Is Mayweather trying to be Ali?

[Left Banned Tua]

That's the idea but the problem is he doesn't have the intelligence and the charisma of an ALI.

floyd can't even be as good as pacquiao let alone ali.

Question: Can Mayweather Jr. rhyme like Ali? Only Senior does, and he reads it lol

Ali could be very mean-spirited but he was also very playful and clever. I think Mayweather tries to emulate him in a way, but I never can accept that it is all an act. He wouldn't and couldn't do it so continually if that wasn't who he is.

Ali was more courageous as a fighter, going after the toughest heavyweights of his era and doing what he could do to ensure these fights happened. Whereas PBF throws up roadblocks to fighting strong opponents, like demanding ridiculous and unnecessary testing. Demands that are not his to make from the beginning.

But look at Ali now. His fluent bragging mouth has turned into a muffled mumble. He proud athleticism transformed to a trembling shuffle. I believe in all that metaphysical thing and see a connection. The one who exalts himself will be humbled.

PBF should open up his eyes because it is only a short time before his arrogant hide is knocked off his perch.

If he is, he's failing miserably.

[Rolling Stone]

he can try but there is only 1 Ali

Ali trashtalked in a brilliant way; he made people laff (except his opponents ofcourse)

Mayweather ain't nothing compared to Ali.

floyd sr sounds JUST LIKE ali with his poetry

[Thread Stealer]

No. Ali didn't deliberately try to be hated. He just did his thing and that's the response he got for it. His smack talk was 100% real. Floyd is just doing what he gotta do to keep his name hot. I wouldn't say he's biting off Ali, though obviously people will compare the 2.

He sort of did, he was being a salesman/character basically, playing the heel. He was influenced by the wrestler Gorgeous George and George gave him advice on how his trash talk would get the people coming to the arena.

its the the swag us colored folks got, dont hate. You cant buy this, its natural to us.
