mayweather trying to act like ali

[Boxin']

floyd sucks at trash talking
ali was great at doing it and didnt need to say **** every 5 seconds

I agree Ali is 1000 times the trash talker Floyd is but Floyd was pretty funny in the the 24/7 though.

"Im a prizefighter.. duhh"

Trash talk makes things more interesting. If Floyed acted like a gent all the time I would never watch any of his fights. I watch them so someone can shut him up. Two boxers being nice and polite to each other? no one is as into that.

Whatever Mayweather is doing it is working. This fight with Mosley will be epic in PPV sales.

He isn't acting like Ali. He is like Ali...

As dumb, loud and annoying as he was.

Ali was a mature trash-taker and you could see as he got older and established veteran status, his trash talking was more epic. His trash talk grew with his age.


With Floyd it feels like no matter how much older he gets, that boy-ish, teenage-esque loutmouthing stays although he has his entertaining moments in between.

Like the whole steroid taunting he did on 24/7, I.E. All natural, no steroids during a workout. That was a subliminal punch at Pacquiao...the whole segment with the USADA people, more fun stuff with the steroid/HGH taunts.

He was fanning the flames, as the expression goes, in those exmaples above in a entertaining fashion imo. It wasn't annoying. And I don't even like reading countless articles about the whole steroid thing, but hearing him taunt Mosley and Pac, and I was amused.

I did notice the scene outside where he had 20 people around him or whatever. He said soemthing and repaeated it a few times. Reminded me of Ali

Not a bad thing, not original but copying Ali is never a bad thing in most cases

Dunno if I have confused you before with someone else but you're making a lot of sense and good posts

He said, "Hard work and dedication". Other people have probably said that before but it's a trademark saying of Floyd's.


I even used those words in my Mosley-Mayweather promo video that I made:

[Thread Stealer]

Mayweather's trash talk and other comments is actually pretty tame compared to some of the things Ali said. Calling Joe Frazier an ugly Uncle Tom gorilla, calling Joe Louis & Jackie Robinson Uncle Toms, saying ******s who marry outside of their religion should be killed.

The main difference is that Mayweather lacks the charisma that Ali had. Ali could be funny, while Mayweather usually isn't funny IMO. Floyd Jr got the bulk of the boxing talent in that family, but the comedic talents went to his father and uncle.

Whats wrong with trash talk?

roy calling bhop "big head" is trash-talk.

floyd talking about mosley's personal life is *****-talk.
