    I wonder how those white guys Ali, Leonard and Tyson did it?
    that was when boxing was a mainstream sport.
    and i am white so i dont fall into the nationalistic category.

    But Everything I wrote is logical and it generally true.
    it is not racial, it is commonsense.

        Oh, lol, I get it! An almost 36 year old fighter who never fought above 130 except on two occasions is the new face of Mexico and this makes him the best fight for Floyd and will bring in the most money. Its nice to see that even though you are from NY, you have your finger on the pulse of Mexican boxing and how it translates into being the best fight for Floyd. Excellent!!

          you mean guys like Gerry Cooney?
          I think everybody would agree gerry cooney was partly successful because whites love his underdog blue collar story, and plus he was white.
          and Gerry cooney was 25-0 before he fought Larry homles

          and why are you writing in color fonts?

              because it is obvious that I am the one wasting my time talking to somebody
              with no commonsense.

                But that is not the case for fighters of different races who dont have built in fan bases.

                  Are you saying mayweather is not a draw on his own?

                  Who besides Oscar can you compare mayweather with?

                  Mayweather is the biggest American draw since Oscar Retired.

                  Let's Look at the World Biggest Draws:
                  United States: Floyd Mayweather
                  Mexico: JMM and Margarito
                  Puerto Rico: Miguel Cotto
                  United Kingdom:Ricky Hatton
                  Cuba: Yuriorkis Gamboa
                  Ukraine:Vitali and Wlad Klitschko
                  Philippines: Manny Pacquaio
                  Venezuela : Jorge Linares
                  Dominican Republic: Juan Guzman

                  Out of this list we dont have to ask who makes the most money
                  and we dont have to ask who is the most accomplish

                  To say Mayweather cant carry the show is crazy, especially when he is the sports biggest american star.

                    if you don't believe in yourself, who else is gonna? the thing about mayweather is that he has the skills to back up what he says, and that's what matters to me.
                    Co-sign. If you have the skills flaunt that ****. Why hide something you've worked hard for.

                      Than just answer this simple question that the others have run from than.....If Floyd IS such a draw, and he HAS said if he came back it would be for legacy, then why isn't he targeting the proven and more dangerous fighters in his own division. Obviously you can't use the money argument since you have so convincingly shown what a draw Floyd is and that he could undoubtedly carry a show. So why not Cotto, Willams or Mosely? And if this is just a tune up, why not face a fighter at welterweight who has proven himself at this weight?
