Is Floyd Mayweather Jr the modern day Muhammad Ali?

[TBear]

floyd called out people and fought who ever stepped up the plate. dont hate b/c people didnt step up to he move up in weight to chase more fights

Oh yes he'd be great if all those guys like Margarito didn't avoid him.

[PAKYO]

Ali is the truth.

Floyd is a fraud. Period.

[LeeVanCleef]

Uh he can't do great poetry like Ali. Sorry Floyd Fans.

In terms of being hated and talking trash yeah.

In terms of skill. Floyd is more skilled then him.

WTF???

do you think Foreman hammering ALI is far more less entertaning than running in

the ring with Money may with Baldomir???

running is not a skill while you potshots.

PBF says he will win in any circumstances whether it is boring or not.

[Pacquiao'd]

like he said, he wanted to be the first Floyd mayweather Jr.

ali is the more accomplished fighter but on pure boxing skills floyd is streets ahead,like it or not floyd is one of the purest u will ever see,unfortunatly alot of people dont appreciate him now,mostly down to how he portrays himself but if u ask me floyd tried the whole nice guy route and it got him nowere and look at him now since he changed hes the top dog in boxing....its all business with floyd after fights he is nothing but the upmost respect for his opponents.....

At one point Ali was the most famous man on the planet.

Mayweather simply doesn't have that kind of charisma or magnetism. Floyd really doesn't have much of a personality at all: he's not funny, he's not eloquent, he's not sharp, he's not witty, he's not philosophical, he's not switched on to the world outside himself, he's not iconic, he's not a real fully three-dimensional person; he's a cartoon and a mix and match of numerous personalities.

Floyd should just be himself. Because, at the end of the day none of us know Floyd at all, just the characature of Floyd 'Money'. An accurate characature of a bit of a prick at best, or a boring, concieted, ignorant narcissist at worst.
