    Ali/Inoki did look kinda bad really. Because it exposed the fact that as great a boxer as Ali was, the mob needed to threaten a ****ing pro wrestler into barely being able to do anything to him, and he STILL managed to put Ali in hospital.

    It didnt effect his boxing legacy at all though.

      Inoki was allowed to use his own tricks so it shouldn't affect his legacy... Just as KingMay-BigShow shouldn't affect our boxing king's legacy unlike the Logan fight...

        Just like yesterday didn't tarnish anything either. Floyd fought a cruiserweight who was 18 years younger than him.

        That will never change the fact that he beat Pacquiao and was the best fighter of his generation.

          I wish it was the case..

          But Floyd coming in the fight was expected to **** that kid dry..

          but what happened was...


          Random people in the street being asked who Floyd is..


          Do you know who Floyd Mayweather is?

          Random person : "oh the guy who lost to Logan Paul? Is that him?"

          That's Floyd's legacy now..

          His career went down to zero..

          No one to blame but himself..

            Only the hype swallowers like you thought this, boxing people like Ryan Garcia, Holyfield, Tyson, there is a long list of them that had a very different view than you did.

              I was talking what casuals how they will see Floyd now.. He will be known as the guy who got beat by a youtuber with an 0-1 record. His name lost some shine..

              Floyd's house hold name lost some stocks. Floyd was right. No one will buy his next bank Heist, because no one will pay for it. He's done. He looks sloppy the whole night over an 0-1 fighter. It's not rocket science. Simple analysis RoadBlock.

                And it all means nothing in the big picture, the guy boxed circles around a HW he didn't stop him he didn't lose you dipstick lol, as somebody said Floyd earned more money than Jordans 15 seasons from one BS circus with a youtube.

                It has no reflection on his pro boxing career that is engraved in stone, Manny was blowing on a bag the other day this Manny wouldn't stop a trained 200lb Paul either.

                Plastic people have plastic thoughts I know where you're coming from, you didn't win anything he still beat Manny as his career's easiest win, I guess the way you trianglate things a youtuber can put up more of a fight than Manny did.

                  Neither Floyd or Ali ruined their legacy. It was a bit embarrassing for Floyd but it didn't ruin anything he did before. I know he was embarrassed too.

                    What a ridiculous comparison.

                    ​​Firstly, Ali vs Inoki was a proto-MMA match, not a boxing match. May vs Paul was an actual boxing match.

                    Secondly, Inoki is an all-time great wrestler and a pioneer in MMA. Paul is a YouTuber with a 0-1 boxing record, who lost to another YouTuber, FIFA player KSI.

                    Floyd will never be as great as Ali, no matter how much he wishes.

                      Here's a pillow. Sleep it through. You'll shake it off. Just stop crying bruh.. There's more to life than worrying about Floyd.
