        but to the ones here in America;


        How do you feel about Floyd comparing himself to great social leaders like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X?

        Please discuss
        Floyd is promoting himself and his fights. He is saying whatever he needs to to get attention and promote himself. Regardless of what you think of him, his "act" is working a hell of a lot better job at it than Arum's promoting skills did in the years he fought under Arum's banner. What Floyd is doing is the equivalent of what the bad guys in professional wrestling do when they are on camera. They talk trash, they piss people off, they do all kinds of things to promote themselves (and it is no secret that the heels in professional wrestling have traditionally made the most money because of their popularity).

        What Floyd is doing is no different than what Muhammad Ali did in the 1960s and 1970s. Most of the people on this site are too young to remember Ali in his prime but I saw him fight in the 70s and I remember his constant self-promotion and Ali would say just about anything and piss people off left and right. Ali is well-loved now, but back then he was as hated as Floyd Mayweather is today by the media, fans and other boxers.

          You ever stop to think that dude actually doesn't believe the ridiculous **** that comes out of his mouth?

          He says it because it'll get a reaction out of people(Negative or Positive).

          It obviously works since people create threads about him 24/7, and every time he speaks.
          So his fans pick and choose waht they want to hear? He told us Manny is on roids, but how do we know he believes what he says. Now his words dont have any credence to them, and his credibility is as strong as bernie madoff's. At least now we know who ducked the fight.

                  I could flip what you said 100% reverse.

                  People say he has no credibility about the Steroids situation, but then pick and choose when he's making a serious statement, and can't read hyperbole?

                  I dunno dude. I have better stuff to do than to get mad at what a Boxer of all people says

                    Its funny how Floyd gets a pass for saying the dumbest, most ignorant and insulting things but when Pac interviews, he gets ****ted on by Floyd fans. The man can barely speak English and is considered ignorant of American social norms, even by Filipinos. As an older black man, I'm appalled at Floyd comparing himself to MLK and Malcolm X. Young brothas don't seem to understand what these men did for our people, and to compare himself to them is a travesty. He's an ignorant, uneducated, and arrogant little punk who will say or do anything for attention. He gets no pass from this African American.

                      Did you know that you can still be a nuthugger even if you don't like a fighter? All you really need is an unhealthy obsession with him.

                      So uhhhhhh... Give the man's nuts some breathing room. (Pause)
