes, something nobody has come close to doing and maybe won't ever.

umm you're kidding, right? I'm from Louisville and everyone here hated the man when he dodged the draft. Don't talk about things you have no clue about. The guy was considered a hypocrite in his own hometown, so how is that not hated?

Have you ever seen some of Haglers earlier fights?? He didn't even get recognition and when he fought in England and beat one of their fighters. I think it was allan minter (Maybe even won the title) They booeed and threw beer cans etc in the ring at hagler. Hagler did not really get his props for a long time down the line.

Ali not hated??? When Ali didnt agree to go to war he was hated by many in the states and called all sorts of names, jailed, had his license taken and had no way to earn a living. During the time before he was jailed he had to fight outside of the states in England etc and even stoop to performing in plays/musicals to get money to live. (if that is not hating someone then I dont know what is.)

I do feel Floyd is very underappreciated. Everyone talks about everyone who Floyd ducked, but goddamn the man took on 5 divisions. Everyone complains that Hopkins was too big for middleweight, that he picked on the smaller men, but at least (unlike certain legends) BHop was actually able to beat the 'smaller' men he faced.

I can't believe you said Ali is underrated, i really can't. If you ask people randomly who is the best boxer of all time, they will say ali.
