Would Mayweather be a draw if he didnt hype himself up?

    Ali was the greatest. He had a legit argument. Look at his resume of wins and look at Mayweathers

      At least he's not "I fights who my peoples tells me to fights" like that boring mofo Cotto.

      Put down the hateraid mexican..it stunts your grouth.

        Floyd is an *******, talks too much ****(even though he backs it up), disrespected his father to the media, doesn't care about the fans, doesn help the people in need, instead he flaunts his ***els and money and acts like a typical rapper. Which is why he doesn't put asses in seats to the equivalent of Pacquiao, DLH etc. etc.
        Floyd was the SECOND highest paid athlete according to Forbes in 07.

        You must have swine flu if you think he fails in terms of ticket sales.

          Floyd is not a one punch artist but the best.Hype is part of the game,Ali knew it and utilised it to the max.
          You might have a good product but if you dont promote it who will buy it.Floyd's strategy works well for him and take his situation into perspective.If you breakdown the market you will note the demographics are not in his favour.

                And he turned out to be the greatest.

                Mayweather is probably done or has 2 fights left. He has a B level Resume. Ali beat Foreman, Norton, Frazier, Liston, and many other great heavyweights.

                Mayweather has fought Past Prime De La Hoya, Hatton, Corrales, and Judah? Do those compare? Especially with so many A level fighters out there. Ali ducked no man
