that's the difference between ali and the guy who claims to be better than ali
Ali told you what round he was gonna knock someone out and it happens.

floyd doesn't have the same following as hatton because he is boring. not because he is black. Tyson was black, and just look at the all-time ppv numbers to see how ppl were driven away by his dominance, lol.
american football is dominated by blacks yet its the most popular sport in the states making billions of dollars every year. Tiger Woods is black and he is the first athlete to make 1 billion dollars because "white" ppl love to watch him.
As much as I believe that there is racism in this world, I think it tends to be over blown by some people like yourself.
Floyd is boring?How about Paul Williams i suppose he`s "boring" also.How about Shane Mosley?Borefestorama?Please!Face it the fight fans of today are nationalistic and racist to a degree.
At the Hopkins/Delahoya fight you had Mexicans calling Hops a ****** after hops knock out Delahoya.At the Joe Mesi/WIlliamson fight you had the whites in that audience saying "knock out that ******",At the Paul WIllaims/Margarito fight you had Mexicans saying Kill the ******.For those who don`t know,****** means black beetle.
The way to solve this problem about blacks difficulty becoming a star is for Promotors to market their black fighters towards a black Audience.Get them on BET ,black magazines etc.

this ****ty thread was made racial just because people hate on defensive fighters, especially the #1 p4p cherry picker of all time
people appreciate robinson, louis, ali, leonard, mosley, etc. black fighters from any generation. they had entertaining styles and if they bad a big ego, it was because they actually earned it through amazing wins
some black crybabies complain here about black defensive fighters not getting so much love but guess what? boxing is a sport. televised sports are a way of entertainment and watching someone avoid taking chances isn't entertaining to most people. add to that one of them cherry picking and not taking chances even with those opponents he cherry picked and you'll understand why he's not appreciated
anyway, floyd has more money than all of us together. these guys should be happy for that at least

Ya`ll did pretty much did the same thing to Roy Jones.
floyd has done NOTHING since he moved up to 140 and 147. he's a cherry picker and an opportunist. he beat up a shot gatti, a lucky bum in baldomir, a judah that just came from losing to a bum, a not shot but clearly past prime de la hoya, a 140 champ on 147, where he had already struggled and almost gotten KO'd, and last but not least, a guy whose prime weight is 130 and campaigned at 135 while struggling
get back at me when floyd actually fights a live opponent. stop crying for him, because while you try to defend his cherry picking, he's making more money than you could even dream of. stop putting it like he's having a tough time because of us. heck, HE already admitted that he doesn't care about legacy, and it shows

i've never called him a ****** because that's going far to low. i won't lower myself to an ex convict's level of disrespect, even if it were to promote something. but hey, that's just me... maybe you would also like to defend that??
