Reading over just some, of the MASSIVE flood of Floyd-related chatter on the www might make you believe that he's the most popular person in boxing. Now normally when you think of popularity, you would assume the positive. But in this case you cannot. Because Floyd's popularity is based on both the positive and the negative. There is no personality in boxing that generates as much talk as Floyd Mayweather ... bar none, No one even comes close.
Among the elite in the sport, within reach of his weight class. Even they get excited about the possibility of becoming the one to hand Floyd his first defeat. Floyd represents, not only recognition, but also affirmation as the premier in boxing.
Even when Floyd was in retirement, the chatter on forums about him continued to multiply. Going from the current news to becoming speculative and hypothetical .... but it was still relentless and unyielding.
Face it - love him or hate him, this guy {Floyd Mayweather} generates conversation and interest in boxing 24/7 and the world of boxing would be boring, repetitive and dreary without him.
