    Is Mayweather trying to be Ali?

    Based on his big mouth, Is he trying to be Ali? Trash talking his opponents, claiming to be the greatest etc......

    Ali said he was the greatest before he did **** in boxing. Nothing wrong with trash talk.

            Yes, Floyd is taking a page from Ali.

            and the funny thing is, people act as if Ali was liked during most of his career.

            In fact mainstream America despised Ali until his fight with Foreman.
            Ali's way of bringing attention to himself and talking to his opponents was unattractive at the time, but it got people interested.


            Floyd isn't like now, but he is doing his numbers and bringing attention and publicity to the sport of boxing, which for a while has been subjected to the bottom right corner on page 10 in the sports section. Floyd is doing his part to change that.

            I tried to tell people, Floyd without the trash talk would be a undefeated Winky Wright or even a more experienced Chad Dawson.

            and theres a HUGE difference in Floyd Mayweathers money now than Winky Wright's money.

                Nothing wrong with Trash talk. I rather has some type of disdain for the person who i am fighting. For this person is trying to seriously hurt me to further his career. I rather go in trash talking that person.

                It's Boxing, not golf or tennis.

                  hes not liked now and i dont think he'll ever be. ali truly had the gift of gab. he was a loudmouth, but he was clever, witty and sharp. floyd isnt any of the latter. he cant pull off the tongue-in-cheek insults either becuz his personality is so bratty and abrasive.

                    Ali first said it the night after the fight.
